WinMute 2.1.1

This releases fixes some small issues with Bluetooth devices:

• Added a 5 second delay before unmuting the workstation, when a bluetooth device reconnects.
  This should prevent music blasting out of your pc, when the device is connected, but the audio endpoint has not been changed yet.
• Integrated Bluetooth muting into overall mute logic, so that the workstation is not unmuted, when it is locked but an audio bluetooth device reconnects.

Also:

• Improved UI when WLAN or Bluetooth is not available
• Switched from VS-Setup to InnoSetup

WinMute 2.1.0

• New feature: Mute your workstation when your Bluetooth device disconnects and un-mute it, when it reconnects ¹
  Thanks to @Rediwed for this feature-idea.
• Fixed saving SSID lists in WiFi settings dialogue

^{1. obviously only supported on Bluetooth enabled devices}

WinMute 2.0.0

Buckle up: Major reworks incoming!

• WinMute now mutes all audio endpoints and not just the default endpoint.
  It also stores all endpoint states and restores them if the appropriate option is set.
• Reworked mute detection logic. This should fix timing errors, e.g. when screensaver with screenlock is active and the display goes into standby.
• WinMute can now mute your computer when it is connected (alternatively when it is not connected) to a particular wireless network.
• Added detection for display standby
• Added detection for RDP sessions
• Added autostart option (no more fiddling with the startup folder)
• Added Hi-DPI awareness
• Added tray icon for bright system theme
• UI Rework (new settings and about dialog)
• Various fixes and improvements
• Tried to add a setup! (Maybe switching to InnoSetup in the future, this is the fairly basic Visual Studio one)
• Updated project to VS 2022 (Please re-check your installed Visual Studio runtime)

WinMute 1.9.9.3

WinMute now let's you mute your workstation depending on which wireless network you are connected to (or alternatively: are not connected to!).

WinMute Pre-Release: 1.9.9.2

• Added RDP detection
• New settings panel
• Tried improving the icons (help wanted ;))
• Various fixes and improvements
• Delete log file, when logging is disabled

WinMute Pre-Release: 1.9.9.1

This fixes two bigger issues with the 1.9.9 release:

• Fixed auto-start issue with WinMute, when using the new "run on startup" option.
• Fixed error message when not selecting "run on startup" in settings dialog.
• Reduced file size by 130kb by not using std::format (wt...?)

WinMute Pre-Release: 1.9.9

⚠ This version has been replaced by 1.9.9.1 as it contains a bug when using the new autostart feature. Please use 1.9.9.1 instead: https://github.com/lx-s/WinMute/releases/tag/1.9.9.1⚠️

---

WinMute 1.9.9 is the beta-version for a new 2.0-release.

This version contains substantial fixes and changes, that should hopefully fix all timing issues with various mute configurations users had with old WinMute versions.

Changelog (beta):

• Reworked mute detection. This should fix all timing errors. E. g. The screensaver with screenlock is active, and the display goes into suspend during that time.
• All audio endpoints are now muted instead of just the current default endpoint. WinMute also stores all endpoint states and restores them if the appropriate option is set.
• Added autostart option (no more fiddling with the startup folder)
• Added Hi-DPI Awareness
• Added Tray-Icon for bright system theme
• Added detection for display standby
• Some dialogs have seen some fresh paint
• Updated project to VS 2022

WinMute 1.6.0

WinMute 1.6.0 removes its 32-Bit version, fixes screensaver detection and adds new feature: Quiet Hours (thanks for the suggestion to @DasWookie).

In Detail:

• New Feature: Quiet Hours let's you choose a time frame, where WinMute automatically mutes your workstations an unmutes it afterwards.
• Fix: Screensaver detection was up until now limited to the bitness of WinMute: The 64-bit version only got notified by Windows that a screensaver started when the current foreground application was a 64-bit process and vice versa for 32 bit. WinMute 1.6.0 adds a 32-bit proxy application, so that it can detect a screensaver start regardless fo the bitness of the foreground application. Because of this WinMute no longer includes a 32-bit version.
• Fix: WinMute now better handles the use-case when you are using the secure screensaver setting, that locks your PC when you return.

WinMute 1.5.0

WinMute 1.5.0 adds new options to mute your Windows-PC on shutdown, logoff or suspend (thanks @zhudock for the suggestion).
This should come in handy, when waking the laptop for a presentation, but a youtube video is still running in browser ;).

Note that WinMute does not automatically restore the audio volume after reboot, logon or wake-up, as this would defeat the purpose.

WinMute 1.4.6

The "big thing" about this release are probably that WinMute is build with Visual C++ 2019s current spectre migitations. Otherwise the changes are purely cosmetic.

Changelog:

• Compiled with spectre migitations... just 'cause
• Added "Support"-Link to About dialog
• Small menu redesign.
