CheevoPresence v1.4.0

[denzi-gh]

This release adds a new Total Playtime timer for Discord and fixes all three open bugs, including a macOS crash and the wrong Hardcore/Softcore display.

Show Total Playtime on Rich Presence

Discord's little green timer normally just counts how long the app has been running. CheevoPresence can now seed it with your total RetroAchievements playtime for the game you are playing. This option is on by default and can be toggled off under Behaviour -> "Show total playtime" if you prefer the classic session timer.

Bugfixes

• Fixed an issue where the Settings window instantly crashed on newer macOS versions the moment you opened it ([Bug]: Crashing on opening the settings or try to connect on MacOS #61).
• Fixed an issue where the presence showed the wrong Hardcore/Softcore mode ([Bug]: Rich Presence shows wrong Mode #62) A single first Softcore unlock would lock you into Softcore on the Presence forever in that game. The presence now displays the Mode from your last unlocks.
• Fixed an issue where Windows Defender flagged CheevoPresence as malware ([Bug]: Windows Defender flagging this. #60). The root cause was the way the updater cleans itself afterwards.
• Fixed an issue where enabling "Start on boot" could fail on fresh Windows installs because the autostart registry key didn't exist yet. CheevoPresence now creates it itself.

Under the hood

• CheevoPresence now makes three times less API calls per update (from 3 to 1).
• Every release has now more tests that catch actual crashes on Windows/Linux/macOS because it was the case more often than not.

!!! Info regarding the macOS users: I don't have a dev certificate, so the app will not open, you will need to click Done, then go to your Mac Settings then Privacy & Settings and allow the app to open by clicking Open Anyway. !!!
