Chronos 0.4.0 Released!

Hey everyone!

Chronos 0.4.0 has been released, which includes an updater! I've ironed out a few bugs, including a bug which prevented personal events having timers longer than 100 seconds (thanks to Anonymous for the report).
The file structure of Chronos has also been significantly changed, so this means that you can not simply update your executable with this version. Don't worry, I don't expect to make file structure changes ever again. Hopefully, for the first and last time, here are the steps on how to update and keep your current data:

1) Go to your current Chronos directory.
2) Back up your entire Chronos directory to a different location.
3) Download a fresh install of Chronos from the Downloads page (the full RAR)
4) Extract the files back to your original Chronos directory, or to wherever you like
5) Run the fresh install of Chronos and then close it
6) Go to your backup of Chronos and copy all of your .chronos files
7) Go back to your fresh install of Chronos and paste all of your .chronos files into the ChronosServer or ChronosClient folder (depending on your version)
8) Open Chronos, go to your update settings on the Basic Settings page and change your update URL to http://chronostimers.info/Chronos/

That should be it!

If you're wondering, the Icons folder can now be found in the ChronosData folder.

New users of Chronos can simply download the full installation and follow the instructions on the Downloads page as normal.

As always, please report any bugs with the updater or Chronos itself either by commenting on the blog or Emailing chronosdevelopment@gmail.com!

Thanks,

Larks.
