Old Changelogs
These changelogs are from older versions of Drew's App Launcher before it was called UXL Launcher. I copied them from the Drew's App Launcher wiki for the most part.
All text is the same as the original text except for some formatting and fixing stuff Markdown doesn't like.
32-Bit Edition:
VERSION 2.5
V. 2.5 Update 0: Added seperate "Version History" windows for both
32-bit and 64-bit editions for times that updates cover only
one edition.
____________
VERSION 2.4
V. 2.4 Update 3.1: Minor bug fixes. Added the "Version History"
pane for 32-bit.
V. 2.4 Update 2: Added a few new features (not sure if it was both editions
or what.)

This is the first version to:
- Be licensed under the Gnu GPL v3+ and Drew's Modification Exception, officially.
- Return to the "X.Y.Z" version numbering after I started the "X.Y. Update Z" system.
- Released after being uploaded to GitHub.
- Released as a public release.
I recommend that you read the old changelogs in the Wiki. Be sure to read the Readme file in the archive, too.

Just like with the 64-bit version, the new 2.7 release for my app launcher is here!
Below this text are the Zip file to extract and the source code! I will update this box with the changelog when I get that done. I will also create an installer in a few days.
There's a README file in the archive, so be sure to read it.
EDIT 3/3/2016: Alright. I got the changelog done. Here it is. I hope you like long changelogs!
Added:
++ Options window: User can now decide whether to view the changelog feed in the default browser or using the old integrated page. This option is in the form of a checkbox and is automatically checked by default. If this checkbox is unchecked, the "Version History" buttons on the About page will open a small window with a WebBrowser control pointing to "C:\resources.drew_general\rss_feeds\drews-apps_office32launch-rss.html," or whatever the relevant file is for that button. If the checkbox is checked, however, the buttons will simply point the default browser to the RSS feed directly. The text for the checkbox changes depending on if the checkbox is checked or not.
++ Options window: Added a "Clear" button to clear the Office Drive Location textbox.
++ Code changes: Added a "Region" around the Office application launcher code section to tuck it away when modification isn't required.
++ Probably introduced a few bugs.
Modified or Changed:
// Options window: Moved portions of the UI down and resized the window to accommodate the new changelog feed style thing option.
// Options window: Resized the bottom of the Office Drive Location groupbox up to reduce wasted space.
// Options window: Anchored the buttons at the bottom so that I don't have to try to make them perfectly aligned with the bottom of the window when I resize it.
// Options window: A panel is now 2 pixels wider. Or taller.
// Options window: The buttons at the bottom of the window are slimmer to match the text on the button. Please let me know if this causes any problems.
// About tab: Updated the version number (obviously.)
// Code changes: Updated the changelog display code (Version History buttons on About tab) to accommodate the new "changelog presentation" option.
// Code changes: Updated some code comments, such as "'Save the settings for the "Drive Selector" textbox and other settings if I implement them," is now "'This is where to look up the drive for launching the programs." The reason for this comment being changed in particular is because I put in a section for the changelog checkbox display thing option and it has its own code comment in the My.Settings section.
Removed:
-- Code changes: Removed every instance of "System.Diagnostics" from the code because it seems like it could be a security risk, besides the fact that it doesn't seem to help with opening my websites. If I still have any "System.Diagnostics" in my code, please let me know.
-- Code changes: Removed excess code for the TextBox1_TextChanged event in the OptionsWindow32.vb file. There was literally no actual code in that block.
Deprecated:
!! Support will be removed for the old internal changelog pages BY VERSION 3.0. Version 3.0 is planned to be a stable version, and will not support the HTML RSS feed files. However, the "Version History" buttons in the About tab will go straight to the feed on my website in the default browser.
!! Even though this is only stated in the application itself, the "Version History" textbox on the right side of the About tab (not the "Version History" buttons which go to the RSS feed) will be removed in the future, probably by the time version 3.0 is released. If you miss that column, don't worry because I put all the old version history text on the Wiki on my GitHub repositories for the App Launcher. By version 2.9 the textbox should state something along the lines of "This textbox will be removed by version 3.0. If you would like to read the old changelogs for this application, please visit the Wiki at " If you look at that textbox in the application, you'll already notice that I don't care about it at all, especially the formatting.
