Only three-ish months after version 3.3, UXL Launcher Version 3.4 is ready for the release candidate stage. If all goes well, two weeks from now the stable version will be released.

Before I get into the main paragraph, **this version fixes a security vulnerability where the `officeDriveLocation` could be set to something like `https://google.com/search?q=`, which would result in the user being sent to a Google search for whatever app they clicked on, or worse**. This is now fixed, and I **highly** recommend updating to this version. It should be safe to update to the release candidate version as there shouldn't be too many changes between now and the final. While most people probably wouldn't run into that issue, it's still something that needs to be solved as **the config file the app ships with could be modified too; it's not just the one in `LocalAppData` that's a concern**.

This is now fixed, and I **highly** recommend updating to this version. It should be safe to update to the release candidate version as there shouldn't be too many changes between now and the final. There will be a 3.3.1 update published for those who want a stable version with this fix. While most people probably wouldn't run into that issue, it's still something that needs to be solved as **the config file the app ships with could be modified too; it's not just the one in `LocalAppData` that's a concern**.

This time, other than that last-minute security fix, the main focus was on re-arranging stuff in the Options window so that the options that probably would be used the most are easier to access. Many controls in the Options window had their text changed to be more specific with what they're for, as well. With the end of support for Office 2010, the defaults have been updated to be Office 2019 with 64-bit Office on 64-bit Windows (or 32-bit Office on 32-bit Windows), as Microsoft now recommends 64-bit Office with Office 2019. Besides that, there are a few other new features and changes that may be of interest. Please be sure to read the Readme included with this version of UXL Launcher or [online](https://github.com/DrewNaylor/uxl-launcher/blob/master/docs/readmes/readme-v3.4-rc1.txt) as it has important info. Also refer to the [System Requirements](https://github.com/DrewNaylor/UXL-Launcher/wiki/System-Requirements).
