v1.4.2
About this version
This release contains various enhancements and bug fixes.
The major new features are the ability to connect/disconnect your displays directly from the app, and EDID override support for Apple Silicon Macs (finally!).
The first feature let's you easily choose which display to be on in a multi-monitor setup without touching the cables, closing the lid or fiddling with the power buttons of your display. The second feature allows you to change the display modes and other parameters of your display by exporting the display's EDID descriptor via the app, editing it with a free app like AW EDID Editor and then applying the new EDID file to your display using the app. This was possible on Intel before but now it is available for the first time on Apple Silicon as well. You can find this feature under Settings/Displays/Custom display EDID. EDID override works a bit differently on Apple Silicon Macs compared to Intel Macs - you can change the EDID on the fly - so it's easy to experiment - and can also apply the EDID override to take effect automatically on app start.
Both of these major new features are Pro features, require Apple Silicon running macOS Ventura. In addition to these the release has a lot of minor improvements and free stuff.
The list of changes compared to the previous stable version is the following:

v1.4.0-beta
About this version
This beta release (first of the v1.4.x dev cycle) contains the initial implementation of a new experimental feature - display connection management for Apple Silicon Macs. This feature lets you turn off and on both your internal and external displays from the app menu. Turning off a display removes it from the display layout completely and puts it to sleep while turning back on powers the display on and adds it back to the display layout.
Warning: the feature is experimental and not tested on all possible configurations - risks may be involved! I welcome your feedback both in the GitHub Issues section and the BetterDisplay Discord channel!
You can fine-tune the feature under Settings/Advanced. Turning the displays on/off can be done from the app menu (Disconnect Display and Connect Display). You can also configure keyboard shortcuts (Settings > Keyboard) to turn on/off displays or use the Tools > Manage Displays menu to connect and disconnect all displays.
The app is trying to make sure you don't end up with all displays disconnected (unless you deliberately modify safety settings), but if something goes wrong you can always simply power off/on your external display manually to force them to be reconnected or close/open your MacBook lid to bring the built-in display back.
The connection management feature is only available for Apple Silicon Macs at this time and requires a Pro license.
