What’s New

• New Search and Navigation Interface – The search and navigation interface was completely redesigned to be more intuitive and fast
• New Search Result Sorting and Nesting – Search result sorting and nesting were completely rethought and redone. The order of docsets in Preferences > Docsets or in your search profile will now matter a lot more, while also keeping your results uncluttered
• New Browser Engine – Dash 5 uses WKWebView, the latest browser engine from Apple. Supporting WKWebView required rewriting a huge part of Dash, some of which to JavaScript, so please make sure to report any bugs you might encounter, no matter how small
• Improved Dark Mode – The dark documentation style will now preserve colors instead of inverting them
• New Snippet Navigation – Snippets can now be bookmarked and are part of the navigation history. Don’t like snippets? You can now completely disable them
• New Support System – The in-app Contact Support option is now powered by replies.io, which makes it easier to improve your support request with screenshots, videos and logs, significantly reducing the time needed for your issue to be resolved
• Lots of Small Improvements – New in-page find interface and result highlighting, new status bar, faster search and a lot more are waiting for you in Dash 5
