What's new in Start++ 0.8.1.0
Feb 7, 2009
- The typing delay added in 0.8 will now only affect Start Gadgets, and only once they are already showing. This was added to prevent unnecessary queries to the web server while you are still typing. This fix, combined with prevous ones, should give a much better response to your typing than in the past for all situations.
- Any systems which use comma-delimited decimal formats should no longer save out incorrect data for the ZoomFactor parameter in the XML. This should prevent the crashes many users of non-English systems have been seeing.
New in Start++ 0.8 (Apr 22, 2008)
- Better responsiveness to queries for Start Gadgets
- Fewer intermediate Gadget updates while you're typing, no longer a chance of "lost characters"
- Better keyboard and mouse interaction with Start Gadgets
- Fixed the default Dictionary gadget to have an OnSubmit handler as it was meant to
- Fixed the calculator gadget (and problems with any gadgets that use OnSubmit but have SubmitNewWindow set to false)
- Small UI clean-up for gadget rendering
- Fixed tab ordering for most of the configuration UI
- Fixed focus of UAC prompts when using commands like "sudo" from the start menu if the Secure Desktop switch is disabled
New in Start++ 0.7.8 (Sep 27, 2007)
- Fixed the hook installation error for users without the right CRT libraries installed
New in Start++ 0.4.6 (Apr 2, 2007)
- Added support for quotation marks in web search queries (anything using % )
- % substitutions are now URL encoded
- Update checking is now aynchronous, won't block start-up of the app (especially if the server is slow).
- Update checking might work better with some proxy servers (don't have a repro of the problem that one person reported, so can't promise it's fixed).
- Start now runs native 64-bit on x64 platforms. Before it would intentionally always bind to the x86 .NET framework because of some interop issues that have now been resolved.
- The above fix means that "sudo" will now launch the 64-bit CMD instead of 32-bit CMD, among other things.
- Various spelling/typo fixes.
