Software update: ShareX 13.6.0

Version 13.6.0 of ShareX has been released, a version that is considered pre-release. With this open source program, both static and moving images can be captured, after which various operations can be applied. When you are satisfied with the result it can be saved to about eighty destinations, such as Flickr, Pastebin, Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, Amazon S3, and Streamable. The functionality can also be further expanded with self-written upload modules to customize this part as well. The changelog for this release looks like this:

Changes in ShareX version 13.6.0:

• ShareX is now using .NET Framework 4.8 which will be automatically downloaded if it is not available on the system
• Updated Inno Setup to 6.2.0 which has modernized graphics
• Updated Inno Setup Dependency Installer script which is now using the new built in Inno Setup downloader to download .NET Framework
• Added “Glow” image effect, which allows you to make a gradient outer glow around your screenshots*

• Added Discord button, you can join our Discord server to get support from the community
• Added “Menu font” theme option, and changed default font size of menu and context menus to 9.75 pt
• Added Bing visual search button to the main window context menu and also as a URL sharing service destination, this works as both an image search and a great OCR service

• When a screenshot is taken, the window title and process name of the active window is stored in history as meta tag
  • This will greatly improve searching screenshots in the ShareX history window. For example if you take a screenshot from the Spotify window then you can either search “spotify” (process name) or specific artist name or song name (window title) which are stored in a meta tag. If you take screenshots on your browser, you can search the website you took it on (since the website name is generally in the Window Title)
