System requirements

Make sure to install .NET Core Runtime 3.1.x. If you already have the .NET Core Desktop Runtime 3.1.x used for the survival and asset editors, you can skip this step.
Download the .zip file.
Unzip its contents.
Run the executable (.exe file) inside the folder.

The source code can be found on GitHub.

The application does not display misleading stats in the menu or lobby anymore.
Improved update messages.
Fixed tiny bug where getting the very same score as a dagger time would display the score in the wrong color.
Implemented API updates as preparation for a new leaderboard category.

Implemented custom improved colors.
Fixed not resetting homing after death.
Fixed user highlight being unreadable for 'Default' dagger scores.
Improved anti-cheat.
Implemented collecting graph data for custom leaderboards. This is only stored in the database for now and not yet displayed on the website.

Rewrote much of the application.
Removed dependencies.
Ported to .NET Core. Application is no longer dependent on .NET Framework and does not require .NET Framework 4.6.1.
Fixed crash that occurred when setting a very large custom font size.
Added icon.
Renamed 'Shots' to 'Daggers'.
Fixed resetting homing to 0 just before detecting player death.
Fixed writing level up difference when previous highscore did not achieve that level.
Fixed not being able to read current upgrade and homing count in some Devil Daggers instances due to malformed pointer chains.

Fixed ascending leaderboards displaying incorrect dagger colors and statistic differences.

Leaderboards and run info are now displayed in the console when the player died.
Added colors for daggers, deaths, and statistic differences.
Fixed floating point imprecision issues with the leaderboard database.
The program now shows a warning when homing and level up times are not being detected. This warning will be triggered after collecting the first gem. The problem can be resolved by restarting Devil Daggers. It happens about 1 out of 10 times for me and seems to appear randomly. I'm still investigating what causes it.

Compatibility and maintenance updates related to the website.
The application is renamed to Devil Daggers Custom Leaderboards again for consistency with the other tool names.

Improved way of detecting survival file cheats; there is no need to record the entire run anymore.
Fixed log file not being written to.
Implemented "Speedrun" category leaderboards.

Compatibility update due to some internal bug fixes which aren't related to the application directly.

Fixed inconsistent spawnset hashing. The hashing system is no longer dependent on files. This fixes the problem where some spawnsets wouldn't work if they were downloaded directly from the website rather than imported via Devil Daggers Survival Editor.

The program now tells you when there is an update available and warns you when the current version is no longer accepted by the server.

Added logging.
Some improvements in the layout and better feedback for when runs don't upload.
Crash fixes and internal clean up. The "out of bounds" error shouldn't occur anymore when starting the application before starting Devil Daggers.
Console is no longer resizable so it doesn't mess with the layout.
Added a retry count for when the upload fails. Usually it retries 3 times and stops after that, waiting for you to restart a run.

Lots of internal clean up, improvements, and fixes.
Program now outputs what values it submits to the server.
Program only retrieves the spawnset hash during the first second of the run so people cannot cheat by changing the survival file during the run. If you start the program later than 1 second after the run starts, the hash will not be calculated and your submission will be marked as invalid and not upload.
The server now has a minimal version it will accept submissions from.

Application now uses .NET Framework 4.6.1 rather than 4.7.2.
Fixed bug where level up values don't reset when you restart a run.
Prevented replays from uploading so people won't submit runs to the wrong leaderboard by intentionally replacing the survival file during the replay.

Made application Windows-only because scanning memory for other operating systems will work differently anyway.
Enforced en-US culture to fix broken submissions on PCs that use commas as decimal separators.
Fixed usernames being limited to 4 characters.
Prevented submissions with 0.0000 time from uploading by setting a time constraint of a minimum of 2.5 seconds.
