Release v4
Auto-generated release version for build 26accc1a68b33ba467820bf794f52630fcfa0df2
- temporary hotfix for Origin hanging on startup with "Connecting to Origin..." (#63)
- note that it will ask you to login again every single time you open the app, which is still an improvement over the app refusing to launch at all
- the original problem seems to be caused by a change on EA's login backend (they might end up reversing it at any point in time), causing some inconsistent behavior around the cookie used for "Keep me signed in" checkbox
- the cause of this issue is some obscure bug in Origin/Qt related to setting cookie, I'm still poking around thinking of a better solution in the meantime, but wanting to release this version as-is for now regardless...
- fixes update check for valid Origin updates
- apparently EA has released an update to Origin at

, version10.5.129
, downloadable manually at: https://origin-a.akamaihd.net/Origin-Client-Download/origin/live/OriginUpdate_10_5_129_55742.zip - my patch for hiding broken updates accidentally hid good updates too, this version fixes that
- EA has used a wrong link to the update URL, this version patches it manually to the correct one
- this means that after updating the patch, you may be prompted for update if you didn't disable them manually, it's fine to let it update, but then remember you have to re-install the patch once again afterwards
- I don't know what was changed in the update, but at least it seems nothing was broken
- apparently EA has released an update to Origin at
- small improvement: don't copy original version.dll to temp directory (#49, contributed by @whindsaks)
