New in WebGrab+Plus 5.0.1 Beta (Sep 26, 2022)
- This beta is built in DotNet 6. It has the same functionality (+ some) as beta 4.2.4
New in WebGrab+Plus 4.2.3.0 Beta (May 27, 2022)
- A more mature version of the DotNet variant .. among the many fixes , the introduction of a new grabengine based on the Httpclient class . This fixes the slower speed of this distro wrt the V3 version.
New in WebGrab+Plus 4.2.2.0 (Mar 23, 2022)
- This new distro of the program is build in .NET5 ('core'). See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.NET#
- (version 3.x.x is build in the legacy .NET Framework 4.8)
- The windows version of this runs as normal .. and should run on most Windows versions. Installing it will replace the existing V3.x.x version (But it is recommended to uninstall it first)
- The Linux (OS-X, Raspberry Pi, Synology NAS) variant needs Microsoft 'DotNet' runtime version 5 to be installed. There are numerous instructions how to do that on internet.
- It will not run in Mono !!
- To allow an easy path to migrate to it, installing it will create it in a separate bin folder (bin.net) that allows to run this version (run.net.sh) or the legacy version 3.x.x (run.sh) from the same wg++ home folder and the same config file .
- It has the same functionality as the 'legacy' 3.x.x version, and updates and bugfixes of version 3 will also be implemented in 4.x.x . New functionality will preferably be implemented only in version 4.x.x .. unless ..
- The license part however has an additional option that will list a 'license data overview'...
New in WebGrab+Plus 3.2.2.0 Beta (Sep 19, 2021)
- This beta uses the same source code as beta 3.2.1 (besides a few small fixes, see changelog.txt for that)
- The difference is that some of the components in 3.2.1 are build in a newer version on .NET (.NET Standard 2.0) which is not supported in some Mono distro's.
- For this beta the .NET version of these components are 'degraded' to .NET Framework 4.8, which will run on most Mono distro's
