of John’s Background Switcher version fixes a few bugs and makes some much needed tweaks to JBS in general.
Features and Changes:

Added a hidden setting to disable folder sorting (ask me if you want to switch it off)
Made some tweaks to the Google Photos UI as suggested by Google

Downloading the largest possible photos from Pixabay when required (JBS wasn’t always doing so)
Bug Fixes

I broke first time OneDrive and Google Photos authentication in 5.3 – my bad!

Added gallery support to Flickr
Four picture montages now use much larger pictures for improved photo quality
You can now edit No Draw Zones

Added the option to buy a license for JBS - just as a way to support it, there's no license-only functionality
Removed top artists from last.fm as it was broken
Added Google Photos favourites to the selection
For Hungarian users the shortcuts are disabled by default as they often conflict with other apps
Bug Fixes:
Fixed the settings file being locked and failing to save, thereby wiping out your settings on reboot

Full sized Flickr photos are now correctly rotated

Features and Changes:

12869: Update JBS to use the Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5

CHANGED: After over a decade of being built on Microsoft .NET 2.0 JBS has now moved with the times and is now built on .NET 4.5. What does this mean? It means new installs take less time (since Windows 8 and above include .NET 4.5 but had to install an older version when you installed JBS), some long standing bugs JBS had to workaround are no longer problems, it means JBS should be more stable and can have some cool new performance improvements added in the future. On the down side it means JBS no longer supports older versions of Windows than Vista. Bye bye Windows XP, it’s been fun!

12808: Pick up the date from RSS feeds

FEATURE: JBS now attempts to use the publication date as the photo date when handing MediaRSS photo feeds. Basically, if you show photo information you’ll now see the date too for RSS photos if it’s available.

Bug Fixes:

12897: 500px integration is broken due to TLS/SSL changes made to 500px

FIXED: 500px disabled the old, insecure TLS1 encryption protocol which broke JBS integration. This has now been corrected.

12826: Crash when authenticating with Dropbox and your web connection drops out

FIXED: This edge case has now been fixed – but you still need to sort that dodgy network connection out!

12871: The popup notifier window often shows cut off text

FIXED: Now you can see popup errors in all their glory!

12799: The calendar appears tiny on high DPI displays

FIXED: Now the calendar scales correctly with the display DPI and doesn’t require a magnifying glass to see.

Features and Changes:

12735: Add the option to change the collage tile size

FEATURE: You can now change the size of the photo collage tiles – just take a look at the ‘Montages’ section of ‘More Settings’. Since space is tight you’ll need to scroll down to change the sizes.

12419: Remove auto downloading of full sized pictures

CHANGED: While JBS has supported downloading and saving full-sized photos for many years, it turns out this behaviour is prohibited by some photo service API JBS uses so I’ve removed it. If you depended upon that functionality then you’ll have to use another app I’m afraid!

12564: Update Dropbox integration to use the v2 API

CHANGED: Dropbox has a new version of their API which JBS now supports. Unfortunately this means you’ll need to re-authenticate with Dropbox again as I’ve had to request a new API key from Dropbox to support the change.

12462: Explain the minimum size limitation in the help file

CHANGED: The help file wasn’t entirely clear on how the ‘only show pictures larger than x pixels’ feature worked. Now it is.

12731: Remove delicious from JBS

CHANGED: Since Pinboard has acquired delicious and it’s being killed off so has been removed from JBS.

12657: Remove Phanfare completely

CHANGED: Phanfare has migrated to SmugMug so has been removed from JBS completely.

Features and Changes:

12059: Remove all Instagram options except choosing from your own photos

CHANGED: Instagram no longer allows 3rd party applications to see your feed or search for photos – it will only allow access to your own photos, so JBS has to follow suit.

Bug Fixes:

12009: Random GDI+ errors in Windows 10 keep popping up

FIXED: Windows 10 has the option to sync your desktop between machines via OneDrive integration. This process would frequently lock the desktop image meaning JBS wouldn’t be able to change it (ironically) and result in the GDI+ error. In this case JBS tries again after a few seconds, hopefully long enough for Windows to sort itself out.

11811: Crash when adding a picture to a picture list when running in the Finnish language

FIXED: This problem has now been corrected.

12016: Sometimes 500px would return random photos unrelated to your selections

FIXED: As per the description, you’d choose one category but sometimes see photos from another. This has now been corrected.

Version 4.12 of John’s Background Switcher for Windows follows hot on the heels of 4.11 and resolves an issue on Windows 10 where running the JBS installer would result in an error complaining that the certificate was corrupt or invalid.

Features and Changes:

11682: Update Pixabay integration as the API has changed

CHANGED: Pixabay made a couple of small changes to their API so now JBS incorporates them. Yay!

11109: Remove Picasa web albums integration as Google deprecated the authentication mechanism

CHANGED: When Google Photos was released by Google they deprecated the authentication mechanism JBS used to access Picasa Web Albums. I’ve removed Picasa integration entirely and aim to add full Google Photos integration at some point in the future.

Bug Fixes:

11776: Update 500px integration to use full sized photos

FIXED: Now that 500px allows 3rd party applications to use full sized pictures JBS will now use the largest 500px photos it can for your desktop.

11710: last.fm authentication and integration is broken!

FIXED: Changes to the last.fm API meant JBS no longer worked properly. This has now been corrected.

11164: GDI+ error or missing montage pictures on the desktop

FIXED: Corrected a random GDI+ error – although I’m sure that’s not the last I’ll hear of it!

11110: Crash when getting albums from SmugMug

FIXED: This problem has now been corrected.

Contains a few minor fixes including removing friend-related Facebook functionality that Facebook no longer allows, the removal of Google image search functionality (boo!) and translation of the UI into Portuguese-Brazilian and Polish.

Features and Changes

9476: Change all Flickr URLs to use secure https ones

CHANGED: Flickr will shortly be deprecating their http API endpoints in favour of encrypted https ones. So in advance of that JBS now only interacts with Flickr over encrypted https.

9490: Add support for Reddit image feeds

FEATURE: You can now add reddit feeds to JBS and it’ll pick from any pictures in the feed. Feeds such as http://www.reddit.com/r/wallpaper.rss or http://www.reddit.com/r/spaceporn.rss and many more besides. You basically add “.rss” onto the end of the reddit URL and put it into the RSS Feeds section of JBS and you’re good to go!

9636: Add the option to restrict 500px searches by category (e.g. ‘fresh’ landscape photos)

FEATURE: You can now choose from any of the categories 500px has when selecting from Popular, Editors choice, Upcoming or Fresh photos if you want to narrow down the exact photos you want to see.

Bug Fixes

9224: If you used individual picture modes for picture sources then the collage mode wouldn’t be remembered

FIXED: No, you weren’t going crazy, it was definitely a bug!

9351: When choosing photos from some Flickr users the ‘Use largest available image size’ option would have no effect

FIXED: Due to some inconsistencies in the Flickr API the full size photos from some users were not available when querying for photos. However now if you’ve selected ‘Use largest available image size’ and you’re using a single picture per monitor, JBS will go and get the original image as it should do.

9192: No photos found when you add a private Flickr photo set to JBS

FIXED: Under certain circumstances JBS would report that it couldn’t find any pictures for certain Flickr photo sets. This has now been corrected.

9529: Dropbox does not appear on the ‘Set Picture Modes’ dialog

FIXED: Oops, I neglected to add Dropbox to the source-specific picture mode dialog. Bad John!

9661: JBS doesn’t fill all monitors with different DPIs on Windows 8.1

FIXED: If you ran Windows 8.1 with multiple monitors of different sizes and chose (or let Windows choose) to have different DPI on each monitor, then JBS would leave annoying blank space around at least one of the monitors and not fill the screen. This behaviour has now been corrected.

не совсем ясен смысл этой разработки, ведь всё тоже самое умеет и Винда!
