Changes

• NCover Explorer presents a more informative message if an expired trial key is already on the machine when NCover Explorer starts up.
• NCover now waits 1 second (down from 60) before deciding that a covered application (or service) will not start. This change helps mitigate NCover's impact on the system when its * environment isn't cleaned up correctly because it was unexpectedly and forcefully shutdown.
• Deprecated the //h argument on NCover.Console.exe.
• Updated the way NCE handles project settings and re-worked the project settings screen to support it.
• Matching coverage file, trend file, and log file paths are now detected. NCover will refuse to run if any of the paths match any of the other paths.

Bug Fixes

• Using NCover to cover IIS or a service and a normal executable would not work from the NCover.Console command line.
• Fixed a licensing error that happened when NCoverExplorer.Console was run on a x64 machine after being installed by the x86 installer.
• The Actipro EULA extension was "hml" instead of "html".
• Under certain conditions, NCover Console could throw an exception while trying to stop all the dependent services of the service it wanted to cover.
• NCover v1.5.8 coverage files were incorrectly merging with each other.
• Fixed class signature for generic classes -- NCover wasn't correctly generating the information that identified the class as generic.
• Fixed method signatures for generic return and parameter types, in which one or the other or both was a generic class.
• Fixed console output documentation for NCover Reporting.
• Fixed the directory path popup to disappear when the field it is for loses focus.
• NCover Explorer didn't support relative paths in the "Working Directory" field.
• NCover Explorer was treating rebased paths case-sensitively.
• NCover Explorer would sometimes crash after closing a coverage file if a rebased path had been removed from the coverage file.
• When merging, NCover would treat assemblies that differed only in the case of their name as separate assemblies.
• NCover Explorer didn't save changes to exclusions or inclusions once the "Project Settings" window was closed.
• The working folder wasn't being kept in sync with the application path even when the "keep in sync" checkbox was checked.
• Fixed the "ghost" border on the splash screen.
• Fixed project and settings import from NCoverExplorer 1.4 and earlier.
