Changelog

General:

Started to release standalone builds for Windows (no Java installation required)
Added option to disable startup folder scanning in the first-run wizard
Fixed fully played status sometimes not saving

Languages:

Updated translations via Crowdin

As of 730, we are releasing standalone builds These are the same as the other builds with one difference - they use an internal version of Java This is good for a couple of reasons:

You don't need to have Java installed on your computer to run standalone versions of UMS
You will still need it for other Java applications, but if you don't have any of those you don't need it anymore
You can avoid problems caused by different versions of Java
Using our standalone builds means you are using our recommended version of Java Particularly newer versions are causing problems for many users, so this is a good way to avoid those problems These builds will use the internal Java version even if you have other ones installed on your computer, ensuring that UMS will use the best version for itself
