Updating no longer floods you with notifications.

Fixed

Updating fired a Windows notification for every percent of the download — ten a second, each with its sound. Progress now goes to the Settings page's status line and the tray icon's hover text ("SidebarMonitor — Descargando… 42%"), silently. Notifications are kept for what is worth an interruption, once each: the download starting, a new version (once per version, not on every check that finds it), and a failure. A manual check no longer notifies "you're up to date" on top of the page saying it.

Clicking any notification could start an update. The click handler meant for the "new version available" notice stayed attached to every notification after it, so clicking a temperature alert, or the "Descargando…" notice itself, started an update. Only the update offer does now.

Updating to 1.5.14 is still done by the version you have now, so this one last download may still show the notifications; from 1.5.14 on they're gone.


Two installers as before: SidebarMonitor-1.5.14.msi bundles the AMD Ryzen Master Monitoring SDK; SidebarMonitor-lite-1.5.14.msi leaves AMD's binaries out.
