IE Settings Fix

This restores the functionality of the IE Settings menu (sorry for the outage!)

It's alive!

This is our first production release since moving the code to GitHub. We have made a number of changes, including the following.

• Updated to latest Color Contrast Analyser: reports results to one decimal place and has a simpler reporting format.
• Updated to latest aViewer to improve robustness.
• Include the luminosity analyzer script to check color contrast ratios.
• Check the page with Tenon.
• Use latest W3C Validators (some of the previous validation/testing services have been removed).
• ‘Show ARIA’ lists all elements with ARIA info in a new window.
• Make ‘partial source’ more robust.
• Fail gracefully when popup blocking is detected.
• Bugfixes for many other scripts, particularly in relation to IE 10 and 11 compatibility.
• The UI is now more consistent; the toolbar has only drop-down menus; no more menu-buttons (they were not present on every menu and caused the drop-downs to be hard to activate).
• WAT tells you whether it’s running in 32- or 64-bit mode and what the installed version is.
• Simpler build process using Inno Setup and a couple of batch files, to allow you to build 32-bit and 32-and-64-bit versions of WAT. It grabs the version number and puts it into the filename of the setup.exe file, for easy reference.
• Removed development bottleneck caused by Translation.ini being seen by git as a binary, rather than a text, file.
• Update documentation in accordance with the above changes.
• Add some basic information on contributing to the repo.

Many thanks to those who've reported issues; please keep them coming! There's a lot more we want to do with the WAT, and we appreciate your help and support.

Testing the new release proces...

This is our latest work on WAT; we are testing hosting the releases on GitHub. Please note that this is an experimental release. Once we have verified that the new release process works, we intend to make more regular updates this way in future.

Two versions are offered:

• A 32-bit only release.
• A 32- and 64-bit release, for 64-bit versions of Windows (IE has both 32- and 64-bit modes).
