What's new in winThrottle 0.007
Jun 22, 2009
- Got a HUGE amount of help from Ryan Geiss, who added all these goodies:
- settings are now remembered, session-to-session
- added a 'max throttle' option
- added a 'step throttle down' cpu utilization threshold
- systray icon is now animated & shows throttle amount in green
- clicking systray icon now brings window to foreground (left, right, or double-left-click)
- protected vs. 2 instances of winThrottle running at the same time
- minor tweaks to WM_POWERBROADCAST handling
- cpu utilization readout no longer disappears periodically
- cpu utilization readout is now also active when auto-throttle is off.
- overhaul of the way throttle values are tracked;
- slider & text throttle readout feel more solid now.
- max throttle spin control now jumps in increments that actually reflect what levels your chipset can actually throttle at.
- seems to no longer crash after hibernation/standby, due to Jeff's awesome new driver :)
- added appropriate # of tic marks to throttle slider, to suggest the real values that are being used. (16 for Via, 8 otherwise)
- simplified basic dialog; you have to check 'show settings' to see the complicated stuff.
- at startup, if auto-throttle is on, it now gives you a
- "minimizing in 3... 2... 1... seconds" text warning
- so you're not wondering where the heck your window went.
- If you click the warning text itself, or the "auto throttle"
- checkbox, or the "show settings" checkbox, it will abort
- the countdown.
- fixed tab order of dialog controls
