Version 0.8.0

This update features a new automatic check for updates, other new features and updates.

If you are upgrading from a release prior to 0.6.0, please review the release notes for 0.6.0

Changes: 👀

• 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 Settings page.
• New: Added font size selection to the Settings page.
• Updated: Language selection has been reworked. #30
  • For new installs, the default will now be to use the OS language, provided that there is a translation available.
  • If there is no translation available, the default will be English (en-US) and the option to use the OS language will be disabled.
  • This will provide a better experience for new users.
  • This change will not affect existing installations.
  • This change will also be applied to the other Timthreetwelve applications during their next update.
• Updated: Optimized the way language dictionaries are compared.
  • Pressing Ctrl+Shift+K will compare the current language dictionary keys to the en-US dictionary to find missing and extraneous keys.
  • The comparison can also be invoked by clicking the new compare icon in the Language Settings section on the Settings page. The icon looks like two slightly offset arrows pointing at each other.
  • The comparison is written to the application log which will be opened automatically if the system is configured to open .log files with a text editor.
  • A language other than en-US must be in use for this to work. Otherwise the en-US dictionary will be compared to itself.
• Updated: Spanish (es-ES) language translation
• Updated: Dutch (nl-NL) translation. Thanks @CMTriX #38
• Updated: Bump Vanara.PInvoke.User32 to version 4.1.1
• Updated: Bump github.com/dahall/TaskScheduler to version 2.12.1
• Updated: Bump NLog to 5.4.0
• Updated: Bump Nerdbank.GitVersioning to 3.7.115
• Updated: Bump Octokit to 14.0.0

0.6.0 - The update is finally here

This update includes requested features (#1) and new download/installation options

Changes: 👀

• Updated: Much of the application was rewritten to be more efficient and resilient.
• Updated: My Scheduled Tasks has a new UI. Those changes include:
  • The grid now includes a "Next Run" column.
  • A new "Darker" theme has been added.
  • Settings and Add Tasks are now on individual pages instead of being pop-up dialogs.
  • Instead of displaying "Multiple triggers defined", each trigger is now listed in the details pane.
  • Instead of displaying "Multiple actions defined", each action is now listed in the details pane.
  • A non-zero result code is now shown in bold in the details pane.
  • "Start ASAP if Missed", "Start Only if on AC Power" and "Start Run Only When User is Logged On" have been added to the details pane.
  • Added Ctrl+Plus and Ctrl+Minus keyboard shortcut for those with TKL keyboards.
  • Right-clicking on an item in the Details pane will copy it to the clipboard.
  • Many more visual tweaks.
• New: Starting in version 0.6.0, My Scheduled Tasks can import tasks from an XML file and delete tasks from
  Windows Task Scheduler. The Import and Delete options are located under the "Advanced" menu which is
  hidden by default. You should only use these options if you understand the implications of doing so. I
  will not be held responsible if you use these options. Please use them wisely. The Advanced menu can
  be enabled in Settings -> Application Settings.
• New: My Scheduled Tasks is now multilingual. Starting with just English and Spanish but the framework is in place to add more languages. If you wish to contribute a translation, check out the Contribute a Translation topic in the Wiki. Your help would be greatly appreciated.
• Updated: Changes to your task list are now automatic. You can still save the task list file from the File menu.
• New: Added a common results code reference. It is available from the three-dot menu.
• New: Details will only be displayed when one task is selected from the grid.
• New: Additional download and installation options. See below.

Breaking changes: ⚡

• This version of My Scheduled Tasks will always run as Administrator. Depending on your User Account Control (UAC) settings, a UAC dialog may pop up. If a UAC prompt is shown, you will need to click 'Yes' to use My Scheduled Tasks. This change was made because My Scheduled Tasks needs to run elevated to be able to see all the tasks in Windows Task Scheduler and to perform functions such as enabling, disabling, running, and deleting tasks. Consequently, the option to restart as administrator has been removed."

Change to .NET 8 🥅

• Starting with version 0.6.0, My Scheduled Tasks uses the .NET 8 desktop runtime.
• .NET 8 is the current Long Term Support release of .NET and will be supported until November 2026.
• If you can't upgrade to .NET 8, you can still use this release of My Scheduled Tasks by choosing one of the self-contained versions to download.
• If you want to upgrade to .NET 8, you can find it here.

New download and installation options ✨

With this release I'm adding Self Contained versions both the portable and installer versions. In this context, Self-Contained means that the required .NET files are included. A self-contained installation does not require that the .NET runtime is installed. Of course, by including the required .NET files, the installation is much larger. Download the installer or zip archive that best suits your needs.

In addition:

• Publishing a Self-Contained build requires that either x86 or x64 be targeted. Consequently, there are versions for each x86 and x64.
• The filename of the Self-Contained builds will indicate the architecture, either x86 or x64.
• The name of the zip archives has been changed from NonInstall has been changed to Portable.
