ViGEmBus Driver installer to be up to date. #31

Closed akaymd closed 2 months ago

akaymd commented 2 months ago

Development of the ViGEmBus Driver has been terminated, but fortunately we are still able to use it. However, the old version of the ViGEmBus Driver has security concerns. The domain vigem.org that the ViGEmBus Driver updater refers to no longer belongs to him, and future hijacking of the domain could result in unauthorized updates. (See his End of Life Statement for more information.)

vgamepad includes the installer of ViGEmBus Driver. Could you update this to the latest version ?

Thanks.

Hi, the version that we use is 1.17.333, we specifically use this one because it has no updater as far as I know?

akaymd commented 2 months ago

The patch notes for the latest version say "Removed updater entirely.", so I thought that versions prior to this included the updater. But, notes for 1.17.333 also say "No more auto-updater." I don't think there is any concern.

Thank you.

If the last version has no auto-updater either and if there are reasons to upgrade, we can upgrade. This just needs to be tested, 1.17.333 has been stable so far.

Eventually, we should switch to a community-supported edition if courageous people find the time to do this.
