• Updated links in the menu bar.

Known issues:

Known issues:

• A crash of the app can occur for hackintosh users having custom SIP (System Integrity Protection, also known as car-active-config in your bootloader config file) configurations, it's recommended to have SIP completely off or completely on. This issue has already been fixed into the source code and a new build will be uploaded as soon as the testing is complete.
• This release will crash on some computers with SIP Enabled.

Version 3.0 BETA 4:

• Added multiple language system to let the app to be translated in different languages in future versions of the tool

Release notes:

• The source code can be compiled just with xcode 10.1 because it still uses swift 3 (the project will be moved to swift 4 or 5 when release 3.0 will be finished) and because it requires some xcode 10's specific features.
• Building of EFI partition mounter as a standalone tool is broken in the source code included with this release, since, a lot of changes in how TINU works, aren't applied yet, to the xcode project for the standalone EFI partition mounter app. Keep an eye on the development branch of this repo for an updated source code which will solve this problem.
• This version is (at the time of release) the reccommended version if you want to use Catalina or Big Sur

In case of any bugs or issues is highly reccommended to create an issue here on the TINU github repo.
