pitr-config 1.2.0

The tool now tells you when a newer version is out.

Download pitr-config.cmd below — that single file is still the whole tool. No installation,
no dependencies. Double-click it; it requests administrator rights itself.

Update check. On start the tool asks GitHub whether a newer release exists. If one does,
the window shows a line with a link to it, in whichever of the five languages you are using.
The check runs in the background, so the window stays responsive, and it fails silently — no
network, a firewall, or a rate limit simply means no notice appears.

Nothing is downloaded or installed automatically, by design. A tool that writes to HKLM
has no business replacing its own code over the network, and doing so would make the
checksums below pointless. The notice is a link; the decision stays with you.

This is also the only network connection the tool makes. The request reveals nothing about
your system beyond what any web request does — an IP address and a pitr-config user agent.
To skip the check entirely, start it as:

pitr-config.cmd noupdate

That argument is passed on across the UAC prompt, which starts a new process that would
otherwise lose it.

Unchanged: the settings themselves, the five languages (EN DE FR ES PT), and the three
things worth knowing — restore points are only created while the system is idle, only the
Windows drive is covered, and the configuration values are undocumented by Microsoft.
