14 October 2021
   [v3.1.0 - Revision 0]

     Change log:
        -GUI: Re-sized main frame and re-organized layout on install and browse tabs
        -Installed game list: re-implement legacy data parsing (pre v3.0.4 - Revision 4) and maintain latest data parsing | latest style ensures compatibility with Winhiip, while legacy style ensured support for HDLGI, the usage on one or another will be determined by the presence of DMA mode (wich was absent on APA headers made by winhiip)

FULL CHANGELOG:
https://github.com/israpps/HDL-Batch-installer/blob/main/Release/changes.log

• Program startup: Added command line arguments support (arguments will be documented on github and batch file provided with the program
• GUI: the GUI won't stay on top of other programs anymore (however, such behavior can be re-enabled by passing a command line argument)
• Console: Added a console text redirection, when the specific command line argumment is provided, every text output that takes place after translation loading will be redirected into text files located on the 'logs' folder
• Program calls: Replaced custom process redirection from the last two places where it was being used, now that module was completely removed...
• Game list: Added compatibility to properly (i hope so) list games installed by outdated software

A custom piece of code was used to call programs and pass their output on real time.

That custom piece of code was replaced with a standard wxwidgets call


From now on the GUI will stay on top of every window

A custom piece of code was used to pass console output on real time for both installation and game extraction features, on this update that custom piece of code was replaced with a standard wxwidgets call.

Also, the GUI will remain on top of every window from now on.
