New Features
Yesterday I released v3.65.2 beta. Amongst continued optimization of the new no-COM code base, I've added a couple new features. Well, ok, one new feature with the other coming in the next build. These are in the new 'When Running' process context menu:- (when running)
- Prevent PC sleep
- Enter High Performance power scheme
This last feature (Enter High Perf..) is not yet fully completed in the core engine, so I disabled it in this build. It will come in the next. I expect it to be highly useful to many people. Imagine, when you're playing your favorite game your laptop will instantly go into the High Performance power scheme, possibly eking out a little more performance. When you close your game, it returns to the original power scheme.
UNICODE users rejoice!
I'm also happy to announce that the next beta will be the first 100% UNICODE build. Prior to this, I had kept the project multi-byte (ANSI), but transformed select pieces of code to wide characters (UNICODE). Although I wrote almost all the code to easily support either character set by using TCHARs, this transition still requires full regression testing. I figured since I was going to have to do full regression testing anyway, now was the time to finally make the switch.
Silent update to v3.64.3
Lastly, for anyone who cares, I performed a silent update of v3.64.3 final. This build has no real changes. It simply re-enables the warning about the French translation being incomplete. It was also built in a newly created virtual development environment, but that's hardly something that matters to end users. Of course, I did make sure to run it through the usual final build tests since I had utilized the new build environment.
