||||
|
||||
- Use sensible default times for rechecking for an update, to avoid writing to the logs in a loop. (This was a hotfix for 0.57)
|
||||
- Runner cleans up the update directory if the installation is up to date. Thanks [@davidegiacometti](https://github.com/davidegiacometti)!

||||

|
||||
|
||||
### Installer
|
||||
|
||||
- Distribute a signed .msi inside the .exe installer bootstrapper. (This was a hotfix for 0.57)

||||
- Partial support for an ARM64 installer.
|
||||
- Updated the .NET to 6.0.4.
|
||||
- Force update all files on reinstall/update, to try and fix installation issues.
|
||||

|
||||
- Added the VC++ Redistributable binary as a requirement.
|
||||
- The Windows App SDK runtime binaries are being shipped with PowerToys instead of running its installer. This should fix most of the install issues with 0.58.
|
||||
|
||||
### Development
|
||||
|
||||
- PowerToys no longer takes a dependency on .NET core.
|
||||
- WinUI3 is a new dependency. Settings now targets win10-x64 and win10-arm64 due to this.
|
||||

|
||||
