Release v6

Auto-generated release version for build 27c44b8bd6552874f5543255d4eaaadfa82400b1

• fix for Origin update from older versions to 10.5.129 (didn't notice that it was still broken, sorry!; fixes #65)
  • you can now update either via Origin's auto-update or download the full installer from README again if that fails

Copying remaining changelog from previous version for visibility:

• proper hotfix for Origin hanging on startup with "Connecting to Origin..." (discussion: #63)
  • will not ask you to log in to Origin every time anymore like v4, yay!
• fixes update check for valid Origin updates
  • apparently EA has released an update to Origin at 2024-11-25, version 10.5.129, downloadable manually at: https://origin-a.akamaihd.net/Origin-Client-Download/origin/live/OriginUpdate_10_5_129_55742.zip
  • my patch for hiding broken updates accidentally hid good updates too, this version fixes that
  • EA has used a wrong link to the update URL, this version patches it manually to the correct one
  • this means that after updating the patch, you may be prompted for update if you didn't disable them manually, it's fine to let it update, but then remember you have to re-install the patch once again afterwards
  • I don't know what was changed in the update, but at least it seems nothing was broken
• small improvement: don't copy original version.dll to temp directory (#49, contributed by @whindsaks)

Release v5

Warning

↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓

Release v4

Auto-generated release version for build 26accc1a68b33ba467820bf794f52630fcfa0df2

• temporary hotfix for Origin hanging on startup with "Connecting to Origin..." (#63)
  • note that it will ask you to login again every single time you open the app, which is still an improvement over the app refusing to launch at all
  • the original problem seems to be caused by a change on EA's login backend (they might end up reversing it at any point in time), causing some inconsistent behavior around the cookie used for "Keep me signed in" checkbox
  • the cause of this issue is some obscure bug in Origin/Qt related to setting cookie, I'm still poking around thinking of a better solution in the meantime, but wanting to release this version as-is for now regardless...
• fixes update check for valid Origin updates
  • apparently EA has released an update to Origin at 2024-11-25, version 10.5.129, downloadable manually at: https://origin-a.akamaihd.net/Origin-Client-Download/origin/live/OriginUpdate_10_5_129_55742.zip

Release v3

Auto-generated release version for build f14a17a797c84b2d0b5a4af1952bbb839abe41e4

Changelog:

• ignore the broken update that EA released to brick your Origin after restart¹
• do not let user install the mod if they didn't install Origin already (being more fool-proof)
• treat all content updates as non-mandatory (to allow launching games without updates)²

^{1 This means that you shouldn't need to edit the `EACore.ini` file to disable updates anymore in order to use Origin at all.
2 Bonus feature, because forced game updates are sometimes annoying.}

Note from author: Sorry this took this embarrasingly long to release an update that should have taken a few days max, I couldn't get around to do it...
