Muutokset v4.00.28 - v4.09.04 Beta
- NEW BETA SERIES - Version 4.1, now in EARLY beta stage development, offers some great new features. One is to set the default CPU affinity to only physical cores (ignoring logical cores). What this means is you can avoid the 'fake' cores that HyperThreading offers up to the scheduler. This helps performance of some applications, despite the Window CPU Scheduler's awareness of these fake cores as of XP. It simply can not make perfect predictions on how demanding the next time slice will be, so can't allocate the time slices perfectly. In many cases, it is simply better to just disable HyperThreading, as Microsoft themselves recommends in some Server Optimization. See http://www.bitsum.com/pl_when_hyperthreading_hurts.php for more info and references.
- All revisions:
- Addition.GUI: Added ability to select default or current affinity that only includes real cores (no simulated HyperThreaded cores)
- Addition.All: Added new one-click portable edition
- Change.GUI: Change to mechanism that launches the governor (movement in location)
- Change.GUI: Reduced size of restraint history column by using abbreviated time metrics (e.g. secs instead of seconds)

- Fix.GUI: Fix to /configfile command line over-ride of INI file in certain cases (back-ported to v4.00.29)
- Fix.Core: Fix to /logfolder command line over-ride of log path in certain cases
- Addition.GUI: Added /showprobalanceconfig command line parameter to invoke ProBalance settings dialog
- Addition.All: Created new Portable Edition, in early beta

Muutokset v3.80 - v3.82
- After the monumental leap forward in the user interface of the v3.80 (and the couple minor glitches at first), this version is a refreshing 'polishing' build. It offers sorting by column in the Active Processes tab, some minor menu re-arrangement, and other general polishing. I've even thrown in the docs in CHM format, which I personally find much more readable than the online version. The installer is a little larger, but still not excessively large.

Muutokset v3.64 - v3.70.2
- This version represents a large product overhaul. Just when you thought Process Lasso couldn't get an leaner, memory use was dramatically reduced through the removal of the COM interface on our process control module. Furthermore, the product was transformed into 100% UNICODE (previous builds were only partially UNICODE). New feature additions include differentiation between individual svchost.exe instances, the ability to designate processes that prevent PC sleep and/or enter the High Performance power scheme, process listview tooltips, and much more!

Muutokset v3.64 - v3.65.8 Beta
- This is the first COM-less and 100% UNICODE release of Process Lasso. Long ago we exposed our process management engine through a COM interface, meaning the ProcessControl.DLL module had to be registered on the system before you could use Process Lasso. No more! This means quite a bit less memory and CPU use, the ability to run without installing first, and no interference from registry cleaners. If that wasn't enough, this version also adds better management of svchost.exe instances by allowing differentiation of instances. Please remember, this is a beta version. As such, it is released without the extensive testing of final builds, so minor bugs may be present.

Muutokset v3.60.7 - v3.60.8
- This version represents a major product overhaul. Virtually every function of the software has been improved. Several new features have also been added. One of the new features is the much requested CPU throttling, where a hard limit is imposed on the amount of CPU time a process can consume. Other new features include exclusions from foreground boosting, automatic game mode toggle, handle and thread counts, a thread management tab, and the ability to suspend/resume processes. ProBalance, along with the core engine in general, has also been tweaked to react more quickly. See the complete list of changes below. This has been bumped up a few version numbers to represent the magnitude of its revisions.

Muutokset v3.54.11 - v3.60
- This version represents a major product overhaul. Virtually every function of the software has been improved. Several new features have also been added. One of the new features is the much requested CPU throttling, where a hard limit is imposed on the amount of CPU time a process can consume. Other new features include exclusions from foreground boosting, automatic game mode toggle, handle and thread counts, a thread management tab, and the ability to suspend/resume processes. ProBalance, along with the core engine in general, has also been tweaked to react more quickly. See the complete list of changes below. This has been bumped up a few version numbers to represent the magnitude of its revisions.

Muutokset v3.54.10 - v3.59.12 Beta
- This version represents a major product overhaul. Virtually every function of the software has been (or is being) improved. Several new features have also been added. One of the new features is the much requested CPU throttling, where a hard limit is imposed on the amount of CPU time a process can consume. Other new features include exclusions from foreground boosting, automatic game mode toggle, handle and thread counts, a thread management tab, and the ability to suspend/resume processes. ProBalance, along with the core engine in general, has also been tweaked to react more quickly. See the complete list of changes below. This has been bumped up a few version numbers to represent the magnitude of its revisions.

Muutokset v3.54 - v3.59.2 Beta
- This version represents a major product overhaul. Virtually every function of the software has been (or is being) improved. A wide array new features has also been added. One of the new features is the much requested CPU throttling, where a hard limit is imposed on the amount of CPU time a process can consume. Other new features include exclusions from foreground boosting, automatic game mode toggle, handle and thread counts, a thread management tab, and the ability to suspend/resume processes. See the complete list below. This has been bumped up a few version numbers to represent the magnitude of its revisions. Lastly, please remember, this version is still in beta! So be cautious, bugs may exist and some features may be incomplete.

Muutokset v3.43.1 Beta - v3.44.1
- Summary: This build makes an important fix for a bug that popped up a few versions back. It therefore improves the effectiveness of ProBalance restraint on many computers. Not all computers were affected by this glitch, but for those who were, Process Lasso should work even better than before. In addition, this build includes new multi-process selection menu items, and polishing in the PTBR translation.
- Fix.Core: Fixed a possible failure to always exclude foreground processes from ProBalance restraint.
- Fix.Core: Safety catch for rare condition where multiple instances of the governor, all managing the same set of processes, take restraint action on the same process at approximately the same time. Note that under the default configuration this scenario won't happen anyway.
- Addition.GUI: Added multi-process context menu function: default priority
- Addition.GUI: Added multi-process context menu function: default affinity
- Addition.GUI: Added multi-process context menu function: excluded from ProBalance
- Addition.GUI: Added multi-process context menu function: instance count limits
- Addition.GUI: Added ProBalance option to not change priority class, only adjust CPU affinity.
- Addition.Core: Added support for ProBalance option to not change priority class during restraint.
- Change.GUI: Updated Portuguese/Brazilian translation and images, by Vitor Machado.

- Fix.GUI: Fixed incorrect verb in confirmation message box of multi-process terminate and close.
- Change.GUI: Changed date/time formats.
- Change.Core: The username field in log events now is the user owning the target process, instead of the user context of the core engine instance that performed the action.

- Change.Installer: Language selection of installer now propagates to Process Lasso application.
- Removal.Installer: Removed localization pack for translators from installer, is packaged separately now.

The configuration file load and save functionality has also been completely rewritten, and is now much more optimal. File system accesses and CPU usage have been reduced. Lastly, multiple process selection support has been added.
- Addition.GUI: Added ability to select multiple processes in the listview.
