Taking it up a notch with v4.1

I am so proud to have v4.1 even planned this well. It is going to be here before we know it. Not everyone will be happy, as not everything in the huge task list will be taken care of. HOWEVER, there are some important improvements I have worked hard on:

• Direct process I/O priority control in Vista and above (already in beta)
• Default power schemes of anything, not just High Performance
• New multi-core optimizations (e.g. HyperThreading logical core avoidance)
• Improved inter-process communication, resulting in more accuracy with ProBalance event timing and state
• New update mechanism that shows changes since YOUR last update, not just the latest version's changes. It will also allow for validation to make sure your license is valid for the update. This will avoid any surprises.
• Decreased CPU usage even further (of both CPU and GUI), just when you thought it was impossible to get it any tighter ;)
• More improvements to the startup sequence and timing in Vista and above.
• Many fixes and general improvements.

I hope customers appreciate these improvements, and I will continue to work hard towards these goals. It is important for beta users to let me know of any bug they see, as I will try to get it fixed by the final release of v4.1.
