⚠️ Warning: Important changes to WinNUT preferences system
WinNUT has undergone a fairly important change to its underlying preferences system, that besides an import dialog, should be otherwise unnoticeable.
WinNUT used to store its settings in the User Registry Hive. This was problematic for a number of reasons; the largest one being that I'm moving WinNUT to a new deployment system which would be helped by migrating to the default .NET Framework settings system.
I've created a migration wizard which will pop up the first time you open this version of WinNUT. It will ask you what you would like to do with the old settings; Import, Backup (save a copy), Delete, or do nothing and use a fresh copy of the Settings. Besides the Delete option, this process is entirely non-destructive and will leave your old preferences as they were in the Registry. As long as an old copy of WinNUT preferences remain in the Registry, there will always be an option in the File menu that will restart the migration wizard. I've tested this several times on my own system, and everything appears to be working as intended. Please comment in the Discussion if you experience any problems, or have any questions.
WinNUT 1.x Import procedure
Up until this release, WinNUT used to have an option for importing WinNUT 1.x settings into its Preferences registry system. I removed this feature as of now since I believe most people are currently running WinNUT 2. If you have WinNUT 1.x settings that you wish to carry over, you may then download the release prior to this one, launch it, run the 1.x import procedure, exit, then update to this version and follow the migration wizard as previously described.
