This release adds an important new feature: the ability to limit the number of instances a program can have running per user session. Of course, this feature is only for users with a need for it, and by default no new action is taken. This release also makes important changes to ease translation by providing plain text files users can translate and submit. It further makes some usability and efficiency improvements.

v3.18 changes

           
  • Addition.Core: Added new functionality to limit the number of instances a process can have running per user session.
  • Fix.Core: Improved handling of cases where unexpected results come from the NT kernel, usually indicating a rootkit or other kernel-level hooking.
