Changed the post-release update handling to now support (but is not recommended) a never mode in response to a user complaining about the OS requirements for a start menu shortcut to be created so this handling can then show the buttons on the OS toast indicating a post-release update is available (I don't like having to create a shortcut but bitching at me about it just isn't the right place to do it)
Fixed the possible reason for some setups experiencing a deadlock when using notsodirect when a volume change occurs (e.g. on starting playback of a new item)
Removed the pucaw supporting dll to avoid core loading failures if the dll is being blocked by the OS (as has happened for some) plus the reason for it being separate has been resolved as part of moving to a newer compiler so we also got a small saving on the install due to having one less dll
Remove the "Position/Frequency (floating point)" option from the notsoyasapi preferences as the integer option is the one that works & is the default anyway (the removed option would break the main vis)
Updated vgmstream (in_vgmstream.dll) to the latest Git commit from 9 Jul 2026
