[Action Required] Important announcement for Windows 7 users:
The prior ShareX update involved an upgrade to .NET Framework version 4.7.2.Microsoft suggests that specific TLS versions should not be hardcodedso the operating system can automatically utilize the newest supported TLS protocols. We implemented this approach; however, following our previous ShareX release, we observed that Windows 7, despite supporting TLS 1.2, did not automatically use it. Hardcoding TLS 1.2 into our code was necessary to ensure its support. Consequently, due to the absence of TLS 1.2 support,the ShareX auto updater is broken for Windows 7 users.Therefore, ShareX must be updated manually from theShareX web site,or you can download adev build inside ShareX app..

- Enhancements to the settings save/load mechanism to prevent unexpected setting resets:
- When settings are saved to a file, they are now stored directly in theWindows hard disk cache.To prevent data corruption caused by power loss or improper PC shutdowns when settings were stored in the hard disk cache, ShareX now bypasses the hard disk cache when saving settings and copying backups. This resolves issues where the most recent settings file and its backup could become corrupted. Additionally, two new fallback options have been implemented for loading settings: a temporary file and the last weekly backup. Should the primary and previous settings files become corrupted, ShareX will resort to loading the last weekly backup as a final measure. The updated setting load fallback sequence is now:
- Most recent settings file
Documents\ShareX\ApplicationConfig.json
- Temporary latest settings file
Documents\ShareX\ApplicationConfig.json.temp
- Backup of the preceding settings file
Documents\ShareX\Backup\ApplicationConfig.json
- Last weekly backup file
Documents\ShareX\Backup\ApplicationConfig-2020-05-W22.json
- Uploader passwords are now encrypted using DPAPI when saving settings.DPAPIwhen settings are saved

- An image effect packager has been added (accessible via the "Packager" button in the image effects window), enabling the creation of .sxiepack files. Unlike previous .sxie exports, a .sxiepack can include necessary image files for an effect to function and simplifies user import by allowing a simple double-click of the
.sxieexport functionality was, a package can contain all required image files for the image effect to work, and users can easily import them by simply double-clicking the .sxiepack file..jsonfiles. The advantage of using the packager over the previous .sxie export is that packages can contain image files required for the image effect to operate, and importing is simplified for users by just double-clicking the .sxiepack file..sxie file*

- The "ImageEffects" folder is now included in the ShareX personal folder directory.
- Added
%ShareXImageEffects%A new path variable is now available for all image effects that require file or folder paths. If you specify a path within the ShareX image effects folder, that portion of the path will be automatically substituted with%ShareXImageEffects%. This ensures paths remain correct even if another user's image effects folder is in a custom location when you share an image effect. The image effect packager also prevents selecting an assets folder outside the ShareX image effects folder, guaranteeing path consistency.
- The "Image" image effect (formerly "Image watermark") now includes an interpolation mode option. For instance,
Nearest neighborthis is useful for creating an image border using a 1px image and stretching it to cover the entire image length. Without this option, an enlarged image would appear blurry due to anti-aliasing during scaling.
