Auto Updates!
No more guessing if you have the latest version of Windower or the plugins! Every time you launch Windower 4, it will check and make sure all of your files are up to date and update them accordingly! Getting new plugins is equally as easy! Just click on the "Plugins" menu in the launcher and download the ones you want. Try it out!
Video Recording!
The new "//video" command has been added to Windower 4. Typing //video into the chat box will start recording video and save it locally to your "videos" folder in your Windower directory. Format: //video start <xRes> <yRes> <fps> <quality>

Lua Scripting!
Version 4.0 sees the addition of a Lua API. This is the first time the project has opened its doors to outside develpers. Our Lua code repository is completely open source and we encourage anyone to develop addons using Lua and release them to the community! For more info on getting started,
we have a wiki setup and to see our repository of open source addons,
check out the code repository! We look forward to seeing what you guys make!
More Developer Friendly!
The Open-Source Lua API is just the beginning. As of 4.0, Windower now natively supports true IPC. Windower plugins/addons can now communicate with other instances natively. We've also updated WindowerHelper.dll to get rid of most of the long standing issues (such as the 8-argument max for commands and ability to catch commands fired in rapid succession). Also, we've added more new developers to the team in the last year than any other year in the project's history! Interested in contributing more to the project? Just
make your presence known in our forums and get to know us. We're always looking for people to help bring new fun things to the project!
