v4.0.26.0

Changes in this release:

This is the first release for dnGrep running on .NET 7

You should see significantly faster searches. The features and functionality should match release 3.2.330, with the addition of the issues fixed below. This release is supported only on Windows 10 and Windows 11.

Both the msi and zip packages are self-contained, which means they include the .NET runtime with the application. The portable (zip) builds need to be self-contained, so nothing needs to be installed on the system. Making the msi packages also self-contained means there doesn't need to separate builds for msi and zip, and the user doesn't need to install the .NET runtime separately. dnGrep will be updated when Microsoft issues security patches for .NET. This release contains the .NET v7.0.7 runtime.

#867 Hide Bookmarks Window: fixed error when Bookmarks window is closed using the titlebar 'X' or alt+F4.

#871 Update version check: changed the version check to ignore prereleases.

#872 Finding file names in archives: fixed a bug in the code matching file names in archives.

One additional performance enhancement has been added since 4.0.8-rc1 for text searches. Thank-you to @yyjdelete for finding it.

The \Plugins\PDFSearch directory has been reorganized to put the XPDF files and pdftotext.exe in a subdirectory. This will make it easier for users to add additional language packs for processing PDF files.

Updated Translations The Serbian and Italian translations were updated - thanks to the translators: @majkinetor and @sandman91

Many of the translations still need help to complete them. You are welcome and encouraged to complete or improve any of the existing translations, see Translate dnGrep for more information. Do as much or as little as you like. If you do not want to use Weblate for translations, I will take input in any format and merge the changes. Send me a note in the issues or discussions page.
