v1.0.8

v1.0.8 has several updates and bug fixes. Some notable callouts:

• On windows, there is no longer a 2 minute delay on service startup. Further, this setting is adjusted on autoupdate.
• There are a handful of performance improvements relating to how timers are used
• There is a fix for two desktop icons appearing. Note while this fixes an underlying cause, it cannot clean up the stale icon. You will need to reboot (or manually kill the process) to repair
