Changes since v2.46: GUI.Change: No longer lists processes a user has no access to (i.e. a limited user). This makes the display much cleaner and improves efficiency. Installer.Change: Made the 'start/stop' core engine start menu items an optional section, disabled by default.
Changes since v2.48: * Addition.GUI: Position of window and child windows is now saved at exit and restored at re-launch. * Addition.GUI: Added 'View' menu item and 'Show Legend' option to toggle display of graph legend. * Optimization.GUI: Reduced main window procedure CPU cycles per message. * Change.GUI: Changed 'File' menu item back to 'Actions'. * Fix.GUI: Removed some incidental debug output left in final builds (minor). * Change.UpdateChecker: Cosmetic changes. * Installer.Fix: Remembers last installed path during an upgrade/reinstall. [TESTING NEEDED] * Installer.Fix: Added code to run gdiplus.exe or gdiplus-installer.exe, if present in the CWD, to install gdiplus.dll. This is opposed to downloading gdiplus. * Installer.Addition: Added hotkey to invoke Process Lasso GUI (or show its window)- ALT|CTRL|SHIFT|F12. Can be edited, post-install, in properties of start menu shortcut. {EXPERIMENTAL, MAY UNDO THIS} * Installer.Addition: Added back section to automatically show out-of-control config dialog. Section is off by default. * Installer.Change: Moved advanced menu items to a new subfolder of process lasso's start menu folder. * Installer.Change: Re-enabled advanced menu item section by default. * Installer.Fix: Now forcibly terminates running copies of processsupervisor.exe and processgovernor.exe even if they are running in other user sessions to avoid 'in-use' errors when trying to update.

Installer.Fix: Now forcibly terminates running copies of processsupervisor.exe and processgovernor.exe even if they are running in other user sessions to avoid 'in-use' errors when trying to update. Fix.Updater: Fix 'auto check' mode so it doesn't keep checking in an infinite loop when the update check dialog is opened. Fix.Updater: Fixed 'never check' setting - it wasn't getting saved/restored correctly. Fix.GUI.Updater: Fixed up updater invocation. Defaults to checking every three days. Turn 'automatically check' on and it'll just notify you if an update is available without bothering you with the dialog box otherwise.
Changes since v2.50 Addition.GUI: Added 'match pathnames' option to disallowed processes. This allows for optional additional matching on the process pathname. Addition.GUI: Added hint about most active process to system tray tooltip. Addition.Core: Added new match pathnames code. Change.Core: Considerably optimized primary loop.

TestLasso.Change: Added timeout of 7.5 seconds in case of failure.
Changes since v2.56 ・Core.Change: Changed default config and log file location to user's application data directory store. This allows per-user configuration and the ability for 'limited' users to write to their personal configuration and the log file. NOTE: Automatic migration of your INI config and log files should occur for the current user installing the product. Other users may need to reinstall Process Lasso under their accounts to invoke the migration. ・Core.Change: If we don't have write access to the log file, default it back to the user application data directory, with the assumption of a limited user stuck with an old log file pathname into the program files directory. ・Installer.Addition: Added revision history (HTML). ・Installer.Addition: Added new version migration section that copies INI and LOG files to new default locations.

Addition.GUI: Added German translation provided by ixnay. Addition.GUI: Added Dutch translation provided by sanderg. Addition.GUI: Some facilitating localization code. Addition.GUIL Added current resource language module to about box info. Fix.Core: Adjusted use of mutex object to log accesses to prevent any possible problems.
