The next update will be a BIG update with loads of new things I won't spoil quite yet.
I have also improved the updater, to get the delta file sizes lower and smoother delivery/checking for updates (also the check is faster now!) This updater is backwards compatible with the updater I implemented since version 3.0.1, so no problems. Still suggesting of course to stay up to date
Some rambling about older versions - if you stay up to date, no need to read further
Regarding the lifecycle:
Version 2.9.7 was released in January 2021, so it's been nearly a year. Given that the next update will be so significant, I think this a good place to leave off updating the manual delta pack for it. Anyone still running version 2.9.7 (for some reason!) should update to version 3.0.3b using the links in the OP and then you will be prepared for the upcoming update
When the new release is out, I will also drop server-side support for the auto-updater in 3.0.0x versions (released March through May 2021), as they use a very early auto-update that uses a completely different implementation server side. My download statistics server shows that the old update file has not been downloaded by a client in over 3 months either, so I think everyone has auto updated to at least 3.0.1.
If there is any reason someone wants to intentionally continue running 2.9.7 (or earlier), or 3.0.0/3.0.0b/3.0.0c/3.0.0d, please let me know why. I would much rather solve the issues with the newer version!
Thanks everyone for your continued support of J-Runner with Extras. I absolutely love developing it for you all.
Kind Regards,
Josh
