System Menu Convenience and iAddressX:
From the first release of Macintosh computers, the main menu bar, also called the system menu, has been a central Mac navigational feature. iAddressX has now returned to the Mac system menu as a status item, allowing easy access to almost everything related to contacts from hierarchical menus.

Dial iPhone:
* Dial using Facetime, iPhone, Skype or an old-fashioned landline

Navigate Contacts:
* Navigate contacts from a small icon in the system menu and access many contact options

Dymo Support:
* Print to your Dymo Label printer right from iAddressX

Search:
* Search your contacts directly from the menu bar

Skype:
* Initiate a call or chat using Skype
* Send SMS messages to Skype pals

Maps:
* View any contact's location on Apple or Google Maps

A Brief History of iAddressX:
Tropical Software President James Lee explains the return of iAddressX: "iAddressX was developed by Michael Balle-Pedersen, a Software Engineer at Apple Inc. Before he worked at Apple, Michael released versions running in macOS 10.3 and 10.4. I discovered iAddressX languishing after Michael went to work for Apple and we were able to acquire iAddressX. We immediately developed a version that ran under macOS 10.5 (Leopard) that is still available. Thanks to help from many friends, we were able to get iAddressX working in macOS 10.7 through 10.15. In-house expert Lewis Garrett put the final touches on this release."

iAddressX 4 has the following changes:

New Features:
* iAddressX is now a 64-bit App only (Do not install this update if your system is 32-bit only)
* Added Preferences option to Dial iPhone using Apple's "FaceTime" dialing options
* Maps feature that allows selecting Apple or Google Maps of a contact address
* Changes required by macOS 10.15 (Catalina)

Changed Features:
* Include build number in version string displayed in About
* Modify Dial menu command to include the Dialing method
* Change "Map Of using:" Menu command default selection to "Apple Maps"
* Change Dialing default from "Speaker" to "FaceTime via iPhone"
* Moved Preferences "About" tab to be first (leftmost) tab
* Changed "Start iAddressX upon login" preference setting checkbox to unchecked

Fixed:
* "View Read Me" menu command appeared not to be working because its window was obscured by other windows. The ReadMe.rtf window will now be forced to the front
* Corrected misspelling in "Display Order:" menu item
* Improved display of menu bar iAddressX @ icon when Appearance is Dark Mode
* "View Read Me" menu command, when Appearance is set to "Dark Mode", displayed Read Me too dark to read
