0.4.5 LTS

[MasterJayanX]

Unfortunately, the previous release had some issues with the DLLs, because I compiled with mingw on Linux and my Windows machines didn't like that, apparently. This update mainly addresses that, but it also adds other very minor additions.

Changelog

• The About section now shows the current Service Pack or Update of your Windows version (ex. Windows XP Service Pack 3 or Windows 11 24H2)
• Minor changes to variables

Installation

Download the file named pmfow_win32_installer.exe or pmfow_win64_installer.exe and install it. The other 2 files (pmfow32.exe and pmfow64.exe) are just the standalone pmfow executables for 32 and 64 bit respectively, but without the necessary dependencies (these are used by the pmfow-updater tool). Alternatively, you can use the portable version instead.

Updating

There are two ways of updating pmfow to this version:

1. Using pmfow-updater

You can update pmfow to the latest version by running pmfow update and then pmfow-updater in a terminal window. This is the most straight-forward way of doing it. WARNING: If you are updating from version 0.4.1 or earlier, you will need to update the DLL files manually.

2. Manually updating

You can also update pmfow by manually downloading the standalone pmfow executable (pmfow32.exe or pmfow64.exe) and overwriting the old executable file (you might have to rename the new file to pmfow.exe, though).
