Keyboard Writer Helper v2.1

• Automatic updates. Half a minute after start, and then once a day, the app looks at the
  latest GitHub release. If there is no newer version it says nothing. If there is one, a
  tray notice appears; click it (or "Update to ..." in the tray menu) and the app downloads
  the new exe, checks its SHA-256 against the release's SHA256SUMS.txt, replaces itself
  and restarts. A download that does not match is thrown away.
• Tray menu: "Check for updates". Settings: turn the checks off.

Keyboard Writer Helper v1.10

• The tray icon now uses the new logo (rounded square, "Aa" and a check mark), in green when
  correcting, grey when paused and amber when the program in front is skipped.

Keyboard Writer Helper v1.9

1.9

• Keyboard hook watchdog. Windows can silently drop a keyboard hook, after which
  the app never sees another key and corrects nothing. If you have been typing or
  clicking but no key has reached the app for a few seconds, the hook is installed
  again. stats.txt shows how often this happened.
• New app icon and logo (assets/), also built into the exe.

1.8

• stats.txt now lists which programs' keys were ignored and why (excluded program,
  administrator window, full-screen window, password box), as counters only.
• Word, Excel, Outlook, browsers and other writing programs are no longer mistaken
  for full-screen games (Focus mode, F11).

1.7

• Built-in fixes from open misspelling data: Wikipedia lists of common misspellings,
  the Birkbeck corpus, Peter Norvig's data, LibreOffice AutoCorrect and the GitHub
  Typo Corpus. About 3,200 pairs, each checked against Windows' own spell checker and
  the app's tests. Credit and licences: THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md.
• tools/build_open_fixes.py rebuilds that list.

1.6

• More built-in fixes (hundreds of common misspellings), Windows phrases
  (windows defender) and more verbs for subject-verb agreement (it behave).
• Words that are not in the frequency list rank lower, so dehaves becomes behaves.
• its becomes it's in more places (its not, its a, its been).
• theres, whats, youre and similar contractions are fixed.

The portable build is KeyboardWriterHelper-net40.exe (no install; runs on any Windows 10/11). KeyboardWriterHelper-v1.9-net40.zip is the same with the readme. Checksums: SHA256SUMS.txt.
