New in MenuMeters 2.1.2.1 (Dec 13, 2020)

  • The font size of CPU temperature now follows the font size of the CPU meter.
  • The CPU meter pull-down menu now shows the thermal power limit status.
  • The memory pressure mode of the memory meter now reports the value as shown in the system Activity Monitor.
  • The net meter now reports the Airport speed as shown in the system WiFi menu.
  • You can now reset traffic totals in the net meter.
  • MenuMeters show CPU frequency on Apple Silicon.
  • Other minor bug fixes. If you have opened a GitHub issue, please have a look.

New in MenuMeters 2.1.1 (Nov 30, 2020)

  • A bug in the net meter on Big Sur was fixed, where it sometimes showed 0 bytes/sec unless the menu was brought up by clicking it.
  • Started preliminary Apple Silicon support. If the app crashes, please open it in Rosetta.

New in MenuMeters 2.1.0 (Nov 30, 2020)

  • The order of various 'meters' in the menu bar should now be preserved on Big Sur.

New in MenuMeters 2.0.9 (Nov 16, 2020)

  • Now you can select colors with transparencies. (It's really one line of code, to override the default setting that the color panel doesn't show the opacity slider. I don't know why it's the default in 2020.)
  • The auto-updater now sends basic system info, such as macOS version and cpu type. For more details, see https://sparkle-project.org/documentation/system-profiling/ . This is to objectively decide how much effort I should put into maintaining compatibility with older macOS versions and/or adopting new CPU architectures.

New in MenuMeters 2.0.8.3 (Nov 2, 2020)

  • This is the stable release for 2.0.8.x .
  • You can now tint the colors toward black/white depending on whether the system is in the light/dark mode, using a slider.
  • Activity Monitor can now be opened from any MenuMeter.
  • Many other bug fixes.
  • Probably with new bugs, due to my ongoing rewrite of the internals toward Big Sur.
  • (The original 2.0.8 contained a bug which made it unusable when the menubar was set to auto-hide. The version 2.0.8.2 I released to address the issue in fact made it unusable in other cases too, which was public only for about two hours but ~600 people downloaded. This version 2.0.8.3 should behave better.)

New in MenuMeters 2.0.8.2 (Nov 2, 2020)

  • Fixes a serious bug where the app does not load correctly when the main menu bar is in the auto-hide mode.
  • It should fix #185 = #189 .
  • Unfortunately the bug killed the auto-updater itself, so those affected need to install the binary by manually downloading it.

New in MenuMeters 2.0.8.1 (Nov 2, 2020)

  • Fixes two bugs in 2.0.8:
  • The dark mode support was in fact made worse on pre-Mojave systems
  • The activity monitor pane support was broken on Mac's with discrete GPUs

New in MenuMeters 2.0.8 (Oct 28, 2020)

  • You can now tint the colors toward black/white depending on whether the system is in the light/dark mode, using a slider.
  • Activity Monitor can now be opened from any MenuMeter.
  • Many other bug fixes.
  • Probably with new bugs, due to my ongoing rewrite of the internals toward Big Sur.

New in MenuMeters 2.0.7 (May 22, 2020)

  • CPU display modes are now configured in a saner way. You can now only show the CPU temperature, or even just a static label.

New in MenuMeters 2.0.6.1 (May 4, 2020)

  • The release 2.0.6 I uploaded about a day ago didn't actually fix #159, due to my stupid last minute change. It actually made things worse. This 2.0.6.1 should really fix the issue.
  • (Just to remember, the mistake I made was that when I tried to commit the bug fix, I realize that the some of the lines had only indent changes. To revert these lines, I copied the changes elsewhere, reverted the change, and applied the changes again, but to a different location with almost the same code. Ugh.)

New in MenuMeters 2.0.5 (Apr 27, 2020)

  • What a different world we live in right now. New Finnish localization thanks to @lanurmi , and the fix for a CPU percentage bug thanks to @macmaxbh .

New in MenuMeters 1.9.9 (Nov 4, 2019)

  • This version now runs outside of System Preferences. To install, download it, move it to /Applications (or any other location) by using Finder, and not from the command line, to clear the quarantine bit. launch it.
  • The step 2. is necessary to make MenuMeters to update itself when a new version is available.

New in MenuMeters 1.9.8 (Sep 19, 2019)

  • A couple of new functionalities thanks to pull requests. Also notarized for macOS 10.15 Catalina.
