Process Lasso is a unique new technology that will, amongst other things, improve your PC's responsiveness and stability. Windows, by design, allows programs to monopolize your CPU without restraint -- leading to freezes and hangs. Process Lasso's ProBalance technology intelligently adjusts the priority of running programs so that badly behaved programs won't interfere with your ability to use the computer!

Changelog:

• Addition.Core: Added CPU throttling (both persistent and temporary). This applies a hard limit on the CPU time a process can consume. This is not meant to replace ProBalance and should be used only in certain, appropriate situations.
• Addition.Core: Added ability to exclude specific processes from foreground boosting.
• Addition.Core: Added automatic game mode entry for user specified processes.
• Addition.GUI: Added UI support for excluding processes from foreground boosting.
• Addition.GUI: Added UI support for CPU throttling.
• Addition.GUI: Added ability to suspend and resume processes.
• Addition.GUI: The system tray icon now will change to a special icon when the governor is inactive.
• Addition.GUI: Added thread count column.
• Addition.GUI: Added handle count column.
• Addition.GUI: Added application name column.
• Addition.GUI: Added page faults and page faults delta column.
• Addition.GUI: Added thread management tab.
• Addition.GUI: Added 'cancel' button to 'shutdown governor too' message box, allowing to abort the close of the GUI.
• Addition.GUI: Added minimum time for restraint parameter to ProBalance configuration dialog.
• Addition.GUI: Added maximum time for restraint parameter to ProBalance configuration dialog.
• Addition.GUI: Added UI support for automatic game mode entry for user specified processes.
• Addition.Installer: On upgrades, added message box asking if user wants to skip install wizard.
• Change.Installer: Added warning that non-English languages may not be current.

• Change.InstallHelper: Rewording of rights selection (for each isntance to manage processes of all users or not).
• Change.InstallHelper: Cosmetic adjusments.
• Change.GUI: Other tweaks and optimizations.
• Change.GUI: Tweaks to process context submenu ordering (standardized).
• Change.GUI: The warning message when the governor isn't running will not be shown continuously, instead of intermittently.
• Change.GUI: Tweaks to default column sizes.
• Change.GUI: A considerable amount of other tweaks and optimizations.
• Change.GUI: Increased refresh/poll speeds.
• Change.Core: Major internal overhaul to minimize complexity and maximize efficiency.
• Change.Core: Tweaked default ProBalance parameters.
• Change.Core: Added milliseconds to log times.
• Change.Core: A considerable amount of other tweaks and optimizations.
• Change.Core: Added more hard coded exclusions for popular applications that should be excluded from ProBalance restraint.
• Change.Core: Made extensive changes to the ProBalance algorithm.
• Change.Core: Increased refresh/poll speeds.
• Change.Licensing: Reduce nag annoyance.
• Change.Licensing: Nag shown at 30 days instead of 14.
• Fix.GUI: Improved accuracy of system responsiveness calculation. You can now more clearly see the effects of ProBalance.
• Fix.TestLasso: Better command line argument handlng (now backported to last final release).
• Fix.TestLasso: Fix continuous mode, as it wasn't actually consuming all available CPU cycles in some cases (now backported to last final release).
