This build finishes the third process watchdog type - CPU affinity change based on CPU utilization. It also makes quite a large number of other changes and fixes. One of them is a new Start Menu shortcut to help recover from a lost system tray icon (a bug I am tracking down). I've seen this occur in my test beds on rare occasions, so until I have fixed it I've added this easy ability to regain access to the GUI without having the manually terminate ProcessLasso.exe.
Much more work remains, but I intend to stay awake for as much of the next few days as I can and get this done. I want to begin testing this weekend.
Perhaps the big problem was trying to make such a large leap in version 4. I deviated from my slow, incremental development. We'll see if it pays off in the long run. I do know that it must be frustrating for users to have to wait for these new features to go final. However, most users can attest that my alphas and betas are generally stable and perform well. Of course, they are pre-release builds for a reason -- so use at your own risk.
When am I going beta? This week. Bet on it. There will likely be daily builds from here on out. The big stuff is done, its little things I'm correcting and adding from here on out.
