Process Lasso v6 Release Thread

[Jeremy Collake]

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).

Process Lasso v6.0.0.76
   

This is the result of a longer than usual beta for a minor update. There have been numerous minor fixes, adjustments, and additions. Overall, it is simply yet another incremental improvement upon the product. From here, we are already preparing the next beta series, with other changes already pending. The work at Bitsum never stops - nor should it! We hope users enjoy this update. If anyone has troubles with the one-time license revalidation, simply email us at support@bitsum.com and we'll take care of you. For those of you who activated a LONG time ago, your code may not be stored, or may not be stored properly. In such a case, visit the Support Area to retrieve your activation code and/or download older versions you may be entitled to (if you are not licensed for this version). Note that lifetime users are entitled to ALL versions.

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 v6.0.1.36

What you'll find is a more efficient product with a slightly more appealing and intuitive user interface. A few features have been added, a few bugs fixed.

 

6.0.1.36	Fix	Core	Some processes not terminated or restarted in a timely manner despite being target of a watchdog rule (due to 'polite' termination attempt).
6.0.1.36	Fix	GUI	Fixed problem with memory load top overlapping its background group control after a size change
6.0.1.36	Fix	GUI	Fix per-core metrics turned off if any data is unavailable during startup, sometimes resulting in a corrupted right side of graph
6.0.1.36	Fix	GUI	Experimental painting adjustments for some non-compositing (mostly XP) systems showing artifacts
6.0.1.36	Fix	GUI	Fix error that caused empty per-core % time utilized graphs to, rarely, be shown a minority of non-English NT5 systems that didn't meet the pre-requisites
6.0.1.36	Fix	GUI	Fixed Watchdog Dialog assigning 'Working Set' to run regardless of actual user selection
6.0.1.36	Removal	GUI	Removed unimplemented options, preparing for next final
6.0.1.36	Addition	Package	Added shell icons to complimentary executable modules, such as QuickUpgrade and InstallHelper
6.0.1.36	Removal	GUI	Removed start at login context menu items - at least for now - keeping our focus dedicated.
6.0.1.36	Removal	GUI	Removed all code to manage processes start at login. Specialied utilies can do this, and Windows itself.

    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.
6.0.1.42	Fix	GUI	Process Lasso Window state (e.g. maximized) could be unnecessarily lost after some Process Lasso updates due to change in number of child windows - now is preserved
6.0.1.42	Fix	GUI	Disable solitician dialog at startup while it undergoes maintenance
6.0.1.42	Fix	GUI	Further improved painting of memory load graph
6.0.1.42	Change	GUI	Change process context menu to give top-level access to 'Prevent sleep when running', made copy of those more granular anti-sleep menu items in 'less common actions'
6.0.1.42	Change	Licensing	Remove license revalidation, now that it served its purpose
6.0.1.42	Change	GUI	Disable double click on memory load graph to hide it, until we standardize behavior across new controls
6.0.1.42	Change	GUI	Force reset of listview column positions and states due to changes in prior build
6.0.1.42	Change	GUI	Remove licensee name from About dialog if not known (activation code identifies license)
6.0.1.42	Change	Installer	Include CHM Docs in Server Edition
6.0.1.42	Change	Serbian	Updated
6.0.1.42	Change	Russian	Updated

    Process Lasso v6.0.1.50

This build makes special improvements in the way Process Lasso is launched by the user. If an instance of the GUI is already running in that user session, that instance's main window is opened *without* requiring the user to hit any UAC prompt. If an instance is not running, then it is launched in accordance to its elevated status. Further, this build fixes a low-level issues with an elevation state related function, thus corrects a few minor quirks.

6.0.1.50	Fix	All	Fix to a shared function determining elevation state desired by user
6.0.1.50	Fix	GUI	Several non-critical elevation related fixes due to misnamed external manifest being referenced

6.0.1.50	Fix	ThreadRacer	Fixed failure to run under XP (NT5) and below
6.0.1.50	Fix	ThreadRacer	Fixed failure of per-core metrics in some recent builds that had debug code
6.0.1.50	Fix	GUI	When saved child window positions reset, also force graph visibility setting reset, else can have unpainted but shown child graph windows
6.0.1.50	Fix	GUI	Allow full wildcards for some watchdog rules
6.0.1.50	Change	GUI	For betas, let user know that beta updates are forced on via message box
