Notes (This project is celebrating its 6th year. So, nothing better than a major update release.)
- It's the first release implementing the CI/CD pipelines to publish the app to Chocolatey, Scoop, and Winget. So, there may be a delay in being available on these package managers.
- If you find this app helpful, please consider donating. Your donation helps keep the project alive, optimized, and free for everyone.
- If you run the app with command-line arguments (no GUI), check the modified memory area parameter names.
- Many contributors often provide translation updates, as some texts might not be in the best format due to frequent translation revisions. After we introduce the CI/CD workflows, we expect to publish releases more often to update minor corrections quickly. We now use the 'major.minor.patch' format for the app version, which will allow us to launch patch releases for localizations.
- We prioritize transparency and user safety. Since version 3.0.0, we have been digitally signing our files through SignPath.io using a free certificate provided under the SignPath Terms of Use. The project received the certificate in recognition of its popularity and public value in the open-source community. This process ensures that we distribute authentic files that have not been tampered with. By doing this, we will build trust with Microsoft Defender SmartScreen over time, and maybe someday we will obliterate that "Windows protected your PC" warning.
