Thanks to everyone for your valuable feedback and suggestions, helping Zipic evolve! 🙌

✨ New Features

• JPEG Compression Engine Enhanced — Fine-tuned compression parameters with a brand-new pipeline for better results and faster processing.
• PNG Compression Engine Enhanced — Brand-new in-house engine delivers faster compression at comparable quality, with added APNG animated image support (Pro).
• SVG Compression — Optimize SVG files with 6 compression levels, from conservative to maximum; comparison view renders SVGs as live vectors (Pro).
• Enhanced PDF Compression — New Ghostscript engine delivers dramatically better PDF compression with font and stream optimization; encrypted PDFs are detected with a friendly prompt (Pro).
• Smart Skip for Compressed Files — Automatically recognizes previously compressed files to avoid redundant processing; re-compresses when settings change or files are modified.
• Quick Preset Switching on Drop — Hold ⌥ (Option) while dragging files to the main window or notch area to quickly choose a different compression preset.
• Debug Mode — Tap the app icon 5 times in the License view to activate; easily export runtime logs for troubleshooting.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Fixed JPEG compression causing thin lines to split and produce ringing artifacts.

🚀 Other Improvements

• Better Color Fidelity — Wide color gamut (Display P3) images are no longer downgraded to sRGB, preserving accurate colors.
• HDR-Safe Processing — HDR photos retain their high dynamic range data during compression.
• ICC Profile Preservation — WebP, AVIF, TIFF and other formats now preserve original color profiles for consistent color reproduction.
• Improved Dependency Installation — External tool installation now uses an in-app guided window with download progress and automatic retry.
• File monitoring deduplication is more reliable, eliminating potential runaway list growth.
