HI!

We are glad to announce a new Heroic version. This one includes a lot of fixes, improvements and new features. It goes from adding support for Whisky GPTK on macOS, to UI improvements to the filters, auto installing of the Epic Overlay, automatic installation of fixes with Winetricks (enable this in Settings > Advanced > Experimental Features) and redistributables (for Epic games) which will increase the compatibility with several windows games on Linux and macOS. Fixes and issues on macOS when using Crossover with GOG and Amazon games, also add several improvements to the navigation when using the joystick. It is now possible to see the game release date and genres on the Game Page.

This and a lot more!
