v2.3.3

This release most noteworthy changes the appearance of the Nitrokey App2 by removing the theme included. Therefore now the theming and thus appearance will depend on the system theme. Please consider reading your distribution's guide on how to apply QT themes to flatpak applications, if this is not working out-of-the-box.

More Details

This release also includes builds for Mac both for ARM and Intel. As of now they are not signed, thus are not really (easy) installable on Macs. Furthermore updating devices does not work, but apart from that the other functionalities work fine. We are working on improving the situation for the next releases.
