Bug Fixes

Wifi Trigger, triggering incorrectly

Bartender 5 in macOS Sonoma was using rssi value to detect a active wifi network, as SSID in macOS Sonoma now requires location services, this should report 0 for no network connection, but also reports 0 for some users when connected. I have changed Bartender logic to now check more network values to determine if a wifi interface is connected.

macOS Accessibility zoom preventing Bartender from working

Due to a bug in macOS zoom functionality, apps cannot use some Accessibility features after using the macOS keyboard hot key ⌘⌥- to zoom out of zoom.
This can be fixed by turning off macOS System Settings > Accessibility > Zoom > Use keyboard shortcuts to zoom.
You should then restart Bartender to get it working again.
Also due to changes in how zoom works in macOS Sonoma items cannot be shown/hidden while the screen is zoomed.
Warning messages about both situations have been added to Bartender.

Bartender activating when user clicked on BusyCal menu

Due to a bug in macOS Sonoma 14.0 (fixed in 14.1 betas). Bartender would activate itself when the user clicked on some apps left menu (as macOS returned a incorrect length for the menu) if show on click was enabled, I have worked around this macOS 14.0 bug in Bartender.
Big thanks to the devs at BusyCal for helping with this.

macOS Accessibility zoom

For a small number of users Bartender was falsely thinking zoom was active in macOS when it wasnt (due to old macOS settings), this has been fixed.
