Version 2.3.125

- ByCrom is now able to dynamically understand where the custom interface files are located inside the client's folder structure. This means it works on the current TestLive client, and will work without breaking on future AoC releases even if the client's directories structure is changed, provided the folder where the "Default" and "Customized" folders belong is still named "Gui".
- Fixed a bug that caused ByCrom to not recognize some client files as protected by the patcher when there were more than 256 files in a single folder. This bug didn't have any practical consequence on the Live client.
- Updated the download page address on Curse.com
- Removed the link pointing to ConanMods.com as the site doesn't seem to work anymore.

v. 2.2.110

no-reply@curseforge.com (Nefersety) — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 10:43:42 +0000

Version 2.2.110

- Added a new option to allow ByCrom to remove all bxml files also when patching a customized UI (Before it was only available when using the cleanup option). Credit goes to Alrond for suggesting this improvement.
- Added a new option that forces ByCrom to leave the content of the "scripts" folder untouched when the Cleanup operation is performed. Although it can be useful when using scripts, if activated could result in an incomplete uninstall of some UIs, like Mirage, that include scripts.
- Further improved the version recognition engine. Now ByCrom will be able to read the customized UI xml file version even when the author has unintentionally changed the format of the file header, provided it still follows Funcom's guidelines albeit loosely. In these cases it will try to "repair" the header while patching the file.
- Solved an issue that prevented the Cleanup option from removing read-only folders.
- When a new version is released, ByCrom will now open both the Curse and the ConanMods pages.

v. 2.0.98

no-reply@curseforge.com (Nefersety) — Sat, 20 Sep 2008 08:53:16 +0000

Version 2.0.98

- Added a new functionality that, if possible, automatically optimizes x86 versions of Windows XP / Vista to minimize the chance of getting memory related issues while playing AoC.
- Added the amount of maximum memory available to AoC in the log header
- Every time you start ByCrom, it will automatically check for updates and prompt the user to download the new version if it's been released.

v. 1.8.50

no-reply@curseforge.com (Nefersety) — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 07:56:01 +0000

Version 1.8.50

- Optimized performances of the version update engine. It is now quicker in disk read/write operations on those machines that have a slow disk subsystem.
- Removed a limit by design that prevented the cleanup option from deleting folders and files that didn't belong to the game client when they were inside folders that were not protected by the patcher. The cleanup option is now able to remove any unneeded file and folder, no matter what its position is.
- Following feedback from some users that found the maintenance options text difficult to understand, I have redesigned the interface to explain any option better and in a simpler language.
- As a consequence, the log has been greatly reduced in size. To compensate for this, the log size will be automatically increased when a maintenance operation is run, unless the form has been resized by the User to give the log enough space. There are two new buttons that allow the User to manually expand/minimize the log at will.

v. 1.6.41

no-reply@curseforge.com (Nefersety) — Sat, 23 Aug 2008 09:10:15 +0000

Version 1.6.41

- Added a browse (...) button that allows the user to manually provide the location of her/his Age of Conan client. Useful when for any reason automatic detection fails, or the User has more than one client installed.
- When automatic detection fails and a manual location is provided, ByCrom attempts to repair the registry information about the Funcom's Age of Conan last installed client key.

v. 1.5.35

no-reply@curseforge.com (Nefersety) — Fri, 22 Aug 2008 10:39:37 +0000

Version 1.5.35

- Fixed a client detection problem on some 64 bit systems
- Various interface tweaks and optimizations.
- Added the Cleanup option, which automatically uninstalls any file that doesn't belong to the AoC Client.
