v0 Alpha 10 (v0.0.0.10)
- Patching system is now 'dynamic' and new patch definitions are downloaded automatically from the web. This means as new versions of the files are released by Microsoft (and I find the changes) the program will automatically be able to handle them
- Added patch definitions for SP1
- Fixed a major issue that occurred when your system didn't use the hidden system partition
- Added winresume.exe support (screen shown when resuming from hibernation)
- Separated the core from the interface so new interfaces (like an installer) could easily be made
- Created a new command-line interface

- No longer supports being run in Windows XP and requires .NET Framework 4.0

- Major overall to how things work (no longer requires Test-Signing!)

- You can now preview the boot animation in the program
- Animation selection is much more lenient
