SkyBanner 1.7.0

@TechBuilderAkash TechBuilderAkash released this 30 Oct 22:46

A clearer setup, a privacy policy, and a tidier About tab.

Setup now goes step by step: what it will do, the terms of use and the privacy policy, your options, then installing. You can start SkyBanner straight from the last step.
SkyBanner now has a privacy policy and terms of use. In short: no accounts, no ads, no analytics, and your reminders stay on your PC. Read them any time under About, or at https://github.com/TechBuilderAkash/skybanner-releases/blob/main/PRIVACY.md
About is tidier. The credits for the characters, and the licences of everything SkyBanner is built with, are now under About → Licences. Sending a plane from scripts (SkyBanner.exe --fly) works as before; it’s just no longer shown there.
Uninstalling now also removes downloaded updates and the copies of your settings kept before each update.
Already on 1.6.0 or later? SkyBanner offers this update by itself. On 1.5.0 or earlier, download SkyBanner-Setup.exe below and run it once.

A test update, to show SkyBanner updating itself.

Nothing else has changed since 1.6.0.
On 1.6.0, SkyBanner offers this update by itself within a day, or straight away from About → Check for updates.
On 1.5.0 or earlier, download SkyBanner-Setup.exe below, run it and click Update to 1.6.1. After that, updates arrive by themselves.

SkyBanner now keeps itself up to date.

  • Install this version once by hand: download SkyBanner-Setup.exe below, run it and click Update to 1.6.0. Your reminders, settings, character names, sign-in start and desktop shortcut stay as they are. If Windows SmartScreen says it doesn't recognise the app, choose More info, then Run anyway.
  • From now on, SkyBanner looks for a new version once a day. When one is out, a small window above the tray offers Update now or Later. Update now downloads it, checks it is genuine and restarts SkyBanner into it.
  • Every update is signed. SkyBanner refuses any download that doesn't match, and if a new version ever fails to start, it puts the previous one back by itself.
  • To turn the daily check off, untick Check for updates automatically in Settings → Behavior. To look straight away, use About → Check for updates.
