Version 1.9

Lessons Learned for the 6th Time:
- Don't ship apps built with beta versions of Xcode.
- We really suck at learning things the first five times.

Version 1.1
5 July 2017 — Build 117
This is the initial public release of Muzzle!
The Origin Story:
Muzzle was born in a group iMessage thread. See, Brian was screensharing with a client when Josh sent him a message about that client, which macOS delightfully showed...to the client. Bad times were had by all. But Brian and Josh knew a Mac developer. And that Mac developer had a working build of Muzzle in their hands five hours later.
Fixed:
- An issue where the app always thought there was an update available.
- An issue where the "start at login" option did not work.
New:
- The app now remembers what state Do Not Disturb was in before screensharing started and restores that state when it ends.
- This means that if DND is ON when you start screensharing, Muzzle won't turn it off when sharing ends.
Version 1.0
20 June 2017 — Build 57
This was the initial beta release of Muzzle. It went out to a few good friends who were willing to risk their Macs with a new, untested app.
