Process Lasso v3.99.36 Betahttp://www.bitsum.com/files/beta/prolasso.ziphttp://www.bitsum.com/files/beta/prolasso64.zip» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « v3.99.36 beta build #81800 Addition.GUI: Added easy menu option to reset entire configuration (all of it) Addition.GUI: Added Indonesian language by Ivan Chin Addition.GUI: Added Serbian (latin char set) by Dražen Milovanović - Note Serbian Cyrillic is already avaialable and kept up to date by the diligent Ozzii Change.GUI: Language selection is now saved in HKLM, but can be overridden by HKCU Change.GUI: Switching languages is now done by picking your new language, then restarting Process Lasso (instead of wiping out old pick and restarting Process Lasso) Fix.Installer: Fixed language being reset to English on silent upgrade Fix.GUI: (beta2beta) Potential/likely fix missing system tray icon in Vista or Windows 7 afer user login (PL GUI was being launched before explorer by the Task Scheduler) Fix.GUI: (beta2beta) Fixed positioning of RAM graph outline (group control surronding RAM graph) Change.GUI: (beta2beta) Experimental switch back to non-persistent pipes Change.GUI: Better handling of user configured selection to manage only their processes, or not (for XP and Vista/7) Change.GUI: Faster handling in cases where lots of processes are ignored for one reason or another --much more--
v3.99.35 beta Addition.GUI: Added user column to Active Processes tab Change.Core: Use binary search instead of sorted linear search on larger process lists Change.GUI: Fix Finnish graph legend and possibly other text Change.Core: INI change certification disabled, as it was deemed useless Fix.InstallHelper: (beta2beta) If user selects 'Manage processes of all users' then unselects the auto-selected 'Elevate at login', then it is now implied they wanted elevation anyway All.Fixes: Misc improvements and fixes throughout
Known Bugs Windows 2000 compatibility is broken All ProBalance events may not show up as highlights on the GUI, though taming *will* continue If no ProBalance events are highlighted on the graph, you may need to stop/start the core engine. Taming has continued, but the inter-process communication broke down. Emergency Stall Recovery is functional, but needs continued tuning to work correctly Newly added process restraint history isn't working reliably, nor is new process status Other minor bugs and errata, mostly with GUI - very little core engine errata (if any)
