Timthreetwelve/WUView v0.7.0

v0.7.0 - .NET 10

on GitHub

After an unexpectedly long hiatus, I am happy to announce that Windows Update Viewer 0.7.0 is now available! This release includes a major update to .NET 10, improved performance, a new feature to check for updates, a new translation, and performance improvements.

Changes: 👀

• New: Windows Update Viewer has been updated to .NET 10.

  • .NET 10 is now required to run the non-self-contained versions of Windows Update Viewer.
  • The self-contained versions include the .NET runtime, so they do not require .NET 10 to be installed on the system.
  • .NET 10 is a long-term support (LTS) release and will be supported until November 14, 2028.
  • Some code changes were required to take advantage of improvements in .NET 10 and C# 14.

• New: The first time the About page is opened, the application will check to see if there is an updated version available.

  • If a newer version is available, A newer release is available will be displayed in place of the Check GitHub for a newer release text. No annoying pop-ups.
  • Clicking on the text will open the GitHub release page in the default browser.
  • This feature is optional and can be disabled in the Application Settings section of the Settings page.

• New: Japanese translation has been added, thanks to @coolvito #109.

  • My apologies for the long delay in getting your contribution into a release.

• Updated: Performance improvements when loading and displaying updates.

  • Collecting Event Log and Windows Update records should be faster.
  • Thanks to @Dicksevenfourteen for collecting data for me.

• Updated: Inno Setup has been updated to version 6.7.1.

  • Installation dialog theme has been updated to match the system theme.
  • Please let me know if you see any issues with the installer dialog.

• Translation updates:

  • Updated: Italian language updates by @bovirus
  • Updated: Korean language updates by @VenusGirl
  • Updated: Dutch language updates by @CMTriX
  • My apologies for the long delay in getting your updates into a release.

  • Updated: Bumped Vanara.PInvoke.User32 to version 5.0.4

Since GitHub is now including the file size and sha256 hashes in the download links, so I have removed them from the table below. For those that want to verify the files on VirusTotal, use the sha256 hashes provided by GitHub.
