Quick fix related to previous release.
Profiles
Using profiles, it is possible to switch to a specific device when a condition occurs. Profiles can be defined for the following purposes:
-
💫 Application profile
When a application is focused, the sound settings are switched based on the profile. For example create a profile for Spotify to only play music on your speaker, while your favorite game is using your headset.
-
⌨️ Hot key profile
When a hot key combination is pressed, the sound settings are switched based on the profile. For example you define a special combination to switch your playback device to your television.

This version is the first one officially signed by a recognized certificate agency.
No need for the self-certificate anymore.
For now on, SoundSwitch will be double signed. Once by my self-signed cert, and then by the other certificate of Certum.
After a couple of versions of doing that, I'll stop signing it with my self-sign certificate.
Moreover, this version introduces translation corrections and 2 new languages, Russian and Polish.

Mostly a bug fix release. This version might require you to reconfigure your audio device.
It also relies on the ID of the device instead of some combination of the name/id of the device. This should resolve the main issue where SoundSwitch couldn't do its job anymore.

To help with video game not wanting to change their audio output, I'm hooking in the Windows 10 API to force them to change their audio device. This feature is in beta and need testing.
This version is a major step toward having a full interface for you to be able to set which application should use witch endpoint directly from SoundSwitch.

This version contains a huge refactoring of the way the default device is switched. Before I was relying on another lib I wrote in C++, I've removed all the code linked to this lib.
In other words, now SoundSwitch is a full C# application without any C++. This let me drop the need for Visual Redist C++ 2017.
This version should also work with the latest version of Windows 10.

We have now a new logo, thanks to @linadesteem for it !
You'll see it on the website, in the README and as a new icon for the program.
Also, I've added a small but useful feature for portability. You are now able to copy your SoundSwitch configuration from one machine to another and the application will use either the ID of the device or its name to Switch.
In other words, if you change your machine but keep the same device with the same name, you won't need to reconfigure SoundSwitch ! (or if Windows decide again to change the id of the devices out of the blue).

Thanks to @Niko-O, a memory leak should now be plugged. SoundSwitch was keeping all the different icons it encountered and never disposed of them.
I implemented a 5 minutes cache to avoid this.
Also, the Portuguese translation has been corrected, some typos found their way into the previous release.
Italian language is also now present in the application and the installer. Thanks to @bovirus.
Moreover, the language menu now list the language in their own language instead of English's name.
Finally, a simple button has been added to easily disable any set custom sound. Very useful when using the Banner and you want to remove the sound you set previously.
