Jan 15
Version 1.6.5 of File Tracking Client was released containing bug fixes that are meant to smooth up the whole application.
First of all the windows and dialogs were fixed so if they are rescaled, all their inner components change their size correspondingly.

Previously, there was a building instruction file in the root but it was a bit complicated to follow because there are some cumbersome steps in this process.
