xp-apps 0.4.0-dev1

This is the first stable release, I think. I hope this build will work well

Warning

Do not use --self-update. Updater now is broken

Changes:

- xp-apps can now download files from HTTPS sites using cURL (and CurlWrapper). For more information, read PR #4
- Add custom event when pressed ctrl + c key

Some screenshots 😄

This build was tested on Windows XP Professional x64 edition. Should also work on Windows Server 2003 x86/x64 and on Windows XP x86

xp-apps 0.2.0-dev2

Important

This is the development build of xp-apps. For testing purposes only.

Changes:

• Restructured code
• Removed hard-coded categories
• Implemented the GenerateCategories function, which generates a dictionary with a pair of category name and value (Thanks ChatGPT 😄)
• Various improvements
• Using custom Logger for better debugging instead of Console.WriteLine function

TODO:

• Fill in the application repository and update all applications to the latest version (I'm too lazy to do this now)
• Implement Interactive Console (I think)

Warning

This program works only on Windows XP with OCA preinstalled (and .NET Framework 4.0, and .NET Framework 4.5/4.7.2/4.8. Why? Because TLS 1.2 required for access to github.com and many https sites)

UPD 06/17/2024 - Starting to use my own website data.nixxoq.xyz to remove this warning.
Updater ✅ (now works without TLS 1.2. Unfortunately, Updater does not work properly, the program is still under development)

Application list (application database) - ❌

xp-apps v0.1.4.0

Important

This is the development build of xp-apps. For testing purposes only.

Changes:

• Rewrote xp-apps in C#, batch version is very buggy
• Only CLI with command-line arguments. I was thinking about implementing Interactive Console in future

TODO:

• Fill in the application repository and update all applications to the latest version (I'm too lazy to do this now)
• Implement Interactive Console (i think)

Warning

This program works only on Windows XP with OCA preinstalled (and .NET Framework 4.0, and .NET Framework 4.5/4.7.2/4.8. Why? Because TLS 1.2 required for access to github.com and many https sites)
