Linesmith 4.4.0

Linesmith 4.4.0 adds automatic updates on Windows and Linux, plus a clearer Windows setup window.

• Automatic updates: New releases download in the background and install when you close the app. You can also choose Restart and install. Your settings, licence and projects are preserved.
• Your choice of version: In Settings → Updates, turn automatic updates off, stay on a specific version, or return to an available earlier release. Update downloads resume after interrupted connections and are checked against their SHA-256 checksums before installation.
• Windows setup window: First-run setup now shows each component, download progress, speed and remaining time in a native window, without opening a command window. Stop, retry and repair controls are available.
• FFmpeg downloads: Windows and Linux setup now use our Cloudflare download source first, with checksum verification and a fallback source if needed.
• Fixes: More reliable setup time estimates, corrected FFmpeg fallback handling, and clearer messages when an existing subtitle is already in the target language.

Updating from 4.3 or earlier: Download and run this release once to enable automatic updates. If you later return to a version before 4.4, upgrade manually from the website to get automatic updates again.

Downloads and SHA-256 checksums are attached below.
