New in Depressurizer 0.7.2.0 (Jul 26, 2017)
- IMPORTANT: If you are upgrading from version 0.7.1.4, you will need to go to Profile->Edit Profile Info->Options and check the "Update from local steam files before trying a web update" option in order to re-enable it.
- New Changes & Features:
- Added Dutch translation (By @mvegter).
- Reenabled updating owned games list from local files. This is much faster compared to a web update and doesn't require your profile to be public. You will need to re-enable it in Profile->Edit Profile Info->Options if you are upgrading from version 0.7.1.4.
- Improved the settings of the autocats that are auto-created when making a new profile. Autocategorizing by Tags, Developers or Publishers using those default autocats may now end up creating a few thousand categories so it is still recommended to customize them first (by right-clicking on them and choosing "edit autocats...").
- When autocategorizing, prompt to re-scrape if web-sourced game data is older than X days (default: 30).
- Added loading message when auto-updating from HLTB at program startup.

New in Depressurizer 0.7.1.4 (Jul 26, 2017)
- Added check-box to use Wilson score when autocategorizing by user score (By @AnadeB). If checked, auto-categorizing by User Score will use the lower bound of the Wilson 95% confidence interval instead of the positive reviews fraction. There would be 95% confidence that the “real” positive fraction is at least the score calculated. This calculation reduces the rating if the number of reviews is too low.
- Added Autocat by name (By @bswan).
- Disabled updating list of owned games from local files. Owned games will now only update from web. Requires you to have a public profile in order to update properly.
- Fixed age check bypass.

- Synced GlobalSettings files (English & Spanish). Need a Spanish speaker to do the translations!
