Software update: MultiPar 1.3.1.8 beta

MultiPar is an open source program that allows files and associated archive files to be checked for corruption. If necessary, it can reconstruct the data. This is used, among other things, for exchanging files via Usenet, since these are divided into different parts and not all parts are available on all Usenet servers. MultiPar 1.3.1.8 was released a few days ago with the following list of changes:

MultiPar version 1.3.1.8 beta

This is minor bug fix version. Though I updated many files, most users don’t see the difference. Because there may be a problem still, I didn’t set this version as stable yet. When I cannot re-produce a problem nor test a behavior myself, it’s difficult to solve. If there is no serious problem, next version will be the last of v1.3.1 tree. When you see a bug, odd incident, or strange behavior, please let me know. I will fix as possible as I can.

I changed the order of files in Windows 10 style. It treats digits as numbers in filenames. Though the method was introduced from Windows 7, I didn’t change for compatibility.

Windows 10 supports multiple monitors with different DPI. The method is called as PerMonitorV2 in application manifest. I implemented the way, and MultiPar would be less blurry on a secondary monitor now. Because I cannot test the behavior myself, I’m not sure it works on each user’s case. If someone sees a problem on his PC, please report the incident with a screen-shot. Thanks John L. Galt for many tests on multiple monitors.
