What's new:

UI Changes

  • Light theme is back! (That also means the theme toggle in settings actually does something now)
  • New buttons with images added to replace the boring old text buttons (stuff like download and open user page)
  • A cool new splash screen featuring a never-before-seen NCX-Core banner

Behind the Scenes Changes

  • XStore is now dynamic!
    This means that we can easily update any part of XStore like the download link for a program or the link to the author's page without releasing an update to NCX-Core. We can even add new programs!

What's coming:

  • UI refinements
  • The first time setup screen's return
  • An accompanying, more refined, version of NCX-Core Updater
  • Screenshots coming back

  • New buttons in almost every place that uses buttons

What's new:

(really, what isn't new?)

UI Changes

  • Remade the entire UI, making it much more user friendly and intuitive
  • Added a "Featured" spot on the main menu, along with spots for 3 recently updated programs
  • Added a button to quickly launch NCX-News+ (if it's installed) while on the main menu
  • Added a left side navigation bar, making it easy to get around

Internal Changes

  • Uses purely pages now, with only one window to decrease time needed for navigation
  • Removed the built in updater in favour of using NCX-Core Updater, which allows the use of NCX-Core betas
  • Added nightly support to more programs

Bugs fixed:

  • Restored compatibility with CSharpCollection (for real this time, I know the notes for v2.9 said this too)

What's new:

Nothing really, this was a bugfix update

There is a chance those updating from 2.3 may have trouble. If there are problems, I recommend uninstalling 2.3 and then installing 2.5 instead of using the update feature.

Also, the file name for the installer will change to NCXInstallerSetup.msi next release (oops I forgot this release)
