This new version is a substantial upgrade from the previous v3.70. It makes important changes to the GUI and core engine. For the core engine, there is improved ProBalance reaction time and other tweaks, amongst many other changes. For the GUI, a new 'Active Processes' tab with horizontal CPU utilization graphs gives you a quick view of what processes are actually active on the system. Further, the GUI now has better child window positioning and a 'hide graph' button for easy toggling of graph visibility.

Thx jalaffa.
This new beta does some polishing of the initial v3.80 release. It will quickly transition to v3.82 final given the very few, minor, and relatively safe changes. Of course, standard regression testing must still be performed though. Many of the changes have been requested several times, so some users should definitely be pleased with this new version.
- Addition.GUI: Sort by column now supported in new 'Active Processes' tab, as was already the case in the 'All Processes' tab
- Addition.GUI: Last sorted column of new 'Active Processes' tab is remembered
- Change.GUI: Moved graph visibility setting to the registry, so a config reload and process recheck event won't be triggered every time the graph visibility is toggled by the user
- Change.Core: No longer restore the original priority of a process whose priority was adjusted while it was in a lowered/restrained priority class due to a ProBalance event
Addition.GUI: Sort by column now supported in new 'Active Processes' tab, as was already the case in the 'All Processes' tab Addition.GUI: Last sorted column of new 'Active Processes' tab is remembered Change.GUI: Repositioned some of the newer menu items for easier location Change.GUI: Moved graph visibility setting to the registry, so a config reload and process recheck event won't be triggered every time the graph visibility is toggled by the user Change.Core: No longer restore the original priority of a process whose priority was externally adjusted while it was in a changed state due to a ProBalance event (i.e. if user changes the priority after ProBalance makes a temporary adjustment) Change.Core: No longer restore the original CPU affinity of a process whose CPU affinity was externally adjusted while it was in a changed state due to a ProBalance event (i.e. if user changes the CPU affinity after ProBalance makes a temporary adjustment) Addition.Installer: Included a CHM copy of the docs for easy readability and offline access (increased installer size though)
