Scroll Reverser Changelog

What's new in Scroll Reverser 1.8.2

Mar 14, 2022
  • Fixed broken scrolling with Trackpad and Magic Mouse in Safari, on macOS Monterey 12.2 and Big Sur 11.6.2. Thanks to Jiahao for the fix.
  • Adds Czech, Danish, Hungarian and Vietnamese translations, plus updates to other languages. Thanks to all the translators.

New in Scroll Reverser 1.8.1 (Jul 7, 2021)

  • Added step size adjustment for scroll wheels. This lets you increase the amount of scroll when single stepping the wheel. (It is similar to the DiscreteScroll app.)
  • Added French, Hebrew, Nepali, Turkish and Ukranian translations and updated several other translations. Thanks to all those who contributed - too many names now to keep track of in the release notes. (I am now using the CrowdIn translation platform for app localization. If you would like to update the translation in your language, here is the invite link: https://crwd.in/pilotmoon-apps. I can also add new languages, you will just need to send me a message first so I can add it.)

New in Scroll Reverser 1.8 (Jul 7, 2021)

  • Updated for macOS 11.0 Big Sur.
  • Universal app for both Intel and Apple M1 chip.
  • Dark mode.
  • New user interface in prefs prompts you when required permissions are missing (Accessibility and Input Monitoring).
  • Fixed crashing due to missing Accessibility permission.
  • Reimplemented Start at Login functionality to be more reliable now, I hope.
  • Removed the “Reverse Tablet” option.
  • The minimum system requirement is now macOS 10.12.6.

New in Scroll Reverser 1.7.6 (May 12, 2017)

  • Some internal changes to the way preferences are loaded. (As part of investigating Issue #38: Scroll reverser preferences randomly change.)
  • Translation updates, including a new Norwegian translation (thanks, Patrick).

New in Scroll Reverser 1.7.5 (Apr 27, 2017)

  • Added Simplified Chinese (zh-CN) translation. (Thanks, Ruocheng Wang.)
  • Added Dutch translation. (Thanks, Erik.)
  • Fixes the following problems:
  • Presence of Scroll Reverser triggering additional security dialogs (for example, in Keychain permissions dialogs);
  • "Shake to locate cursor" not working with Trackpad while Scroll Reverser is running;
  • Notification center getting stuck half-open while Scroll Reverser is running.

New in Scroll Reverser 1.7.4 (Nov 12, 2016)

  • The relaunch-on-wake implementation is now more robust.
  • A small correction to the Polish translation.

New in Scroll Reverser 1.7.3 (Nov 7, 2016)

  • Scroll Reverser now silently relaunches itself when your Mac wakes from sleep. (This is because of the ongoing problem where macOS sometimes stops sending gesture events to Scroll Reverser after awaking from sleep, preventing it from telling the difference between trackpad and mouse. Hopefully, this will help.)
  • Added Hungarian and Polish translations. (Thanks, Léki and Artur.)
  • Fixed a bug where, on unchecking "Show in menu bar", the "Icon Hidden" message would appear multiple times.

New in Scroll Reverser 1.7.2 (Jan 11, 2016)

  • Fixes for bug where Scroll Reverser would sometimes stop working, requiring app restart. (Now it should hopefully not stop working, and if it does you can just toggle Scroll Reverser off/on to reset it.)
  • You can now right-click (or control-click) the menu bar icon to toggle Scroll Reverser on/off.
  • New algorithm to (hopefully) distinguish more accurately between trackpad and mouse.
  • Added a debug console to help with fault-finding. To show the debug window, option-click (⌥-click) the Scroll Reverser menu bar icon.
  • Added Korean, Russian, Slovak and Traditional Chinese translations. (Thanks Josef, Byungkook Jang, Dmitry, and Johnny.)

New in Scroll Reverser 1.7.1 (Jan 8, 2015)

  • Fixed bug (introduced in v1.7) where Scroll Reverser would sometimes stop working after using it for a while.

  • Now treats a Wacom mouse's scrolling as coming from a mouse, rather than a tablet.
  • Gave the app icon a freshen up.
