Release 5.11.0
+This release includes a number of new features and improvements, including a new Beta Update Track for testing future updates, enhanced context menus for text entry fields and UI elements, a revamp to the existing translation system and logging capabilities, and more. This release includes the Python Image Library (PIL) into our core bundle, adds a number of stability and configuration checks to the tool, and adds new schemas and configuration values to senders.
+This release also includes a number of bug fixes, performance enhancements, and updates to various aspects of the code to enhance maintainability are included. Notably, MacOS support has been removed due to a lack of support for this OS in Elite, and a number of functions have been deprecated and will be removed in later versions. Plugin developers, take note!
