I put it in the v2.0.1 zip.  Maybe check your spam folder. I know I'm getting the emails.  The v2 releases are not on the auto updates yet until I know it's stable.

Nope, nothing in spam - I suspect it just doesn't like my email address

 

I'll do some testing...

I think I found the issue.  I may have been the only one getting the emails  :-/

Has anyone worked out what "Keep sharing new driver packs after downloads are finished"  means?

@glenn Yes, you become a seed to share the driver packs downloaded on the bittorrent network.

I put that function in there years ago because I couldn't figure out how to seed the drivers directory in the same update torrent.  Now I've figured it out I'm thinking the old function is redundant.

@glenn Quick question, I've been seeding the application and driver packs from my server to support the project and would love to keep contributing that way. Will this still be possible in the future?

Absolutely. The more seeders we have, the better. I've added a new function to encourage people to share. So now there's a choice of seeding via a torrent client or from within SDIO itself.  You may have noticed when SDIO v2 downloads the SDIO_Update.torrent file, it puts it in a sub-folder called "torrent" so you can use that in a client if you prefer.

I'm downloading updates again now. All good.
But I just have to say, that Clean theme is lovely. I just love the colors.  🙂

I used the Yaschir theme on the old version for years. I had to fix a few colors on that theme, but it was okay after that.
But Clean is my new theme now. 👏

@glen is it possible for the hardware-ignore list to be machine specific, rather like the log and state files? I share my SDIO install from a server so that it's accessible to my two workstations and some exclusions are only relevant to the specific machine e.g. on the server itself which is a VM it thinks I need some updates to the PCI Bus drivers but if I exclude it, it will also be excluded on the workstations where it's more relevant. I never actually update anything on the server as it's a VM, but just use it as an example.

You mean like put the host name into the file name?    eg:  HOST_hwid-ignore.txt

or possibly hwid-ignore_HOST.txt
