Full list of features added and bugs fixed.
Open SourceThe wyUpdate Client is now open source (using the BSD license). Download the source and begin hacking away. It's C# 2.0 code.
wyUpdate Professional DesignerLastly, there's now a free (Express) and a Professional version of the wyUpdate Designer. When you download wyUpdate you get the wyUpdate Professional Trial. This trial has no limitations and no popup-nags.
The wyUpdate Professional Trial automatically downgrades to wyUpdate Express after 20 days (unless, of course, you buy a license).
If you need help, the wyUpdate Help explains the harder to use features. Also, feel free to post any questions, suggestions, or bug-fixes. (No forum registration is required.)
I'll have a blog post on all of this later in the week, but for now enjoy wyUpdate 1.0 Final.
