Version 4 on the distant horizon

Posted on 19:34 by Unknown
Version 4 is on the distant horizon. This will be another major upgrade of the product. I'm not going to be adding bloat, don't worry. It will actually streamline the product in some respects. There will be lots of improvements. Some I don't want to mention yet, but others I will. Here are a few:

  1. Vastly improved update mechanism - Registered (Pro) version users will no longer have to log in to our Support area to download updates. Further, an optional automated update function will be available. Not everyone will want to use it, but most of our users should find it works great for them. Since our installer already supports silent updates (the /S command line switch), this feature is already halfway there.
  2. Improved user interface - v3.80 extended and improved the user interface, at least after the quirks were worked out. Yes, I am still bothered that I let a couple GUI glitches slip by my QA in v3.80. The new interface will be more modern looking, while more functional at the same time. Details on the additions I'll note in time. You will like. Don't worry, there won't be additional overhead.
  3. A separate free version - For those who ONLY want ProBalance, I will offer a separate completely slim free edition, as a contribution to the world. There won't be nags, or anything like that. However, it won't be fully featured. I must also admit that this plan is tentative, and depends a lot on sales. If sales are fine, I'll be able to go ahead and give away this free slim edition. To avoid confusion, let me say that the  planned slim edition won't use any less resources than the regular edition, it will just have less features. In the standard edition, I wrote the software so that unused features don't use any additional resources.
  4. New core engine features - I don't want to elaborate on these just yet, but many of the most requested additions to Process Lasso will be implemented ;).

Thanks to all those who have supported my software. If you haven't bought a license, please do so. Developing quality, light weight software to solve user common problems is my passion, and I hope to continue doing that independently. It is not easy being independent; taxes are higher, health insurance costs are higher (I have actually none at this time), and its just plain difficult. Thankfully, I've had great user support. I know my nag screen is annoying, but its just a reminder. Without it, most people wouldn't ever think twice about Process Lasso sitting silently in the system tray, doing its job. I have had reports that many people uninstall Process Lasso after the nag gets annoying, only to recognize the benefit after its gone ;).
