v0.5.3 (ShadowRun)

This is a beta version of the Volume Shadow Copy Runner utility - ShadowRun.

It is expected to work as documented, i.e. there are no known issues, but it has not undergone a lot of testing as of yet.

The application is stand-alone single-binary (ShadowRun.exe), with Visual C++ runtime as its only dependency.

Build is Release for x64 platform with Visual Studio 2022 Update 4 (MSVC++ 14.34).

Changes since v0.5.2:

Automatic expansion of any environment variable references within arguments specified with -arg or after --. This makes it possible to refer to %SHADOW_DRIVE_1% without having to execute the command via cmd.exe for it to perform the expansion. See issue #3. In case this
is not desired, e.g. you want to supply an actual string in format %name% to the executable, new options -ne and -no-expand (aliases) are added, which disables the variable expansion.

Readme improvements, spelling and fixing of Microsoft links, contributed by Joe Winett (@jwinett).

Added command-line option -no-quote as an alternative (alias) to existing -nq.

Build is Release for x64 platform with Visual Studio 2022 Update 3 (MSVC++ 14.33).

Changes since v0.5.1:

Some general improvements/cleanup of logging (command output). The default verbosity has been reduced, and it is made configurable with new command-line option -log-level which takes values trace, debug, info (default), notice (currently unused), error or silent. Set -log-level=debug to get verbosity corresponding to the previous version. Set -log-level=error to only get output from the executed command, not from ShadowRun itself, unless an error occurs, or -log-level=silent to not even get errors (but you can check the exit code). Setting -log-level=trace corresponds to the original option -tracing.

Renamed command-line option -errorcode to -error-code
