May 2022

VPN Tab - Added VPN Create function
There is now a function to create VPN connections (provisioning files). This may be used in lieu of the old method of using the VPN Editor.

VPN Tab - Added VPN Remove function
CMST provisioned connections can not be removed from a control in the VPN tab. The old method of using the VPN Editor still remains.

Icon Manager
Several new pieces of artwork have been added to the program and while doing that the icon manager was extensively reworked. Support for using system theme icons instead of the built in ones has been vastly improved. After this update the first time you start the program a dialog will popup stating that there in a new icon definition file and asking would you like to keep a copy of the old one. Unless you have made any customizations to the old one and you would like to keep them for reference there is no reason to retain a copy.

Revise startup process (issue #269)
Code executed at program startup has been reworked per this issue. Among other things CMST will now create a systemtray icon without regard to a systemtray being present and will install the icon should a tray become available after program startup.
