FastStats not showing most recent release on splash screen launchpage

When you run a FastStats Launcher (or FastStats local) then the log in page should show a list of features in the splash page to the right of the log-in panel:



If this is not showing the release notes which correspond to the software version (you can find this from File > Help > About) then you might need to clear out a cache file on the client machine.

FastStats embeds a version of Chromium using the component 'CefSharp'. The default cache path for this embedded browser is set in FastStats to the %APPDATA%\cachepath directory.

To fix this issue,  quit any FastStats Launchers or FastStats Local, if you are using this.

Clear out your %APPDATA%\cachepath  directory
This will empty the embedded CefSharp cache.

Clearing out the cache in IE/Edge/Chrome/etc will have no effect.
