5 (long) days have passed since the previous release... While the app is (still πŸ˜’) not ready for primetime, another much requested feature:
Backup DBs to Google Drive has been implemented! That's all folks, for this release.

RERO -> Release Early Release Often! πŸ˜‰

Hope next release gets you more excited. πŸ˜€

Here are the changes for the folks who find above paragraph too big to read:

  • Backup MySQL DBs directly to Google Drive!
  • New and improved logic and implementation of Upload code.
  • Mechanism to upload the log.txt file to your Google Drive! This file will help me debug and understand the problems you users are facing.
    Just click the "Sign Out/ Switch User" button and the logs will be uploaded to your Google Drive. I request you all to kindly share that file with me.
  • Improved support for x86 architecture.
  • New logic to decide which version of software to use in case multiple ones being installed. The app currently defaults to the most recent version, with preference to 64bit version on 64bit systems.

Responsible Disclosure: I am currently investigating issues with the storage of user credentials by the app. Your refresh_token is saved in a directory .AUtDv2-creds, but the directory DOES NOT get hidden properly. Until this issue is fixed, you are advised to be aware of this fact. If you wish, please delete the folder when your work with the app is over.

Please remember that the app developer (ie. me) DOES NOT get access to your passwords (or even usernames, for that matter). The saved credentials may only cause annoyance as you may find your files getting uploaded to someone else's drive.

Also, a very happy birthday to my dear friend [REDACTED #4] πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‚ 🍰 🍰 πŸŽ‚ πŸŽ‰ May all your dreams come true!
