New experimental version! Some bug fixes.
New experimental version! This one is a big boi update, with several long-awaited features and fixes for the settings window and dock.
If the updates in this version are successful, we've finally crossed the biggest hurdle preventing me from calling this release stable, and there are only small items left on my list after that.
New experimental version!
GC-BTT now initializes the settings menu properly, guaranteed. No more red rows, no more settings not flipping, things should work now even if you've never installed GC-BTT before.
This new version uses a much more intelligent way of making sure that all of the GC-BTT settings variables are set before you are let into the settings window. This way also has redundancy in two stages, so even if the first stage fails it gets caught by the second stage and finishes the GC-BTT setup before the settings window finishes loading.
The first stage was added to the latest BTT alpha, 2.825, and lets you run a named trigger on import. This new trigger sets all the variables to their default settings if they're not already set, and then sets the variable "init_complete" to "complete".
If the first stage was not able to finish for whatever reason - for example, BTT restarting in the middle of the import - the second stage is a pretty foolproof fallback. A JS loop in the settings window itself checks the "init_complete" variable to see if the initialization from the import actually finished. If it didn't, it runs the initialization on-the-fly before it finishes loading the settings menu.
Both of these stages actually trigger the same script - it just gets two chances to finish running. The result is that all the switches in the settings menu should be finally flipped properly when you first install GC-BTT.
We're just a few more versions away from stable now, I'd say 
New experimental version! Another big update. With the settings menu now (mostly) out of the way, I've been able to focus on highly requested features and polish.
New experimental version! I swear these are actually close to stable. To prove it, I am listing my remaining roadmap to the next stable release!
You can absolutely use this version as a daily driver, it's just not something I'd recommend using for six months straight without an upgrade.
that I've been putting off. Until I do this, disabling modifier menus just doesn't behave how I want it to.New experimental version! Emergency bug fix for the new Apple Calendar and Reminders badges.
Since a few folks reported about the sharing site downtime yesterday, I've decided to upload mirrors of the current stable and experimental versions to GitHub. The sharing site will still always be the canonical way to get the preset, but I just wanted to provide a mirror in case the sharing site ever does experience issues.

New experimental version! Things should finally work now. I tested it with an actual copy of Things! (Whaaaaaaaat?!)
I've also made some changes to how often various scripts run. All scripts that previous ran every second will now run every two seconds. Hopefully this results in a noticeable drop in energy usage without a hit to perceived performance. This preset's energy usage is still unwieldily and I'd like to get it to a state where it isn't nuking your battery life, but there's definitely only so much I can limit the scripts before they completely lose their utility. This is definitely an ongoing investigation so please report energy consumption stats in the support thread

New experimental version! Weather widget icon fix + new native calendar widget integration!
To get to the next stable version faster, I've cut a few smaller features. I'll revisit them as soon as the new stable version is out.
Once this stable version is released I'm going to rethink how I brand these releases, since the experimental channel ended up becoming more stable than the stable version.

New experimental version! This one includes critical bug fixes for the previous version. Thank you to everyone who reported these issues!
Make sure you update BTT to 3.172 before installing this GC release!
I think this experimental release is particularly stable, especially with the import and upgrade improvements, so I've asked @Andreas_Hegenberg to verify it! A rare occurrence for an experimental version

New experimental version!
With the upgrade path fully developed and tested, I now feel confident enabling settings auto-restore - if GC-BTT detects existing settings on import, it will now automatically restore them for you.
This makes upgrading much easier - and it works with all GC-BTT versions back to 2.641, the current stable version, so everyone will be able to upgrade easily now
Please give it a shot. Hopefully it just works!
Please report on the success or failure of settings auto-restore.

Critical new experimental version - this fixes a huge issue with the settings menu that settings auto-restore uncovered where settings were not be saved persistently. This, in combination with the new settings auto-restore code, would cause GC-BTT to reset to the default settings after a BTT restart.
Additionally, the fact that until now settings were not saving persistently explains the vast majority of peoples' upgrade issues. I think this should finally nip all upgrading issues in the bud.
Please continue banging on settings and auto-upgrading!

New experimental version! The floating window snapping grid has gotten its long-awaited tune-up, with more intuitive multi-monitor support and its own menu bar widget
@Andreas_Hegenberg has been hard at work on a new build of BTT that will offer to replace your existing version of GC-BTT. It's possible that it could be ready as soon as today. Once this new build is out, the only thing you'll need to do to upgrade GC-BTT is click "Direct Import to BTT" and confirm the upgrade
GC-BTT 3.173 is totally prepared for this feature, so please try it out when it's available!

New experimental version! This adds a new clipboard manager, and tidies up a lot of the default UI in preparation for being declared the next stable version. I'd say we're just one or two builds away! Really all that's left is to tidy up the System Information widget group.
Please take this time to test and report any bugs that persist, especially with upgrading/restoring settings.

Release candidate time! If no major bugs are found, the next build will be declared stable.
This RC adds a ton of stuff - I've been sprinting to the finish line. You'll see a number of visual updates, and lots of polishing up. A lot of things that were previously left unoptimized to keep development moving are now optimized and ready for production. Overall, GC-BTT should feel snappier as odd blinks and slowdowns across the UI have been eliminated. Upgrades should work flawlessly every time.
This version also introduces new designs for modifier menus that make better room for the normal esc key style. The structure of these new designs finally allows you to truly disable modifier menus without side effects.
Finally, this version eliminates the need for icalBuddy by adding a native Reminders widget - a huge step forward for the preset, as it is now completely dependency-free!
A huge thank you to everyone who has tested and reported bugs over the last year, you guys made this happen.

GoldenChaos-BTT 3.200 Stable is here!
It brings massive improvements and a ton of new features to GC-BTT. And this stable version of GC-BTT has been thoroughly tested by the community over the last year, making this a Touch Bar you can truly depend on.
From this point forward, my plan is to make stable releases more frequent. Most of the time on this release was spent eliminating dependencies, working on the settings window, and ensuring that upgrades work reliably. These were major behind-the-scenes endeavors that provide the foundation to expand GC-BTT's capabilities much further while also making it much easier for me to manage adding and maintaining all these new features.
As you can imagine, a decent portion of these features are thanks to @Andreas_Hegenberg, who's help and continued development on BTT made many of these features and updates possible. BetterTouchTool 3.200, on its own, is a huge update that adds auto-updating presets for the whole community, not just for GC-BTT. And the new native calendar and reminders widgets have finally allowed us to ditch icalBuddy. F's in the chat y'all.
Another huge thanks to everyone who spent the last year testing and reporting issues with the experimental versions to make this the most stable GC-BTT release to date.
Finally, since this is a stable release, I'll be going over everything that's been added since the previous stable version. The first post's instructions and screenshots will be updated shortly as well. Here we go!
