v0.9.40

MPCvibedRPC 0.9.40

No more leftover statuses; updates install themselves, and the icon shows when one is waiting.

Fixed

• A status that stayed on Discord after you closed the player. When Discord was busy and answered a status update
  late, the program took it for "not shown", so when you stopped watching it never took the status down, until the
  program quit. Now every update counts as shown until it is cleared, a clear Discord does not take is tried again at
  the next check, and while nothing plays the status is cleared again once a minute, so a missed clear cannot linger.
• A video paused at its very end (some players stay on the last frame) counts as finished: the status goes at
  once instead of showing "Paused" until the pause limit.

What's new

• Automatic updates (Windows and Linux). When a new version is out, the program installs it by itself as soon as
  nothing is playing and the settings window is closed, so a status on Discord is never cut off mid-episode. It
  restarts quietly in the tray and says once that it was updated. Every update is still checked against its checksum,
  and if the new version does not start, the old one keeps running. Switch it off under General > Updates > Install
  updates automatically; then the window and the tray notice offer the update as before.
• A red dot on the icon while an update waits: on the tray icon on Windows, and on the menu bar icon on macOS
  (where the window links to the new download).
• More frequent checks: every six hours instead of once a day, besides the check a few seconds after starting.

From this version on, updates arrive by themselves. Copies of an older version still show the update notice and
need one click on Install.

Get it

• Windows: download MPCvibedRPC.exe and run it, or install it from the Updates section of the version you
  have. Your settings are kept.
• macOS 13 or later: download MPCvibedRPC-macos.zip and move the app to Applications (the first time,
  System Settings > Privacy & Security > Open Anyway).
• Linux: download MPCvibedRPC-linux-amd64 (or -arm64), chmod +x it and run it.

Every system needs the Discord desktop app with User Settings > Activity Privacy > "Share my activity" on (Activity
Privacy is in the Games & Apps section, called Activity Settings in older Discord versions). To check a download, see
SECURITY.md.
