2.1.1

This is a bug fix release that fixes the top 5 most common crashes and issues in version 2.1.0.

  • Improvement Saves recipes automatically after import. See issue #634.
  • Improvement Removes the transparency animation when dragging windows. Transparency now happens instantly. This was linked to the transparency being stuck. See issue #643.
  • Bug Fix inconsistent window argument editor. See issue #639.
  • Bug Fix crash when cancelling region change on multiple monitors. See issue #635.
  • Bug Fix unknown server error when validating license keys. This was caused by missing padding characters in the license keys, because when double-clicking a long string and copying it, Windows would not highlight the trailing padding characters.
  • Bug No longer allow MaxTo to subclass child windows. This affected e.g. MikroTik WinBox child windows causing crashes.
  • Bug Fix Chromium-based browsers being "restored" when exiting full-screen video. See issue #640.
  • Bug Fix NullReferenceException when starting de-elevated process.
  • Bug Fix ArgumentException when adding hotkeys during startup.
  • Bug Fix a crash that could occur when connecting to a machine via remote desktop.
  • Bug Configuration was automatically reset to default if it was unreadable or invalid JSON. Now it presents a dialog box instead.
