The release contains a couple of changes that may improve the application's start up time:
- The versions json array, downloaded from this repository is now compressed.
- The tasks that download the versions and query the computers installed packages are now run in parallel.
Other changes include:
- The self contained .Net version is now 9.0
- Numerous small code improvements.
Edit: I've replaced the self extracting exe files with zip archives. Windows Defender falsely identified them as containing trojans when the file had the zone identifier alternate stream indicating that the exe was downloaded (local published builds work fine).
