Fixed an issue where, in rare cases, the configured service account was unintentionally replaced by the currently logged-in admin user after logging into the web interface.
Fixed an issue that could prevent the admin promotion job from starting due to an invalid internal scheduling parameter.

The currently logged-in user is now displayed on the Info (“i”) page, improving transparency for administrators working with multiple accounts.
Administrators can now change the configured service account directly in the Settings, without requiring manual intervention or reconfiguration for improved service account management.
File extension matching is now case-insensitive. Previously, only uppercase file extensions were recognized.
1.6.3

In rare cases the files progress bar spinned indefinitely although the job was completed.
New
Policy Offloads can now be scheduled to run automatically. By default, the next run will be started 7 days after the last run ends.
Libraries that have Content Approval enabled, are skipped for offloads and restores.
Files that cannot be successfully processed (i.e. due to crashes and server restarts) are now tracked and picked up by a CleanUp background process later.

In some cases restoring a single file as a non-admin user would show "Access Denied"

In some cases, starting an offload for a non-existing folder or library could lead to an offload of the parent library/site

Added
You can now define inclusion and exclusion policies to specify different offload criteria for different parts of your SharePoint environment. All URLs within a defined path automatically inherit the closest matching policy or exclusion. For more details, check the newly added "Policies" page in ShArc.
The "Progress" page now shows your estimated annual saving for each offload. By default, this uses average pricing, but can be customized in the ShArc settings.

The progess bar sometimes indicated a progress greater than 100%
Modification date and editor are now preserved in almost all cases
