Marcs Updater

There have been some reports about issues with the Updater not updating anymore. Please try the latest beta version and switch to another IP Check provider instead of the previous default dnsomatic.com. For some reason they are rate-limiting the number of requests to their service. The new IP Check provider selection allows you to choose another provider in such cases. You can test the functionality with the new "Test" panel.

If you want to add a custom provider to the unstable testing version, store a JSON file like the following under %PROGRAMDATA%\Marcs Updater\ServiceProviders\dyndns.json:

{
    "name": "DynDNS.org (Test)",
    "endpoint": "https://members.dyndns.org/nic/update",
    "method": "GET",
    "queryString": "hostname={HOSTNAME}&myip={MYIP}",
    "dataPayload": "",
    "defaults": {
        "username": "test",
        "password": "test",
        "hostname": "test1.customtest.dyndns.org"
    }
}

Supported query and payload tags are {USERNAME}, {PASSWORD}, {HOSTNAME} and {MYIP}. Restart the background service and foreground application to apply any changes.

You meant "Released version 1.5.0.263", right? :) Anyway, on the version installed on my computer (I think it's the latest, I am almost 100% sure) it says "Build 264" in the About tab of app's GUI. Is this correct or maybe there's a numbering error?

Yeah, I screwed up the numbers twice. The message above should read 1.5.0.263, as you said. And the installer and program have different version numbers. The installer says 1.5.0.263 and the program says 1.5.0.264.

I guess it's ok for now and it will be fixed as soon as another version is released, but thanks for the notification.
