New feature:

• New option processpriority to set the CPU priority of the process
  -- Allowed values are: idle, below normal, normal, above normal, high priority, realtime
  -- Requires admin rights
  -- Use idle or below normal to lower the CPU usage footprint of the process (defaults to normal)

Improvements:

• The program will now try to resend the Telegram message every 15 min in case of the computer having totally lost internet connection.
• The Telegram message will now be send after killing the process to prevent having the process running until the message was send successfully. This is only important in case of the computer itself lost the internet connection.

Bugfixes:

• Fail limit counter is now properly reset when the connection is re-established

• New option 'faillimit': specifies the maximum number of checks where the process is running and disconnected until the exit routine is initiated. This option is to prevent false-positives (e.g., when switching channels) and premature exit of the program.

Re-enabled the "killondc" feature, i.e, the program tries to kill the monitored process after it has detected a disconnected. Note, however, that BDO-Watchdog needs to be run with administrator rights for it being allowed to do that. This is because the Black Desert Online client is also run with admin rights.
