Good Afternoon Everyone,

The final version of Icaros 3.3.0 is finally here.
I got through most of the showstoppers. You can find the few changes between this and the previous RC1 build in a post below.

A new build will be coming soon with some property handler improvements, so stay tuned!

Thank you so much to everyone you has provided feedback and helped me troubleshoot various issues!
I really appreciate the engagement and support! <3

Also thanks to Witchilich, you can now also find and install Icaros with Winget!

EDIT: For full transparency as always, here is the donation amount from 2022:

will be reset back to the default values, and will need to be set again.
