What is new

tCast 0.5.0 build 5: tCast now reopens by itself after an update and says the update installed. The show library is a real list: arrow through it, press Enter to open a show, and Escape keeps your place. Resume last show sits in the Tab order with Settings and Help. Device sync now matches the Mac and iPhone apps for follows, episodes, positions, played state and seasons, and the Sync window shows a QRTalker pairing code your iPhone can scan. If an earlier update loop fix turned off automatic updates and update notices, they're turned back on once.
