v1.3.0.0

Note

This utility is now stable. Future changes to the parent application will result in updates, but this utility should not need any additional major updates. It has everything it should have, including enough intelligent code to understand where Mobaxterm is installed, and needs very little interaction from the user. Maybe a few more language entries need to be registered, but overall, it's stable and it works.

What's New

• Update notification integration to help assist users with getting the latest copy of the patch when core software changes.
  • This feature does not store or transmit any data from the user.
  • Simply checks the current version of the software and compares it to the manifest file located at https://github.com/Aetherinox/MobaXtermKeygen/blob/master/Manifest/manifest.json
  • If user has no internet, it skips. Not required.
  • User must manually download newest update, no self-installation added -- too intrusive
• Updated core license generation command-line
  • Fixed bug with non-float version values throwing error
  • Version bump to 23.6
  • Updated to work with Python 3.12.1
• Add priority to notifications to ensure user sees them and they don't dip behind interface
• Added --debug startup argument
• Added logging system in the event of user errors and being able to diagnose this utilities functionality
• Optimizations:
  • Combined Powershell queries to utilize individual method
  • Interface now caches controls before loading them for more smooth interaction
• Fixed bug in interface which caused it to not paint the background once minimized and brought back
• App now gets cert and gpg IDs from Github manifest

Notes

The update notification was recommended by two users. It seems like a useful feature, however, that's as far as I want to take it. Users should be able to download updates from Github on their own. I don't like software that starts doing things automatically, especially when I have a setup that I like and it works fine on its own.

The other option if people want to be informed of updates is to star this repo. I'm big on privacy, and I don't want the software doing anything weird, especially collecting data.

I also added a little icon that will appear in the menu next to Updates when there is an update, so I'm not even sure if the notification box is something to stay. It's relatively easy to just click on the menu and see if there's an icon or not. Or maybe throw a message in the status bar.
