v1.0 Beta 6

If you are having issues updating to this release from the updater, click here to view and download this update on GitHub.

A smaller (in terms of features) beta update this time around, with many updater fixes and a new config option for advanced users!

Summary of changes since v1.0 Beta 5:

• Add a new config option: FanMode
  • This is an advanced option that should only be changed if you know what you're doing.
  • This setting has undefined behaviour if both of the below are true:
    • The fan profile is set to anything other than Default
    • The fan mode is set to anything other than Advanced
  • Not all of the options provided may work as intended on all laptops
  • This change is backward compatible with existing configs (they will continue to use the old RegConf method of setting the correct fan mode)
• New updater features:
  • Updated version check method to differentiate between old, up-to-date, and newer/development versions.
  • Add option to force re-install the latest release if running the latest version or running a development version
  • Link to the corresponding GitHub release when showing a changelog
  • Add possible solutions to the update check error messages
• Several updater bug fixes:
  • Fix two crashes when the updater asks for UAC permission (to toggle automatic update cheks and while installing an update)
  • Fix background update check not working at all (would always return "up to date", even when checking manually returned "update available")
  • Disable bottom row of buttons while downloading and installing an update (this prevents someone from trying to start an update again after it's already in progress)
  • Fix broken "bytes remaining" text while downloading an update (including duplicated "bytes" text and incorrect unit rounding)
  • Fix the auto-update task not being removed when uninstalling YAMDCC
  • Several tweaks and internal changes

This will probably be the last feature update of YAMDCC before v1.0 is released, so keep reporting any bugs you find to the issue tracker, but keep in mind your feature request will most likely be added to v1.1 instead.
