- "Smart Settings" that intelligently remember user settings such as window positions.
- Bugs fixed:
- ID #10. Crash when capturing messages.
- Known Issues:
- Hook DLL is 32-bit and therefore will not work with 64-bit processes.
- When a lot of windows are destroyed, some of them may not be removed from the window tree. Refreshing the tree will fix this.
