…nslation is missing (instead of just throwing an exception and risking crashing the program).

…orse*), going to have to go back to the drawing board for this. I've noticed a couple of things which are redundant, such as: - There is no real "need" to have the process names on the initial scan. Only the Process IDs are necessary. - So, simply return the process IDs and just use that initially. - Apparently, checking if a process exists is faster than attempting to construct the Process object? - So, check if processes still exist before attempting to open them. - Alternatively, we embed process_iter() usage inside of construct_module_trie() to prevent any sort of race conditions.

This is a roadmap to v0.2.0, listing the intended features and bugfixes that will be present in v0.2.0
This Draft will be converted to an actual PR once all the changes have been completed, at which point the project's main branch will be updated.
Major Changes
Builds will now automatically request UAC permissions without needing to manually run the program as Administrator.
cx-Freeze6.10 or greater (see Minor Changes)When the filter is turned ON, the program will now check if any other running processes have WinDivert loaded. If this is detected, the user will be warned that other programs using WinDivert may prevent SCBlocker from working properly.
Official releases are now personally signed by me using a Code Signing Certificate.
The program now supports dynamically loading "translation files" from a directory relative to SCBlocker.exe.
Minor / Cosmetic Changes
