TinyNvidiaUpdateChecker v1.16.0

[1.16.0] - 2023-01-21

This update migrated from the discontinued .NET Framework to .NET 7. TNUC will from this point forward require the .NET 7 Desktop Runtime x86. Windows versions below 10 are not supported by it. There might also be new bugs with this move so please report them if you find any. Thanks to .NET single file publish the false positive trojan is no longer an issue.

Added

• --config-override=<path> command line argument. <path> is absolute file path
• Support for local GPU metadata files gpu-data.json and os-data.json. They must be in the working directory, and used in special cases where GitHub is a blocked domain
• Added Scoop environment variable to list for possible 7-Zip installations, see #97

Changed

• Migrated from discontinued .NET Framework to .NET 7. TNUC will from this point forward require the .NET 7 Desktop Runtime x86

TinyNvidiaUpdateChecker v1.15.4

[1.15.4] - 2022-12-27

Happy new years everyone. Here is another minor update that wont change much for most people

Fixed

• Some GPUs such as 970M download URLs begin with HTTP and not HTTPS which broke the code. See issue #139

Changed

• Update regex to filter "COLLECTORS EDITION" GPUs. See issue #140

TinyNvidiaUpdateChecker v1.15.3

[1.15.3] - 2022-12-15

Merry Christmas! Here is a early gift from me.

Added

• DCH driver migration, if user currently has non-DCH drivers and operating system supports it. They were discontinued after version 472.12

Fixed

• Adjustment to GPU name to match metadata in nvidia-data repo for Super GPU variants

TinyNvidiaUpdateChecker v1.15.2

[1.15.2] - 2022-11-26

Fixed

• Some notebooks recognized as desktop

TinyNvidiaUpdateChecker v1.15.1

[1.15.1] - 2022-11-20

Fixed

• GPU metadata not found on GPUs with "Max-Q" in name, and "Super" GPU variants

Changed

• Reimplemented proper way of getting release PDF. If not found then the button will be greyed out

TinyNvidiaUpdateChecker v1.15.0

[1.15.0] - 2022-11-19

Changed

• Now querying NVIDIA API to properly get the latest GPU driver for your card. Much lower risk of code stopping to work if they change their website, URL format or whatever. Thanks to ZenitH-AT for his NVIDIA research and data repo. This new query code is based of his nvidia-update project. This also means that most GPUs are now supported. Still need to write code to get driver for GPUs that don't have a driver installed and named generic in device manager.
• Minor code cleanup
• No more DLLs needed with the executable, as they are now embedded

Removed

• Ditched HAP as it's no longer needed. DLLs will be packaged in the EXE for the future (such as JSON package)
• --ignore-missing-gpu command line argument. A replacement is coming in the future, it was removed because the old implementation would download drivers for GTX 970 (hardcoded)

TinyNvidiaUpdateChecker v1.14.7

[1.14.7] - 2022-11-06

Fixed

• NVIDIA changed their website code, breaking TNUC. I've fixed it for now but a complete rewrite is needed to use their API... See issue #114

Changed

• Bumped to .NET Framework 4.8

TinyNvidiaUpdateChecker v1.14.6

[1.14.6] - 2022-06-26

Fixed

• Non-DCH drivers are no longer supported by NVIDIA. So they are always opted to be installed. See issue #101

Changed

• Merged duplicate code, and improved driver download code (more improvements are needed)
• Updated HAP to 1.11.43
