Changelog

v1.1.2

• QOL improvements to the patcher! No more regional language checks on Windows or dependency checks on macOS/Linux, as everything that is needed to be done on the patcher is now natively done thanks to libWiiSharp and VCDiff.

• Some channel names change depending on region/language chosen during installation.

v1.1.1

• Demae Deliveroo added to WiiLink Patcher! Can only be used in select EU countries where Deliveroo operates in.
