This final was in alpha, then beta, so long that the full list of changes would just be overwhelming. Therefore, some of the more important aspects are documented below.
You may do an automated update, but I recommend an install (over-top the existing installation).

WARNING: When upgrading from version 5, you may lose your Process Lasso NO SLEEP Process Rules. This can cause your PC to do things that it has been waiting for Idle to do, e.g. scheduled disk defrags or updates. You will need to re-apply these settings. Other settings should all persist fine. The reason is because these rules are now subdivided into two types - prevent the whole PC from sleeping or prevent only the display(s) from sleeping.

Process Lasso v6.0.0.61 - [.61]Fix.GUI: Fixed benign errant Total CPU % used calculation (did not affect core engine, nor was it 'real'). It did cause a see-saw type graph when the GUI was minimized to the system tray. When the GUI was not minimized to the system tray, the bug did not manifest. It would only manifest for some unlucky people, some of the time (depended on how close together two timers were).

This update makes the transition to Visual Studio 2012, though VC10 (VS2010) platform tools are used because the VC11 tools don't work with XP as a target yet. Microsoft removed this capability, only to *plan* to restore it in some pending update 'This Fall'. This build does leave many items still to do, but I wanted to get a final build of this next generation on out.
Process Lasso v6.0.0.86 6.0.0.86 | Change | Build | Migrated to VC11 and VS2012 - though still must use VC10 platform toolset due to XP not (yet) being supported by VC11 (VS2012). It will be in a pending out-of-band update 'later this fall'. Windows 2000 support is gone (as of VC10). |
6.0.0.86 | Removal | Build | Removed deprecated.exe srvstub.exe from package - reduced software footprint a slight bit |
6.0.0.86 | Removal | Config | 'Restart core engine' removed because it is deprecated by 'smart' recovery if needed |
6.0.0.86 | Fix | Core | Minor adjustments and fixes |
6.0.0.86 | Change | Core | Other minor adjustments |
6.0.0.86 | Fix | Startup/Install | Fix issue with Process Lasso start at login configuration in XP for v6+ (requires new run of installer or InstallHelper.exe in this beta) |
6.0.0.86 | Fix | GUI | Fix some licensing issues |
6.0.0.86 | Change | Chinese-Trad | Fixed possible old and/or wrong module in use in prior build(s) |
6.0.0.86 | Change | Installer | Remove test_gdiplus_present.exe from installer [deprecated, was for win2k] |
6.0.0.86 | Change | Build | Re-enable self-recovery mechanisms (dropping minidumps after a short bug check period) |
6.0.0.86 | Change | Build | Found and fixed a possible flaw in a supporting tool |
6.0.0.86 | Change | Build | Dropped Windows 2000 compatibility - a last compatible beta and final build were stored at http://bitsum.com/pl_last_w2k.php |
6.0.0.86 | Change | GUI | Windows 8 enhancements (a couple more being worked on) |
6.0.0.86 | Change | GUI | Adjusted About Box user name to show more characters |
6.0.0.86 | Change | GUI | Other minor adjustments |
6.0.0.86 | Change | Licensing | Removed one-time license validation for older users - it was not as painless as hoped for some. |
6.0.0.86 | Change | German | Updated translation |
6.0.0.86 | Addition | GUI | When an instance of the GUI is already running in the local session, open its main window on subsequent attempts to launch the GUI (as PL once did) |

Process Lasso v6.0.1.42 This is a little upgrade from the last final, cleaning up some licensing issues and other small quirks. That said, it also adds a handy temporary 'Keep PC from sleeping' option to the system tray menu AND puts the 'Prevent PC from sleeping' process context menu back on the top level where it belongs!
6.0.1.42 | Addition | GUI | Added temporary rule to system tray and main menu, 'Force PC to stay awake'. This prevents the PC from sleeping while the GUI is running - until that option is unchecked. It does NOT persist when Process Lasso restarts. |
