AppSnap 1.2.1

AppSnap is an application that simplifies installation of software. It automatically figures out the latest version, downloads the installer and then installs the software in one seamless step. AppSnap is primarily designed for Windows which does not have any decent package manager such as APT and RPM as in the Linux world.

What's New:
New Applications
- Internet : TightVNC
- Fun and Games : BZFlag, Celestia, Stellarium, TuxPaint, TuxPaint Stamps
- Development : MySQL
- Productivity : Blender3D, DeepBurner Free, Dia, Gimp

- Added support for zipped installers. AppSnap now extracts the ZIP and then
  executes the installer.
- All background actions are now performed in a separate thread to prevent the
  AppSnap GUI from locking up.

  with them. All impacted application scrape and download URLs updated.
- Fixed bug where AppSnap GUI was crashing in Windows 2000 since the install
  icon was not available in shell32.dll. Issue was not seen on XP and 2003 which
  had added a whole bunch of new icons.
- Fixed a bug where URLs with ?, & or = were returning 404 errors by PyCURL.
- Fixed bug of failed downloads being returned as successful in the GUI.
- Fixed Paint.NET and Picasa version scraping.
