Finally, v3.99.18 beta

Posted on 20:44 by Unknown
I hit a 'block' last night, perhaps it was due to malnutrition, perhaps overwork, or perhaps stupidity. Nevertheless, it took about 5 minutes to fix the problem today when I took a fresh look.

v3.99.18 is being released. The most prominent change is something you won't see or notice -- that improved inter-process communication I've mentioned. Process Lasso will now function much better in more complicated multi-user environments and in cases where the Governor is running as a service. Yea, most companies wouldn't bother, and probably have released v4 weeks ago to maximize profits (ready or not). For me it's personal though, I want things right -- and I want to finish what I've promised. I'm about 95% there.

I do still have to finish integrating the old code with this new code. The systray balloon tooltips, for instance, will use this method, instead of their older method. This will greatly improve performance, particularly in high loads, and particularly on multi-threaded systems. Yes, you read right.... Process Lasso is becoming increasingly multi-threaded. It always has been, but now it is more than ever. I'm offloading work to threads left and right (while not going overboard). On multi-core systems, this will be a great advantage.
