StreamLite 2.2.2
- Updates while StreamLite keeps running: StreamLite checks again every 6 hours, not only when it starts, because
most PCs sleep instead of restarting. Updates install only at a quiet moment: when no app is recording your mic
and no game sound is playing, so a call or a match is never cut off. Until then Settings says the update is
ready. Linux packages (.deb/.rpm) that need your password just tell you instead of prompting out of the blue. - After an update, StreamLite restarts through its "Run as administrator" task when it has one, just like a normal
start. StreamLite.exe --quitasks a running StreamLite to quit cleanly (it puts your sound devices back first), even when
it runs as administrator.status.txtand Copy details now also work when the noise engine is RNNoise.
