Hi Guys,
I hope you're enjoying v2 with the recent features such as timed tags and playlists. It's been a couple of months since my last build so I wanted to give you an update on what I've been working on.
In August I took a vacation for a couple of weeks so closed the laptop for a short while and recharged. Since then though I've been upgrading the code base to .NET 6 as the previous .NET 5 has ended support by Microsoft (it was only intended to be a short release). Instead though .NET 6 will be around until at least 2024 so plenty of time remaining when it comes to support. There is a .NET 7.0 available soon but at moment its a preview release so I'd rather allow it to settle down before adopting it.
So what does .NET 6 give? Well you won't see any visual differences in the application but in theory newer frameworks have more efficient code and therefore we should at least get a performance boost from it.
I've tested most of the app and looks pretty good with .NET 6, a few issues I had to fix but all feels stable now. I'm hoping to get a release and build done early next week.
What next? Well with .NET 6 sorted, I'll focus on plugins again and try to get more available for you. Some great feedback on the comments so I've got a list of ones to try to implement!
Finally, I'm looking to spend a little time developing a website for the app, rather than trying to use Patreon to share info. Patreon will still be used for subscribing however the website will be structured much better for FAQs, how to's and info. I'll also have less restrictions on what I can show screenshot wise etc. I'm finding many Patreon's tend to ask me about stuff that is already functionality in the application and so I'm looking at the website to be able to make info easy to find as it could be many of my users aren't getting the best out of the application :)
As always thank you all so much for the ongoing support!!!!!!
