- The Universal download should work for all users. Or you can use the Intel/Apple Silicon downloads for a smaller download/install size if you know which one your Mac has.
- NAPS2 on Mac bundles SANE drivers for USB scanners, allowing supported scanners to be used even on new M1/M2 Macs (which normally wouldn't work without manufacturer-provided drivers)
- Added native Linux support
- Requires Flatpak for installation (https://flatpak.org/setup/)
- Mono is no longer required
- The UI should now feel like a native Linux app
- Much better performance and reliability
- TWAIN support has been reworked

- TWAIN should also now support scanning larger images (e.g. 1200dpi) without out-of-memory issues
- Upgraded Tesseract to 5.2.0 for OCR

- Tesseract is now bundled with the NAPS2 download, so no extra download is required (though you still need to download language data if you don't already have it).
- PDF import and export have been rewritten to leverage Pdfium
- This means better support for importing different kinds of PDFs
- In some cases this means much faster import/export
- Pdfium is bundled with the NAPS2 download so there is no longer an extra download needed to import non-NAPS2 PDFs
- New Crop UI
- Minor tweaks to blank page detection
- Image list tweaks
- Selected images appear with just a blue border
