WINK Streaming — Security Center Tools
=====================================
Version 1.0.1.0
Part number: WINK-SC-TOOLS-1.0.1

Release focus: Genetec Marketplace certification submission.


Rebrand: the GUI is now "WINK SecurityCenterTools"
--------------------------------------------------

APIBridge Metro has been rebranded as **WINK SecurityCenterTools** in
v1.0.1. This is user-visible only -- the Windows executable filename
(APIBridge.Metro.exe) and the internal .NET namespace (APIBridge.Metro.*)
are unchanged so any scripts, shortcuts, or installers referencing
those identifiers continue to work.

What changed:
  * Window title bar
  * Application header inside the app
  * About dialog / assembly metadata (product name)
  * Start Menu shortcut
  * Manual filename and title
  * Post-install messaging

What did NOT change:
  * APIBridge.Metro.exe filename
  * APIBridge.Metro .NET namespace
  * users.json shared file format
  * Registry keys, install path, uninstall AppId
  * WINKSCData console name (that keeps its identity)


What's new in 1.0.1
-------------------

Credentials are now encrypted at rest
   The users.json file used by both the GUI and the console is stored
   as a DPAPI envelope (Windows Data Protection API, CurrentUser
   scope). Existing plaintext users.json files from v0.9 are still
   read and auto-migrated on the next Save.

   Practical implication: users.json can only be decrypted by the
   Windows user account that wrote it, on the same machine. Copying
   the file to another user or machine will not work -- click "Save
   Credentials" in the GUI on the target machine to re-encrypt.

Visual C++ 2019/2022 x64 Redistributable is chained
   The installer now detects whether the VC++ runtime is present
   (Registry: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\14.0\VC\Runtimes\x64,
   Major >= 14, Minor >= 20). If missing, the installer silently runs
   VC_redist.x64.exe before finishing. Re-installs skip it. No manual
   step required on any target machine.

Manuals bundled with the installer
   Both the GUI manual and the console manual are now installed at
   %ProgramFiles%\WINKStreaming\SecurityCenterTools\Documentation.
   Start Menu shortcuts open them in the default markdown viewer.


Corrections
-----------

Apply Associations GUI behavior clarified
   The GUI's "Apply Associations" tab renames analog monitors to
   reflect intended camera-to-decoder pairings. It does NOT push SDK
   video routing -- previous documentation (v0.9) incorrectly claimed
   it did. Only the console command WINKSCData.exe --applyassociations
   invokes ActionManager.DisplayOnAnalogMonitor.

   See the updated WINK SecurityCenterTools Manual §5.3 and the WINKSCData
   Console Manual §5.5 for the full clarification.


Certification alignment
-----------------------

Version 1.0.1 is the target build for Genetec Marketplace certification.

The updated manuals include a detailed SDK privilege requirements
appendix (Metro Manual §7) covering the minimum-privilege set the
tools need on each SDK write path, and how to diagnose blank-fields
symptoms via the built-in Connectivity & Permissions tab.


Installation
------------

Run WINK-SecurityCenterTools-Setup-1.0.1.0.exe as Administrator.
Component picker lets you choose Metro (GUI), Console, or both.

Default install location:
   %ProgramFiles%\WINKStreaming\SecurityCenterTools

Uninstall preserves user-edited users.json files.
