WuMgr v1.2.2

Summary

WuMgr v1.2.2 ships the maintained fork's WPF shell as the default UI while keeping the legacy WinForms UI available with -winforms.

Highlights

• WPF default UI with read-only non-admin launch and admin-only actions gated until elevation.
• Grouped active update lists inspired by Windows Update MiniTool, with category counts, collapsible groups, category-scoped selection, and no automatic skipping of drivers or preview updates.
• Restored action icons, compact toolbar, dark/light theme support, hidden idle progress strip, resizable status/log pane, and WPF startup/search/tray behavior improvements.
• Security hardening for named-pipe IPC ACLs, manual download filename sanitization, malformed -onclose arguments, manual installer exit handling, and command/process logging.
• Documentation refresh with WPF screenshots, usage notes, recovery docs, upstream issue/PR triage, and security review notes.

Compatibility

• Portable zip only; no installer.
• Unsigned binary; Windows may show SmartScreen or publisher warnings.
• .NET Framework 4.6.1 and the existing wumgr.exe command-line surface are unchanged.
• Legacy WinForms fallback remains available with -winforms.

WuMgr v1.2.0

WuMgr v1.2.0

This is the first maintenance release from the public Darkaxt/wumgr fork of DavidXanatos/wumgr.

Changes

• Added maintained-fork docs, SECURITY.md, build docs, option docs, and release packaging.
• Added GitHub Actions workflows for Windows build/test, CodeQL, and release packaging.
• Applied the PR DavidXanatos#114 Unicode INI fix consistently to read and write calls.
• Added a clean Visual Studio .gitignore and removed the tracked .csproj.user file from PR #48 scope.
• Cherry-picked safe typo cleanups from PR DavidXanatos#75 without importing its compile error.
• Reimplemented the PR #20 notification improvement by including pending update titles in the tray balloon text.
• Added focused regression tests for manual download planning.

Fixes

• Fixes issue DavidXanatos#145 class behavior: selected updates without usable download URLs now fail instead of reporting success.
• Manual install no longer starts when any selected update was skipped or any manual download failed.
• Cached update entries can re-resolve their live Windows Update object by UUID before install/hide operations, addressing stale-list behavior around issue DavidXanatos#117.
• Log output now has a copy context menu for issue DavidXanatos#146.
• Window size/position and update-list column widths are saved and restored for issues #5 and DavidXanatos#142.
• Translation.ini is now tracked and included in the portable zip for translation/release packaging issues DavidXanatos#90 and DavidXanatos#135.

Assets

• WuMgr_v1.2.0.zip: portable release zip.
• SHA256SUMS.txt: SHA256 checksums for the zip and packaged files.

Known limitations

• Binaries are unsigned in this release.
• Skip UAC remains a powerful local-administrator convenience feature; disable it if not needed.
• Tools.ini command hooks intentionally execute local user-configured commands from the application directory.
• Code/security scanning workflows are present; repository-level security scanning settings still need to be enabled in GitHub settings.
