3.029 Jul 2014 21:01
major feature:
Made the setup screen give more information about leaving the android ID blank. Consistent look of the search view tab for all content. Large apps (50 MB+) that use extensions files will now be downloaded entirely. No longer create archives wherever the app happens to be started. Instead, keep everything in the "Racccon" folder in the user's homedir (users who upgrade may want to manually move their existing archives there). Added -i commandline option for power users who wish to import app lists from existing devices. Added "New Archive" menu item. Use HTML templates for laying out the GUI. The formatting looks much nicer now than before. Toggle icon loading from the views menu (this is switched off by default as it slows down searching). Show an informative splash screen when opening up an archive. Added buttons/Links to directly open downloads in a filebrowser. The MS Windows version should now automatically use the native Windows Look and Feel. Added an application icon.
