I do have more work ongoing, but am launching this build with well tested changes I've been wanting to make for a while. The largest is that full memory optimizations in the core engine have been re-enabled. Some of these optimizations were disabled a while back as I evaluated a bug I'd seen. I tracked down and addressed the bug, and after some lengthy memory utilization testing, I am ready to release this build with them re-enabled. CPU utilization will be reduced a little, though it is only barely measurable as it was. [.24]Change.GUI: Hide unavailable I/O priority column by default in 2K/XP (for new installs or listview reset) [.24]Change.Installer: Don't warn about Terminal Services disabled [.24]Change.Core: Decreased memory utilization in environments with a lot of processes [.24]Change.Core: Re-enabled full memory optimizations, they had been disabled in a previous build while I studied utilization

I finally finished this up, something I should have done a long time ago given the interest in this edition. As I worked on the new portable edition, I noticed some bugs in the command line parameter handling. This build also resolves those bugs. [.25]Change.GUI: Automatic updates no longer marked as experimental [.25]Change.Portable: C QUOTE hanged distribution to simple ZIP archive of Process Lasso program with a batch file to start [.25]Change.Portable: Configuration file and log file now stored alongside program file [.25]Change.Portable: Automated updates now work with the portable edition, though only automated updates at this time [.25]Addition.SrvStub: Added version resource [.25]Addition.GUI: Added /configfolder command line option for optional use instead of /configfile [.25]Change.All: /configfolder now expands '.' as current working directory, as does /logfolder [.25]Change.GUI: Remove random nag shown 1/6 main window opens from system tray [.25]Fix.GUI: Fix 'Keep Running' processes were sometimes associated with the PL main window, depending on if the GUI had launched the governor or not [.25]Fix.All: Fixed a command line parsing issue with quote encapsulated paths [.25]Change.Build: Improved speed of build environment (internal) [.25]Fix.Log.subsystem: Fixed global log folder command line specification [.25]Fix.Log.subsystem: Fixed a string reference not properly defined as const and written to improperly by a subfunction (no actual bug manifests as it was unused) [.25]Addition.Core: Added new log entry indicating the log path [.25]Change.GUI: Changed first minimize to tray message so it is slightly less ugly

I had removed an extra EULA confirmation and in doing so introduced a small bug that prevented it from ever being true. This is fixed. In addition, some general maintenance to the service management code base was performed. [.26]Change.GUI: Updated Italian [.26]Fix.GUI: Fixed bug that started a few minor updates ago, causing automatic updates to not actually be turned on (though it appeared checked at first) [.26]Change.InstallHelper: Further consolidated the service creation code [.26]Change.InstallHelper: Added critical section timeout system registry value check, to ensure no user set it to an improperly low value One thing I am working on in a future build is allowing programmatic adjustment of the local security policy to allow the specified user to run the governor as a service. I understand this may be confusing for some users, and generally an annoyance for others.

[.27]Fix.GUI: Fixed crash seen in Windows 2000. Note that process icons are disabled in W2K, at least for now, as the issue is in the new code to more efficiently resolve them using system APIs not available in W2K. [.27]Fix.Core: Fixed premature exit of default power scheme in certain cases where multiple default power scheem processes were running [.27]Fix.GUI: Fixed Russian activation dialog had User and Code captions reversed [.27]Fix.All: Fixed theoretical cause of settings being reset under rare circumstances

This minor release has a number of fixes and changes, including massive updates to the translations. There are brand new French and Simplified Chinese translations, and 4 other languages brought up to date. Process Lasso v5.0.0.30 (new rebuild, 2011-07-01) Same links as above.

I am NOT speaking of ProBalance, this is the CPU and Memory thresholds after which a change is enforced. The issue was a simple one, as always. It seems that nearly every time there is an issue, it is because of my obsession with efficiency. This obsession increases complexity, which is never a good thing. I have to start being more reasonable and making some compromises (though not too many!). Keep in mind that Process Lasso is running all the time (resident), so every CPU cycle matters, at least to me. Anyway, the end effect is a much better working watchdog mechanism. The 'time over quota' variable for watchdog entries is now much more strictly adhered to. Again, this is NOT the ProBalance time threshold, this is a totally different feature I am speaking of.

The logic issue was obvious, so a quick fix was made and tested. It also fixed another issue where the watchdog timers were inappropriately reset. In the meantime I had finished the new offline activation system for the Portable Edition, so it is included in this most rapid new minor version. [.32]Fix.Core: Fixed issue where watchdog entries quit working when forced mode was on if their time threshold was non-zero. [.32]Change.Core: Improved efficiency of core engine when Forced Mode is on and watchdog entries are active. [.32]Addition.Licensing: New offline activation mechanism added Note, again, that the Process Watchdog feature is an advanced capability completely unrelated to ProBalance process priority optimization.
