New in Milton 1.2.2 (Jul 7, 2016)
- New features:
- Hardware cursor: Less perceived lag.

- Milton remembers when it was maximized.
- For the first 6 hours this release did not save files properly, this was fixed. Sorry!
- Problems with anti-virus There were complaints with the last couple of releases. Some people couldn't download the installer because Windows thinks it is a virus :(. It is not! There is a zip file in case you are having this issue, but hopefully it is gone now. Here is a link to virustotal.com examining this installer, whereas the previous one did have a false positive.
- If you can't download the installer (or you don't want to), download Milton_1.2.2_Standalone.zip.
- The next release will be mostly a performance release. There's a bunch of places where Milton needs to be faster for usability reasons.
New in Milton 1.2.1 (Jul 7, 2016)

- Milton didn't behave properly on displays smaller than the default window size. The new default behavior is to maximize.
