8.0.0.0AdditionGUIAdd SmartTrim exclusions dialog

8.0.0.0ChangeGUIExpanded a static text control in the IdleSaver dialog
8.0.0.0ChangeGUIAdd code to migrate existing process icon setting
8.0.0.0ChangeCoreRemove some of the high-def process icons of the governor, which may have caused some troubles

8.0.0.0FixGUIFix ProBalance Insights dialog could have truncated text with some languages
8.0.0.0FixGUIFix Issue that could cause the UI to potentially deadlock when removing a gaming mode process from the list via the process context menu, under the right circumstances (very rare, if ever)
