0.6.5 Chili Garlic Shrimps

• upgraded application to .net 5.0
• setup is now provided self contained, so .net runtime does not have to be installed
• reworked most windows for a more consistent layout
• layout is STILL not final, but I don't expect any HUGE future changes except for Font/Sizes/Paddings/Margins :D - BUT
• RecNForget now has a dark mode, which is the new default
• window colors can now be changed using context menu -> Change theme -> (Select theme)
• selected file control now also shows file size and play length
• selected file can now be exported as mp3, this action can be reached by
• pressing the 'X'-Button, while having the RecNForget-Window open or
• clicking the export button right next to the file name in the selected file control
• bitrate can be set using context menu -> open settings -> output -> Bitrate
• a dialog, prompting for an export name can be enabled using context menu -> open settings -> output -> 'prompt for exported file name'
• (otherwise filename is taken from original wav-file with mp3-extension)
• new recording timer control:
• users can now delay recording start/ stop with the new recording timer control
• this control can be toggled using context menu-> show recording timer control
• time spans used are entered right to left (seconds first) in the following format: d:hh:mm:ss
• if the "Stops after"- timer is enabled, a recording session will be automatically ended after that time span
• "stop recording" can still be forced by hitting record again (if "Stops after"- timer is already running)
• "Stops after" can also be enabled while already recording
• if the "Starts after"- timer is enabled, the "start recording" action will be delayed by that time span
• "start recording" can be forced by triggering record again (if "Starts after"- timer is already running)
• switched to svg for icons
• popup info windows have been replaced with non blocking toast messages(errors and warnings)
• toast messages now use Notifications.Wpf.Core, which makes them consistently silent (not adding random windows sounds to recorded samples)

0.4 Wirsingkopf

• migrated to .NET Framework 4.8

• FIX: upgrading deletes existing user data

• FIX: uninstalling RecNForget will now also delete all user data (under %APPDATA% machine configuration and in registry for autostart)

• FIX: clicking the open folder button does not crash RecNForget anymore, if that folder does not (yet) exist

• FIX: changing the file prefix changes the displayed file name with output path

• reworked controls of the main window to use a simple white and black "theme"

• window options and settings can be opened via context menu on the main window

• moved always on top option to context menu

• file name pattern textbox no longer in main window (it is instead configured by the pencil button next to "recording path" or via settings menu)

• Selected File Control is now hidden by default (can be changed in the context menu)

• Output Path Control is now hidden by default (can be changed in the context menu)

• default hotkey for "toggle record" is now [Pause]

• added skip buttons to navigate through output folder (auto selects the latest file on program start)

• added a stop-replay button (this also closes the file in RecNForget enabling you to move or rename it...)

• can select the selected file in the explorer using [Down-Arrow]-key in the main window

• can play/pause selected file using [Space]-key in the main window

• can skip to previous/next file using [Left-Arrow]/[Right-Arrow]-key in the main window

• can rename selected file via pencil icon next to "selected file"

• can rename slected file using [Return]-key in the main window

• can delete selected file via trash can icon next to "selected file"

• can delete selected file using [Delete]-key in the main window

• can configure target path via folder icon next to "recording path"

• auto selecting the last recording is now optional (enabled by default)

• added a help link to the menu (opens help window)

• can stop playing slected file using [Esc]-key in the main window

• clicking the open folder button now selects the last result file in explorer (or just opens folder if there is no result yet)

• Taskbar Icon background turns green when replaying the last audio (stays green also when paused to remind you that the file is still open)

• tray icon menu now shows the same menu as the windows options menu at the top left of the main window

• when started for the first time, RecNForget will show the toggle record and output folder setting and allow to change them

• window position is now remembered after closing the application

• RecNForget can now update itself via clicking the about-button (via top left window button) and then "check for updates"

• RecNForget can now show random tips on program start (did you know?) (enabled by default)

• Installation is cancelled if .Net framework is not found

• Installer lets user choose target installation folder

• Installer now shows a minimal UI with license agreement and logo during installation

• Installer now starts with elevated privileges (so it can update the files installed in programs folder)

Release Version 0.3

• RecNForget now has a msi-Installer (generated through WiX)
  (for now just simple "silent" setup: installing to the default programs folder and creating a shortcut in start menu, running msi with higher version will upgrade, also allows repairing via programs/features (in case a file went "missing" for example), clicking "change" will just rerun the msi, not very useful for now

• RecNForget now enforces that there is only one instance of it running
  (even though it could be "funny" to have multiple applications capturing your hotkeys and recording :D)

• User configuration has been moved to appdata/roaming (is created on program start)

• FIX error when trying to play the last file (but it was moved or deleted - missing replay file leads to button being disabled, missing audio feedback files are silently ignored for now)

• FIX: application icon was not shown when executing from a directory different to the application directory

• FIX: suppress not allowed characters for filenames in filename prefix pattern

• can enable instant auto-replay of audio after recording (disabled by default)

• can enable short audio beep as feedback marking beginning and end of recording (enabled by default)

• can enable short audio beep as feedback marking beginning and end of replayed audio (disabled by default)

• can enable balloon tips (toast messages) for when recording starts or stops (enabled by default)

• can enable running main window as a background process (minimized to tray, disabled by default)

• can set main window to be always on top (disabled by default)

• added auto-start-option (disabled by default)

• can click balloon top when recording finished to select recorded file in explorer

• can close application via tray icon context menu

• show length of recording in main window and balloon tips

• show proper icon for exe in explorer

Release Version 0.2

• FIX: reconfiguring hotkeys was not possible

• added button to replay audio of last recorded file

• show last recored file path in main window (starting with program start)

• show currently recording file path in main window

• added open output folder button

• resized windows, made main window smaller to only display most relevant current information

• moved hotkey configuration to separate settings window

• moved output path and prompt for file name configuration to separate settings window

• but keep file name prefix setting in main window (because that's the setting most likely to be changed in one session)

Work In Progress Release

Requires .Net Framework 4.7.

• Work in progress!
• define a hotkey to start or stop recording windows default audio output
• pick a folder and a prefix for auto generated recorded files
  (resulting in files such as C:\MyOutputFolder\RecNForget_20190116-214328001.wav)

There are a lot of still disabled options in the window!
