PiLfIuS! Changelog

What's new in PiLfIuS! 0.9

Aug 31, 2007
  • Feature: Completely revamped recognition core now supports continuous speech recognition and better accuracy (you can say many commands in a single phrase without pausing between them).
  • Feature: Command recognition confidence threshold - PiLfIuS! only responds to commands when it has a reasonable certainty that it has recognized it correctly.
  • Feature: Interference detection
  • Feature: Significantly faster keystroke output
  • Feature: Hold key down for x milliseconds before release
  • Feature: Mouse button press and mouse wheel motion emulation
  • Feature: Allow key combinations recognized by Windows to be added (such as Ctrl-F4, Alt-F4, Ctrl-Alt-Del).
  • Feature: Repeat action (keystroke / mouse buttons) n times
  • Feature: Use mouse and joystick buttons or joystick HAT to trigger the activation feature (Push-to-activate, Push-to-deactivate, Push-to-toggle)
  • Feature: Option to disable command actions
  • Feature: Output of last recognized command
  • Feature: PiLfIuS! is restricted to one instance
  • Installer: (for Vista users) Installer will now install and register comdlg32.ocx and comdlg32.dll only if they don't exist already -regardless of version-.
  • Bugfix (introduced in 0.7): One of the processes causes the application to needlessly use a significant amount of idle processor resources.
  • Bugfix: When the last command in a Command List file has no keystrokes assigned, after loading the Command List and either speaking or clicking that command, the program crashes.
  • Bugfix: When closing a command list with unsaved changes, a dialog pops up asking whether you want to save. Answering "No" will prompt the dialog a second time, while unloading the main screen.
  • Bugfix: When closing a previously-unsaved command list with unsaved changes, answering "Yes" when prompted to save will cause the program to crash.
  • Bugfix: Pressing the CANCEL button at the SAVE AS... dialog when saving a Command List saves the file anyway.
  • Bugfix: Loading saved command lists containing keystrokes consisting of only shift, ctrl and/or alt resulted in corrupted commands, which would cause a CTD and other erratic behavior when recognized, or when certain actions are performed on them.
  • Bugfix: Under certain desktop styles, annoying scrollbars are visible along the bottom and right borders of the application.
  • Bugfix: About button can only be clicked on the first screen.

  • Bugfix: After a new GROUP is ADDed, next time ADD GROUP is opened, the group name entered previously will show.
  • Bugfix: Adding keystrokes consisting of only shift, ctrl and/or alt causes CTDs at several points.
  • Bugfix: After deleting a group, following groups show commands from the group that succeed them rather than their own.
