- Added an additional verification when navigating to a web page to account for dynamic DOM updates and wait until they are completed.
- The taskbar icon for non-headless Chrome windows now become hidden after Chrome process execution (although still visible for a moment).
- When a plugin is already running, the application now allows you to click the "Run plugin" button of another plugin to run it simultaneously.
- Automatic plugin execution has been improved to run smoother, avoiding user-interface flickering.
- The parallel execution mode has been optimized to dynamically determine the number of simultaneous Chrome instances to use —up to a maximum of 8— based on available system memory and CPU cores.
- The combination of the navigation improvements mentioned above and the other ones mentioned in v1.1.4 should fix previous unexpected false positives in the registration/application form validation performed by some plugins.
- The labels displaying the last run status of their corresponding plugin were not updating correctly when plugins were executed in parallel mode.

- A string validation mistake was preventing the application form from being validated correctly in the following plugins:
BitPornDarkPeersOnlyEncodesRastastuganUpscaleVault
- Optimized memory usage by resizing and compressing all image resources, reducing memory consumption from ~500 MB to ~160 MB at application startup.
- Optimized memory usage by reutilizing a single shared context menu for the "Open Website" button of all dynamic plugins instead of creating one context menu per each plugin, reducing memory consumption from ~620 MB to ~500 MB at application startup.
- Replaced the spanish terms "solicitud de inscripción" with "solicitud de membresía" to improve clarity and user understanding.
- Refactored all plugin JSON files to include three URLs: login page, registration page, and application page.
- Added a context menu to the 'Open Website' button in each plugin panel, allowing users to choose which URL to open.
- Reworked all plugin VB source code files to simplify overall logic and structure.
- All eligible plugins (websites) now also checks too for whether an application form is open.
- Added a new option in the
Settingspanel to allow UI notifications when a plugin detects an open application form. - Minor adjustments were made to improve the clarity and descriptiveness of log messages.

- Added six new helper methods for plugin developers:
PrintMessagePrintMessageFormatDefaultRegistrationFormCheckProcedureDefaultApplicationFormCheckProcedureEvaluateRegistrationFormStateEvaluateApplicationFormStateNote that theEvaluate*Formstatefunctions are more intended for internal use, so they are not documented in the included README file.
- Updated Selenium nuget package to version 4.38.0

- Tab navigation has been adjusted to reflect the new added controls.
- Button "Clear cache" in the plugin tabs was not properly translated.
- The installer now asks for confirmation before overwriting the contents of the 'plugins' folder during installation, allowing to preserve any custom or modified plugins, allowing to preserve any custom or modified plugins.
- Added a button in the
Settingspanel to run all selected plugins on demand. - Added a button in the
Settingspanel to clear previous log entries on plugin execution. - Each plugin tab now has a button to clear its plugin cache.
- Improved resource management for Selenium services (
ChromeDriverServiceobject is now disposed appropriately). - Other minor internal resource management improvements with disposable objects and Garbage Collector.
- Added logic and status messages to differentiate between registration and application forms.
- Plugins 'HD-Olimpo' and 'HDZero' now also checks for an open application form. (Other plugins may be updated to do the same in future releases.)
