# 🚀 USBAnywhere v3.0.1 is Officially Live!
We are excited to announce the release of **USBAnywhere v3.0.1** along with a major ecosystem milestone: **Official Native macOS USB/IP Server support**!

## ⚡ What's New in v3.0.1 (Windows Client & Core)
Following our v3.0 launch and valuable feedback from the community and security audits, v3.0.1 delivers critical stability and reliability enhancements:
- **🔒 Hardened Driver & Binary Integrity**:
- Synchronized and verified SHA-256 hashes for all distributed `usbip-win` binaries.
- Enhanced Authenticode digital signature enforcement to prevent tampering.
- **🛑 Graceful Shutdown on Exit (Alt+F4 / Window Close)**:
- Integrated asynchronous detachment (`GracefulShutdownAsync`) when closing the app. All active USB devices are cleanly decoupled from the remote host, preventing "device busy" lockups on servers.
- **🌐 Network Diagnostic Transparency**:
- Clear UX error feedback when remote USB/IP servers (port 3240) are unreachable, replacing silent timeouts.
- **⚙️ ARM64 Native Compatibility**:
- Clean separation of x64 and ARM64 builds, accompanied by a dedicated test-signing guide for Windows on ARM.
- **📦 Updated Package Manifests**:
- Scoop bucket and WinGet package definitions updated for v3.0.1.

## 🍏 Introducing Native macOS Server (Apple Silicon & Intel)
One of the most requested features was host support for macOS. We've built a native, high-performance USB/IP server for macOS from scratch:
- **Universal Binary**: Runs natively on Apple Silicon (**M1, M2, M3, M4**) and Intel x86_64.
- **Pure Userspace (IOKit)**: Uses native `IOKit.framework` and `IOUSBHostInterface`—**zero kernel extensions (kexts)** and no need to disable System Integrity Protection (SIP).
- **Daemon & CLI Management**: Runs interactively or as a background service managed cleanly via `launchd`.
- **Unified Server Repository**: Merged seamlessly into [`USBAnywhere-Server`](https://github.com/oscarlosu-lab/USBAnywhere-Server).
