Version 1.2.3 (Latest) - December 6, 2025

"Auto-Update System Overhaul"

✨ New Features

  • Automatic Application Restart: Update installer now automatically relaunches the application after successful update
  • PowerShell-Based Installer: Replaced batch script with PowerShell for more reliable process management
  • Consistent Filename: Application always uses CockatriceAssistant.exe (shortcuts never break)
    • GitHub releases still use versioned names (e.g., CockatriceAssistant-v1.2.3.exe)
    • Installer renames to consistent filename during installation

🔧 Improvements

  • No More Python DLL Errors: PowerShell script properly launches PyInstaller executables
  • Industry-Standard Update Flow: Follows common indie application update patterns
  • Better User Experience: Automatic restart after update - no manual intervention needed
  • Improved Reliability: More robust process detection and file handling
  • Visual Feedback: Color-coded PowerShell console shows clear update progress

🐛 Bug Fixes

  • Relaunch Issues: Fixed Python DLL errors when trying to restart application after update
  • Shortcut Preservation: User shortcuts and taskbar pins remain functional after updates
