 ## [Unreleased]
 
 ### Added
-- Added NSPanel support for macOS. Panels serve as auxillary windows and can appear over fullscreen apps without activating the application using `NSWindowStyleMaskNonactivatingPanel`. Configure via `Mac.WindowClass` and `Mac.PanelOptions` in window options. Added by [@Grantmartin2002](https://github.com/Grantmartin2002) in [PR](https://github.com/wailsapp/wails/pull/5024)
