S24(3) Fara - Update (Revision 1)

 

Just a rapid fire update, was actually planning on this code hitting the next version but because I have seen the way the lastest versions of Windows deals with plugin processes and the security stance and implications on the logs (including LL) I have patched out the client to handle things much more gracefully.

This will stop random hangs and close the client quietly, protects wild APR issues and generally sorts out a shed ton of legacy code in terms of windowing, note the window now uses the OS Uxtheme (dark mode) in this case. Also only on develop a few days ago I have included the patch and setting for the expanded diskcache to 32gb - to better cope with 2K textures.

And lastly in another viewer first, the client and installer are now digitally signed by a CA cert.

This basically means windows smartscreen will be much happier and gives the end user a whole new level of assurance in terms of the viewers origin and authenticity.

This is not a trivial thing and required a real world monetary expense and personal data to attain.

So please enjoy the revised Fara client with these select enhancements, expect cool things to come in the as yet unnamed next version :)

Much Love,

KL
