WinBox 4 is finally here, for Windows, macOS and Linux.
Video: https://youtu.be/IOjkWJfmM24
We have worked on it long and hard, but it's still only the first public beta, so a lot of things will change for sure. Not all features are there yet, they will come soon, and you will not have to wait another 15 years. There are a lot of new design decisions that might be hard to get used to, but we have chosen to leave most of the look familiar. Enjoy and write your comments, suggestions and wishes. Of course, a lot of design things will still change, we know there are some controversial things. Please try to report bugs first, design comments second.
- We have Dark mode!
- Apps for multiple operating systems!
- Most importantly, since it's all built from zero, we have the ability to quickly change and fix things!
