Changes:

• Fixed bug where the deflector was not using the user's preferred browser
• Fixed bug that stopped the user from using website results from the right pane of the search window (#63)
• Improved handling of loading registry values, now will use defaults for each entry
• Improved auto-generated issue messages

There were many changes under the hood that should increase both performance and reliability. About 50% of the code in this release is completely new.

This pre-release contains a few bug fixes and one small change.

Changes:

• Fixed missing language files from previous installer
• Fixed empty search engine URL on first launch (now dumps Google to registry by default)
• Fixed a bug where an empty browser window would be launched by the deflector when a valid search is made
• Allowed pinning of the icon to the Start Menu

Known bugs:

• Deflector is not launching the user's preferred browser, but the "Website" button is. Currently investigating.

I have added a Microsoft Store package to this release that should work.

I sincerely apologize if the last update broke for the last few hundred users that downloaded it. This should fix the issues, and it should be automatic within a few days.

Changes:

• Added support for language translations (please contribute by translating this file)
• Added a page for Language option and interface reorganization

Notes:

• Thank you @linjiayinchn for the zn-CN, zn-HK, and zn-TW translations!
• The code is very very messy now. It's time for some housekeeping, hence why this is a pre-release
• Expect bugs and decreased stability
• Not all error messages and warnings have been translated. This will be coming in the future
• No MS Store package yet

I know this update is a day later than promised, unfortunately life got in the way.

Changes:

• Improved handling of browser arguments (internal)
• Improve default browser determination (internal)
• Fixed potential bug with non-default browsers
• Added new option for launching Chrome and Firefox with specific profile directories
• Added Qwant search engine offline

Other:

• Updated libcurl to 7.68.0
• Compiled with most recent MSVC and LDC versions (1.22.0)

Future changes:

• Enable profile directories to be used with the system default browser
• Validate or enable/disable profile directories based on selected browser and/or current system default

Changes:

• Fixed prompt asking for donation on free version (it wasn't compiled in 1.1.5 for deflector.exe)
• Increased frequency of the prompt to every 25 searches after the first 10 because most people would have never seen it otherwise
• Add a command to disable the prompt, can be seen on the prompt itself
• Compiled with LDC 1.20.0 and MSVC 2019 x86

Notice:
The Microsoft Store package (*.appx) isn't uploaded here because there is no difference in functionality. Later versions will have an updated package if there are feature differences.

The Store package can be downloaded from the previous release (1.1.5).

Changes:

• Fixed broken Dictionary.com template URL.
• Added Baidu, Yandex, Amazon, and YouTube to search engine templates.
• Reintroduced engines.txt to the installation directory, this is editable.
• Added a feature to grab engine templates from online and merge with the new local source.
• Deprecated the FreeVersion registry flag and instead determine behavior by the compile flag.
• Updated libcurl.
• Fixed libcurl missing when update module is deselected with classic installer.

Changes:

• Update minigui to Adam's upstream to fix missing scroll bars on drop-down lists (fixes #52)

This release's changes are mostly under the hood.

Changes:

• The interface now loads faster.
• The API request for the update information is deferred until you click that tab, so the values will be blank for a short period.
• Now can be compiled for the Microsoft Store, the tabs are hidden entirely and only the settings page is visible.

Changes:

• Combine updater and configure into a single interface
• Add a close button in a row with apply and website buttons
• Fix bugs
• Add bugs

Notes:

• No store update as of yet because the updater tab needs to be versioned out.
• Currently takes a long time to start and draw the interface, and switch tabs. The next release will delay API calls until the user opens that tab.

Mostly small GUI improvements and a few bug fixes from the previous pre-release.

Changes:

• Apply settings button is disabled until other controls have changed.
• Added warning dialogs when settings are invalid.
• Custom browser path and search engine URL values are now validated and will trigger said warning if not.
