What's new in v4.7.0u:

  1. Now uses user Java preferences rather than system Java preferences

  2. Fixed several NullPointerException errors

  3. Fixed blank package description icons/screenshots in Package Viewer window

  4. Imported and made use of JPowerShell API in order to implement an awesome powershell self-elevating permissions hack that triggers UAC to start novacom (from https://github.com/profesorfalken/jPowerShell)

  5. Converted project from NetBeans to Eclispe

  6. Converted project from Java 6/CC1.5 to Java 12/CC11. Java 7 or above is now reccomended, as is the use of OpenJDK (https://www.adoptopenjdk.net)

  7. Install folder is no longer created until novacom is detected

  8. Most of the novacom driver detection code is re-written from the ground up to better support Linux and macOS on all architectures, including armhf. This means that novacom can now be detected accurately on headless servers, or even a Raspberry Pi! Windows novacom detection support is retained from earlier versions

  9. On Windows and Linux, if novacom is installed, but not running, it will now be started. (This is not needed on macOS, because novacomd runs perpetually once installed)

  10. If the Install folder is empty, it will now be deleted upon exit

  11. Re-hosted webos-clock-themer repository at https://github.com/NotAlexNoyle/WebOS-Clock-Themer/

  12. Updated "about" window

  13. Fixed package icon display in Package Viewer window

  14. Fixed package screenshot display in Package Viewer window

  15. Several other minor edits and bug fixes (see the commit history at https://github.com/NotAlexNoyle/WebOS-Quick-Install for a comprehensive comparison)
