What's new in v0.3.11

🔑 More reliable license checks

• Lifetime licenses are never suspended because of network problems. If the license server cannot be reached (offline, VPN, corporate proxy), your lifetime license stays active. It is only removed if the server says it was refunded, disabled or moved to another machine.
• Checks are retried automatically. A check that fails is tried again a few seconds later, then in the background after 1, 5 and 15 minutes, then every hour, so a VPN that reconnects is enough.
• "Retry verification" in Settings → License. When the license could not be verified for a while, a short note at the top of Settings points to it. The License tab shows the last verification date, a "Retry verification" button and a shortcut to the connection test. Retrying never uses another activation.
• Typing your key again no longer uses an activation when your license was only suspended: S3 Explorer checks your existing activation first.

Subscriptions keep their 35-day offline period.

🌍 Your system's language, from the first launch

On a new install, S3 Explorer starts in your system's language when it is one of the 10 available languages (English, Chinese, Hindi, Spanish, French, Arabic, Bengali, Portuguese, Indonesian, Romanian), and in English otherwise. Until you choose a language in Settings → Language, it follows your system's language when you change it. Existing installs keep their current language.

☁️ France Nuage

France Nuage, S3-compatible object storage hosted in France, is now in the provider list: pick it when adding a connection and the endpoint is filled in for you.

📊 Anonymous usage statistics

When anonymous statistics are enabled, failed license checks now report the kind of network problem (for example a timeout or a proxy refusing the connection) and whether a proxy is used, never its address. This helps fix connection problems on corporate networks.
