8.9.8.40 | Change | Localization | Updated languages from latest v9 alpha branch snapshots. |
While we work on releasing a wild new ParkControl with Bitsum Dynamic Boost, not to mention uProBalance Stand Alone, we found the time to update the release v8 branch. Not many changes, but important to some!
Changes:
8.9.8.42 | Fix | Core | Fix a 'greater than or less than' inversion in a particular advanced process watchdog rule. |
8.9.8.42 | Change | Localization | Updated languages from latest v9 alpha branch snapshots. |
This fixes an edge issue we've had reported from time to time. It can be caused by a couple scenarios, but basically a 'ghost' process is listed in the Process Lasso GUI, having no other attributes. Once the fault was identified in the v9 branch, we verified the fix, back-ported the code, tested the back-port, and here are releasing v8.9.8.44. It's a simple change really, and very intuitive and hard to 'go wrong', but one can never be over-confident.
Changes:
8.9.8.44 | Fix | Core | Fix for rare 'ghost process instances' back-ported from v9 working dev branch |
8.9.8.44 | Change | Localization | Update German (note: languages aren't getting updates in the v8 branch unless requestd) |
This fixes an important interoperability issue with Malwarebytes Anti-Ransomware Beta and further reduces CPU use by Process Lasso itself, which was of course already negligible.
