0.9.7 - Mostly bug fixes with some new options

This update includes new options and fixes some bugs 🐛🐜🐞

Apart from bug fixes and translation updates, I expect the pace of updates to Get My IP to slow down as I turn my attention to projects that have been neglected for too long. When I return to Get My IP in 2024, I will be upgrading it to .NET 8, which was released earlier this month and is the next LTS version of .NET.

Changes:

• Fixed: Settings will now be saved every time a user navigates away from the Settings page. Settings were saved at shutdown, but this can be an issue with a long running application.
• Fixed: If a newer version of Get My IP is found when checking for an updated release from the About page, clicking OK in the resulting message box will now close Get My IP after navigating to the GitHub Releases page.
• Fixed: Only one Instance of Get My IP will be allowed to run at a time. This fixes the scenario described in Issue #51. Logging to a permanent log file is exempted from the only one instance rule.
• Fixed: Logging to a permanent log file was broken in d1e9f05. It now works correctly.
• Fixed: The list of translation contributors on the about page is now aligned correctly. This didn't cause any harm, it just bugged me.
• New: Added Free IP API as an IP information provider. It's good to have options.
• New: The list of IP information providers used by Get My IP is now available at the bottom of the about page.
• New: An option to show external IP type (IPv4 or IPv6) in the tray icon tooltip has been added.

v0.9.3 - Bug Fix and a New Feature

This update includes a bug fix and introduces language file testing

Mea Culpa:

First, an apology. The application folder name was inadvertently changed from GetMyIPto Get My IP a couple of releases back. If you updated to the latest release without uninstalling the previous version, the GetMyIP folder could be orphaned. If you open the C:\Users\your-user-name\AppData\Local\Programs\T_K\ folder and see both Get My IPand GetMyIP folders, you can delete the GetMyIP folder. The Get My IP folder will be used going forward. I'm sorry for this oversight.

Changes:

• Added: Language file testing. See the wiki topic for details. #26
• Fixed: Major bug when clicking the 'Map' button while using a language other than English. The bug would also manifest itself when IP information source was not ip-api.com. The map button will now be disabled when latitude and longitude are not available. #36
• Fixed: Navigation menu not resizing to fit content. #36
• Fixed: Settings page truncating content. #36
• Updated: Changed 'Cancel' to 'Close' in three-dot menu. #36
• Updated: Octokit dependency has been updated to the latest version.
