Bartender 3 has been completely rewritten from the ground up in Swift using best practices to work with modern macOS, it also paves the way for many new features we have planned.
The biggest change is we no longer require a helper to be installed in menu item apps to control them. This means we no longer do anything that SIP (System Integrity Protection) is interested in and can work with any menu bar app including those with increased security (Such as Apple System items).
What this does now mean though is that Bartender is no longer able to display the Bartender Bar beneath the menu bar but instead displayed it in the main menu bar removing normally shown items to display the Bartender Bar items.

Full macOS High Sierra compatibility. We did consider calling it High Bartender but thought better of it.

We 💚 iStat Menus and now Bartender 3 can control iStat menus items individually.

Adding in compatibility for more unusual app setups.

Bartender 3 would not work on a RTL setup mac, as all logic assumed menu items on the right of the screen, this is a initial attempt at adding RTL support.

For some users Bartender has been underperforming/not working correctly. With a lot of help from a user (thank you) to debug/log this, it should now work correctly and performance should be better. We are still working on improving this.

Small things, such as typo fixes and better explanations. Added remove button for menu item settings.

Airplay Display could still change position if set to "Always show in menu bar" this has been fixed.

The Setapp version of iStat menus could not be individually controlled, this has been fixed.

Version 3.0.36 had a crashing bug, this has been fixed.

Apps that do not have a process name in a localisation would not be controlled by Bartender, this has been fixed.

It was possible for Bartender to deactivate the screen saver if manually activated. But only in the initial 40 seconds. This has been fixed.

It was possible for Bartender to show show for update items when activating another screen, this has been improved, but is still possible in some specific situations, this will be fixed in a coming update.

It was possible for Bartender to not be able to control Amphetamine in some setups, we have worked around this.

If you pressed the search hotkey more than once the menu would reappear for each extra hotkey press. This has been fixed.

For a few users, Notification Center could sometimes activate by mistake, this should now be fixed.

Previous versions of Bartender 3 could not control PIA V77 die to changes to the PIA app, We have now added support for PIA version 77.

Some apps have old preferences remaining from previous versions etc, Bartender now better detects this correctly.

We have had reports of a crash, we believe we have fixed this.

Bartender now works more reliably on setups with multiple screens.

Autohide would only trigger on mouse events, we now also autohide when a new app becomes active (say via keyboard app switching).

Bartender checks for items removed by menu bar apps, but was producing some false positives in some situations, causing items to not be shown, we have improved on this.

We now save menu bar positions (previously we relied on macOS to do this) this should help maintain positions between Bartender restarts/reboots.

Pressing esc while searching will now exit search and reset the menu bar, pressing enter will start keyboard navigation.

Fixed the vertical positioning of the ●●● icon. Other icon options now display a variation of the icon when Bartender is showing Bartender items in the menu bar.

For some users Bartender has been underperforming/not working correctly. With a lot of help from a user (thank you) to debug/log this, it should now work correctly and performance should be better. We are still working on improving this.

For some users Bartender would not always expand the menu bar when needed (remove the left menu so all items could be seen) this is now fixed.

For a small number of users, items can become messed up in the menu bar, not aligned to each other correctly (we are investigating the cause still). With this version Bartender should be able to reset them.

Bartender should be slightly faster at switching states for some users.

We have added in more fixes to try and get Airport Displays to not jump position.

Bartender 3 license checking is a bit more stringent than Bartender 2, if a user had trailing white space in there license name from Bartender 2 it would fail to verify in Bartender 3.

Fixes for UI issues in Preferences, and spelling mistakes

Version 1.4.0 of GiFox is compatible with Bartender 3, we have updated the message shown for older versions of GiFox, letting them know if they update it will work.

Version 72 of PIA is compatible with Bartender 3, we have updated the message shown for older versions of PIA, letting them know if they update it will work.

Bartender was not checking to see if another version of Bartender may be running, this has been fixed.

With previous versions there was a bug that would effect setups with multiple screens (items out of position, showing as not working, slow transitions), this should now be fixed. We recommend restarting macOS after updating if you use multiple screens.

This now works.

Some users have been experiencing items not keeping their position (especially AirPlay Display), this version should improve on this, if not totally fix it, we are still working on getting this spot on.

Search would only search items with settings, this has been fixed.

We have 2 known bugs that we needed more logging in to investigate, bartender not removing the left menu when needed (to show all items), and apps not working with Bartender after a period of time on some systems, the extra logging is now in for these.

Previously we could not control the Apple Keychain item, this is now working.

This could happen if an app went from being sandboxed in previous versions, to not sandboxed in new versions, we now detect this and work with apps like this correctly

If an app removed a menu item in a specific way, Bartender would not detect this and would even bring it back into the menu bar, this is fixed.

Items would start migrating or jumping positions, 2 issues have been fixed that resolve this, please let us know if you still experience this.

Its possible for some apps to not work with Bartender until they are restarted once, this is now indicated in preferences when this happens. With instructions to restart the effected app.

If an item changed again while showing for updates, the display time was not being extended, this has been fixed.

"custome" instead of custom, thanks for reporting.

There was an issue with clearing hotkeys and setting them, this is now fixed.

Visual glitches where present on second screens in some setups, this has been fixed.

Bartender 3 now works correctly with Little Snitch.

If a menu item cannot be moved Bartender 3 will wait until its timeout to display the items, in this version we will start ignoring non controllable items after a certain number of attempts, at this point transitions will be faster.

Little Snitch being a security product by default disables GUI Scripting of itself (to prevent an app being able to disable it), Bartender 3 uses this to control the menu items, we do not want to bypass this control so instead have a message to users of Little Snitch letting them know what they can do: Enable GUI Scripting in Little Snitch, or set Little Snitch to "Always show in the menu bar"

If a menu item cannot be moved Bartender 3 will wait till its timeout to display the items, in this version we will start ignoring non controllable items after a certain number of attempts, at this point transitions will be faster.

Bartender 3 has been completely rewritten from the ground up in Swift using best practices to work with modern macOS, it also paves the way for many new features we have planned.
The biggest change is we no longer require a helper to be installed in menu item apps to control them. This means we no longer do anything that SIP (System Integrity Protection) is interested in and can work with any menu bar app including those with increased security (Such as Apple System items).
What this does now mean though is that Bartender is no longer able to display the Bartender Bar beneath the menu bar but instead displayed it in the main menu bar removing normally shown items to display the Bartender Bar items.

Full macOS High Sierra compatibility. We did consider calling it High Bartender but thought better of it.
