Wotja 23.14.0

• HEADS UP: This is expected to be the FINAL UPDATE for Wotja 23. Wotja 24 is expected to arrive Jan 1st 2024 and it will be a free App update for users of Wotja 23.
• IMPORTANT (iOS/iPadOS): Wotja 24 for iOS/iPadOS will require iOS/iPadOS 15 or later (the primary reason being that we require support for StoreKit 2). iOS 15 supported devices go back as far as iPhone 6S. If you have a device that cannot run iOS/iPadOS 15+ and want to use Wotja 23 in Pro mode then, if you have not done so already, we recommend considering purchase of the 23 Pro One Time Buy IAP whilst it is still available and before it is removed from sale on Jan 1st 2024. Otherwise, you would need to Go Pro via a Pro Subscription (we expect this should still work for you, but cannot guarantee that) or Pro 30 Day Unlock.
• IMPORTANT (macOS): Wotja 24 for macOS will require macOS 12 (Monterey) or later (the primary reason being that we require support for StoreKit 2, and we only discovered this after we did the release notes for 23.14.0). Monteray supported Macs include some Macs as old as 2013. If you have a Mac that cannot run macOS 12+ and want to use Wotja 23 in Pro mode then, if you have not done so already, we recommend considering purchase of the 23 Pro One Time Buy IAP whilst it is still available and before it is removed from sale on Jan 1st 2024. Otherwise, you would need to Go Pro via a Pro Subscription (we expect this should still work for you, but cannot guarantee that) or Pro 30 Day Unlock.
• IMPORTANT (tvOS): Wotja 24 for tvOS will require tvOS 15 or later (the primary reason being that we require support for StoreKit 2). tvOS 15 supported devices go back as far Apple TV HD. See iOS/iPadOS above re Pro mode.
• IMPORTANT (watchOS): Wotja 24 for watchOS will require watchOS 6 or later (the primary reason being that we require support for StoreKit 2). watchOS supported devices include Series 1 and 2. See iOS/iPadOS above re Pro mode.
• FIXED: Various issues related to document badge display and timeouts.
• CHANGED: FX Network Editor now includes a Store button.
• CHANGED: Reverted order of Go Pro and Tip groups and revised Tip icons.
• OTHER: Various minor bug fixes.

Wotja 23.13.2

• FIXED: Issue reported where iOS/macOS IAPs might not restore correctly, resolved by updating the In-App Purchase engine to use the latest StoreKit APIs and by adding an additional Store Sync option (see Restore button); this change means users with iOS 14 or earlier *might* have issues when purchasing or renewing IAPs and so we recommend those users update their iOS versions to 15 or later where possible.

• FIXED (macOS): Issue with audio break-up when using AirPods Pro / Max as audio output device.

• CHANGED: Rationalised App Range: We've moved to just one Wotja 23 App (Bundle) per year per OS platform; for those that want it, a new Pro One Time Buy (OTB) option is the functional equivalent of getting a paid-for Pro variant in previous years.
• OTHER: "V23 Play me!" mix: Shows some of the new templates and capabilities in action.
• MORE: Many other improvements, performance improvements and bug fixes.
