WinSpeed 1.0.4

Changed

• Internal only: added automated tests for unit formatting, settings loading, hotkey parsing and usage history, and CI now runs them. The app itself is unchanged.

WinSpeed 1.0.3

Fixed

• A failed update check (for example while offline) no longer counts as done for the day; WinSpeed tries again on the next check.
• An out-of-range value in a hand-edited settings file (such as a negative data cap or an unknown display mode) is replaced with the default instead of causing odd behaviour.
• A hotkey entered as a bare number in settings.ini is rejected instead of being registered as an unrelated key.
• No update-check notification or dialog is attempted while WinSpeed is closing.

WinSpeed 1.0.2

Fixed

• The meter no longer draws on top of other apps' taskbar widgets or newly added tray items; it moves aside to make room.
• The meter no longer shows through windows that are stacked above the taskbar (an app dragged over it, a topmost tool); it hides until they move away.
• The meter now follows taskbar layout changes within a fraction of a second instead of waiting for the next speed sample.

WinSpeed 1.0.1

Fixed

• The meter no longer blinks off and back on when you open the tray's hidden-icons menu (^), click the taskbar, or open Start, search or the calendar.

Changed

• Runs on every Windows 10 release from version 1607 and on all of Windows 11 with nothing to install. WinSpeed now needs only .NET Framework 4.6.2, which these versions include, and it is still a single exe with no extra DLLs. On the rare system without it, setup explains what to install instead of failing to start.
