Four things the readme claims that stop being true at the tag, and two that were already wrong.

Linux is no longer source-only. The release workflow builds an AppImage and a deb, x64 and arm64, so the download line and the whole Linux section were wrong the moment a tag went out.

macOS has a floor and it was written nowhere. Measured rather than assumed:

$ plutil -extract LSMinimumSystemVersion raw node_modules/electron/dist/Electron.app/Contents/Info.plist
12.0

Electron 43 does not run on Catalina or Big Sur. 2.2.1 stays on the releases page for anyone there.

The two Linux permissions moved up to where someone installing would read them, rather than sitting at the bottom under Build It Yourself. Both say that Modbux offers to do it.

The dialout note caught up with the app. It reads the group off the device now rather than assuming the name, and it offers the logout that a group change needs.

Cut the count of skipped specs on Windows. It was written by hand and the suite has grown well past it. No number beats a wrong one.
