Why Did The Antivirus Flag Happen?

This was caused due to improper version implementation and coding incorrectly. What we were originally trying to do was create an update method that checks the string on pastebin, and if it doesn't match, it would alert the user there is a new update. Unfortunately the way we implemented it ended up downloading the string and then reading the reply instead of just reading it. This has hopefully been fixed in this update, but it may still flag antiviruses due to it being hosted on pastebin.

I have tested this version in VirusTotal over 8 times and they all report as clean, if you have different results please notify me ASAP.

With this release we've made a ton of changes behind the scenes for a better experience. We are going to change how our changelogs work. Instead of listing every single tiny change, we'll just note down the most huge changes. Pre-Releases / Previews are usually buggy and unstable. Reporting issues helps us make the final product much better.

Our Roadmap for v5.0.0

A Message From The CEO

I would like to say thank you to everyone. You guys have supported Tasks in so many ways and it really helps me as a business owner, and as a person myself. It encourages me to improve and innovate on this project so much more. Even though some times may be difficult, or some features are hard to implement, I still try anyways. And this goes for everyone too, you should follow your dreams and don't give up.

Thank you,

• Matty

• We are aware that any registry key-defined programs that run on startup cannot be disabled, we are working on a fix.

Plans for Next Update

This is a new part of the changelog where we give a brief explanation of what we want to add to the next version.

We want to make Tasks more universal so anyone from any country can use it without language issues, which is why in the next update we will be focused on adding translations for docs, in-app features, and more. In the distant future, we have plans on adding In-App Updating, so you don't need to re-download the .zip on every release.

We also think that since Tasks is growing and more features are being stabilized, we will need to improve the main menu, and eventually add more tools for computer optimization.

This release comes with multiple bug fixes and improvements. Before we get into the patch notes, I want to tell everyone thank you! I was not expecting Tasks to blow up, within 24~48 hours of Tasks v2.1.0, IT HAD MORE THAN 200+ DOWNLOADS!!! This update is focused towards improvements to features that may have been neglected previously, or had little attention in other releases.

If there is anything I missed, any improvements, issues, and more. Report them here!

Additions

• You can now run / create new tasks in Task Manager!
• Remove Bloatware now works!

Improvements

• Made the Close button in About more larger.
• Renamed "End Process" to "End Task" (since task manager)
• Renamed "Create Process" to "New Task" (makes more sense)
• More backend code cleaning (@unknownbruh)

Removals

• No removals!

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a bug where very rarely Startup Programs would throw an error without a catch.
• Fixed a bug where the application will throw an uncatched error for some cleanups.
• Fixed a typo in an error message that would show up if it could not kill Edge.
• Fixed a debug error in "Cleanup" while cleaning Chrome Cache
• Fixed the consistency of "Error while cleaning" messages in Cleanup.
• (Fixed a bug where Remove Bloatware did not work, also listed in Additions)

Known Issues

• Task Manager will still freeze for 30-60 seconds on opening.
• On very small devices, Tasks may not readjust correctly and some buttons will be inaccessible.
• Taskkilling is not yet available for Task Manager at this time :(
• Disabling Startup Programs is also not available at this time :(
  (Don't worry! We have been trying to fix these issues, and maybe in the next version they'll be fixed)

This release is focused on patching bugs and stabilization, the next version will be more focused towards feature additions. As said before, any bugs I missed please report them here. Due to burnout reasons, the next version will be delayed for a while, and I might release minor patches if there are any issues (Probably only fixing like 1-3 bugs each patch). The release format for these will be 2.1.x., since as said before is not a huge release.

Also, huge updates will probably take a month to release, minor updates will take 2-3 weeks.
Things highlighted with bold text like this means that this was a huge change implemented.

Also, thank you to @unknownbruh for helping with code cleaning and more.
