TinyNvidiaUpdateChecker v1.4.0

[1.4.0] - 2016-10-12

Long time no see, or that's what they say at least. I have been busy being a typical student, I am trying to keep up dev but only have so much spare time to spare programming. As you see, the versions have been spaced a lot. I haven't made the same amount of changes in the code either lately as I used to do (when I had a lot of free time), but that doesn't mean that I am abandoning this project.

Might start pushing out beta versions if people are interested in that kind of stuff, thing is that I am really wondering if people are even using this application, so it might be for... nothing. And in that case, wouldn't this entire project be for nothing..? I don't have a clue of the userbase.

Whatever, a new version out lads.

Added

• Added the argument "--force-dl" for a force download of gpu drivers even if the drivers are up-to-date.
• Option to view release PDF.

Changed

• Command line argument handler has been improved, and the argument for erasing local config file has been changed to --erase-config.
• Some code has been moved around.
• The default download folder is now the users Downloads folder instead of the temp folder.
• A lot of minor code improvements.

Fixed

• Some Process.Start() calls will no longer risk breaking the application.

• Basic documentation started.

Changed

• Changes around config system, for example the key "Desktop GPU" has been renamed to "GPU Type".
• Code 10% more bullet proof.
• Updated HTMLAgilityPack to v1.4.9.5, and therefore upped .NET framework target to 4.5.
