- dynamic update check period based on age of release, checks:
- every 3 hours within the first 24 hours after release
- daily within the first week,
- every other day during the first 21 days,
- weekly for the first 90 days
- and every 14 days after that
This change not only reduced network traffic, but also makes sure that a faulty release gets fixed in a timely manner.
- "turn off monitors on workstation lock" got improved. (#57)
It now waits 5 seconds before turning the monitors off and also continues to turn off the monitor if interrupted. - the calendar can now also be closed by pressing ESC (#62)
- improved Windows 10 calendar detection
- update checker supports UTF-8 now (time to use fancy smileys and stuff 🙃)
- fixed "skip version" not working for beta versions (#63)
- downgrading T-Clock from a newer version which converted some settings, is now possible without a bogus warning about settings loss.
- fixed portable mode being unable to convert/create the settings file with UTF-16 (thanks Dmytro)
- fixed crash on context menu calling on 32bit Vista+ (thanks a lot Dmytro)
P.S. v2.4.2 wasn't announced by the update checker, so feel free to look at the changes from v2.4.2 below.
