ReStart v1.6.0

Added

• Guided portable updates: choose Download update, review the verified package, then Restart and update. Update checks remain API-key-free, and downloads and installation always require your action.
• About → Diagnostic information previews a report before you copy it. The report contains only versions, presentation mode, update status and classified error categories. It excludes names, local paths, app inventories, tile data, credentials and raw logs; nothing is uploaded automatically.

Reliability

• Verify package checksums, distribution inventories, individual file hashes, app versions and executable architecture before installation.
• Preserve saved settings and unrelated local files. Failed installation or candidate startup restores the previous distribution; interrupted transactions retain recovery information.
• Keep recovery prompts in the selected language and palette, and diagnostic feedback readable in narrow windows.
• Update all eight UI languages and READMEs, support instructions and website guidance.

Upgrading

If you are using v1.5.2 or earlier, exit ReStart and replace the complete portable package with this release. Keep TileHost, Examples, third-party and the new ReStart-package.json beside ReStart.exe.

The guided updater is available for subsequent updates from a complete, unmodified v1.6.0 package in a writable folder. Developer builds and older packages can still be updated manually. Local settings remain separate from the installation.

Download the x64 ZIP for Intel/AMD Windows PCs, or ARM64 for Windows on ARM. SHA-256 sidecars are included for both packages.
