Alpha Release 9.2.3 (Suhail)

[<bde...@or...>]

Hi all,

I'm pleased to announce the release of a new version of Alpha. This is Alpha 9.2.3 ("Suhail <https://alphacocoa.sourceforge.io/AlphaStar.html>") for Mac OS X 10.11 or greater (El Capitan, Sierra, High Sierra, Mojave, Catalina, Big Sur). 

All versions of Alpha are named after a star. So, for this new release, meet Suhail <https://alphacocoa.sourceforge.io/AlphaStar.html>, which is λ Velorum, the λ star of the Vela constellation. 

Beware: the Maverick (10.9) and Yosemite (10.10) versions of OS X are no longer supported. The latest version of Alpha running on these two systems is 9.0.3. 

See at the end of this message, the main changes contained in this new release. 

Please, read the release notes which will be displayed the first time you launch Alpha and can be accessed later from the Help ↣ Developer Help menu.

If you find problems with the application, don't hesitate to post bug reports. They are essential to keep track of the deficiencies. See Alpha's Bug Tracker <https://sourceforge.net/p/alphacocoa/tickets/>. 

Thank you for using Alpha.
