0.15.0 - Bye-Bye Annoying Pop-Ups

[Timthreetwelve]

This update includes a new method of displaying error messages, bug fixes and translation updates! 🎉

What's New: ✨

• New: Most error messages will now be shown in the grid in the main window instead of in an annoying pop-up message box. Bug Report: Annoying Popup After Internet Disconnects #146

  • Example:
    

• New: If enabled, the tray icon will change to a red exclamation mark if Get My IP encounters an error. Bug Report: Annoying Popup After Internet Disconnects #146

  • The icon isn't pretty, but hopefully it is never seen. 😀
    

• New: Added a basic mechanism for retrying HTTP request exceptions. Bug Report: Annoying Popup After Internet Disconnects #146

  • See Settings > Application Settings > Maximum number of times to try connecting and Number of seconds between retry attempts.
  • The number of times to try connecting starts at 1. This is the initial attempt. Therefore, a value of 1 essentially tells Get My IP not to retry connecting. Use a value of 2 or greater to retry connecting.
  • Not all errors will be retried.
  • Default values are 4 tries and 15 seconds between retries.

• Updated: Additional work has been done on the "Restore minimized window to center of screen" feature. Bug Report: #143

  • This removed the WpfScreenHelper dependency.

• Updated: Rewrote much of the code involved in converting the IP address and geolocation data supplied by the providers into a usable format.

  • This will make debugging and adding or updating providers easier.

• Updated: The installer has been updated to delete files created by previous installs that are no longer needed.

  • The portable (zip) versions are not affected by this update.

• Updated: Dutch language updates. Thanks, @CMTriX.

• Updated: French language updates. Thanks, @logounet.

• Updated: German language updates. Thanks, @uDEV2019.

• Updated: Italian language updates. Thanks, @bovirus.

• Updated: Japanese language updates. Thanks, @coolvitto.

• Updated: Korean language updates. Thanks, @VenusGirl.

• Updated: Bumped Vanara.PInvoke.User32 to version 4.0.6.

• Updated: Additional optimizations and UI tweaks.

Full Changelog: v0.14.0...v0.15.0

Switching Install types? 🚩

Important

When switching between install types (i.e. x64x86, SC_x64, SC_x86) please uninstall the previous version before installing the current version. Failure to do so may produce unpredictable results. Users of portable versions should replace the entire folder.
