• Removed: Support checks for visual effects in the BOSS Log.
• Removed: The UTF8-CPP library as a build dependency.
• Removed: The MSVC 2013 Redistributable requirement, due to many reports from users encountering a variety of issues with it.

BOSS v2.2.0

Choose from the automated installer, or the manual install archive.

• Removed: The API, as better alternatives now exist.
• Removed: Program updater, as it was poorly implemented, specific to the Google Code repository, and of limited use.
• Removed: Proxy support, as it was reported to be non-functional, and it was decided that it wasn't worth retaining.
• Removed: Morrowind support, as it was only token support present so that the API could function uniformly across all the games it supported.
• Removed: The "Hide Clean Plugins" BOSS Log filter, as it was misleading.
• Removed: The "Display Settings" BOSS Log feature, as the CSS used by the BOSS Logs is now stored in a separate static file which can be edited if desired.
