complete revision-previous changelogs obsolete
Some GUI update
Reactive event detection mechanism can be now chosen on 64bit when above is toggled ("Show advanced and experimental features")
Added additional passive event detection mechanism - it doesn't support on move etc. events, simplifying is non-constant detection(shell related)
"Show advanced and experimental features" was added again to Center it shows more features etc.
Added "thumbnail streaming" - visible after toggling above ("Show advanced and experimental features") - currently affects window deformation effects like jelly windows. It updates window content while deforming (non-layered)
Added "What to know?" beside of those above, has useful "cocoa cups calculator" - which approximates number of cocoa cups that could be prepared and drank during highly approximated development time.
Updated some components
Updated compressor
Window thumbnailing engine can be now changed after toggling above ("Show advanced and experimental features")
Changed "One more thing" window to - "What to know?" which now contains useful informations to get started with - enjoy more Nimi Visuals.
Updated database component
Some other changes
Thumbnailing mechanism update - capturing layered windows should be much faster and less noticeable
Compacted window deformation effects on core side
Loops & in-time cached values search etc. - optimized
Update of thumbnail generating effects - better memory handling
Updated Jelly Windows and related effects - Frozen-jelly windows and Fluid windows - using new algorithm, should be faster and smoother on GPU side
Other changes, fixes & updates
Fixed colorization bug - now it's correctly handled on non capable systems
Added link to online services page
Updated Nimi Hello authentication protocol
Other small changes and updates
Increased compatibility with X64 architecture
Complete revision of API declarations - and update of related code: effects, core, event mechanisms, components etc.
Improved reactive event detection mechanism
Improved UAC compatibility
Reorganized language library to new linear format. Optimized memory usage.
Other changes and updates
Fixed tray related positioning (like of Nimi Center)
Fixed on activation event handling
Fixed NimiGPU now correctly detects software mode (worst quality is choosen then in favour of better performance)
NimiGPU - component and releated effects and event processing has much better performance, behaviour and animations of many were also improved like jelly windows for example
Added new package category tools accessed directly from Nimi Center - currently there are two related to taskbar changing size of application previews and alt-tab ones
Updated core, event processing mechanisms like on creation and restore etc. related ones for example
Fixed and updated few effects
Other changes and updates
additional packages search mechanism to Nimi Center.
on window creation thumbnailing
packages search mechanism in Nimi Center
Added perspective fade effect (NimiGPU)
Updated event processing mechanism, on creation events processing
Updated Bulgarian translation
other changes
other updates and optmizations
added history navigation per window by clicking iglo symbol
added menu entry to clear program history
updated ads-clearing and overall processing speed
data directory was moved to the same as executable (to make application more portable)
rewritten wallpaper set mechanism
improved components multi-threading and memory management
added progress dialog for changing settings
added Bulgarian translation
Updated compressor, now program directory can be choosen on start
splitted on creation effects in two categories, with different processing mechanism(rewritten mechanims for all on creation effects)
updated search mechanism in center panel
other changes
effects won't generate thumbnail two times
Italian translation strings order was corrected
event handling mechanism improved
Added new Swedish translation
Fixed some on creation, minimize etc.
swirl effects displays proper animation
no "jump" when window move and resize trigerring for jelly-fluid-frozen-jelly effects
improved handling of windows creating event; other minnor fixes and updates
Fixed authentication isn't prompted second time if set manually, last handle is passed correctly to on activation effects
Updated core as well as new build is signed and uses standardized run policies. From our tests it can run with UAC and allow only signed executables policy enabled - where testing environment was Microsoft Windows 7 Professional, UAC set to highest level and enforce cryptographic signatures on interactive applications that require elevation of privilege policy enabled. Please acknowledge that by UAC default behaviour some highly elevated applications might not be detected and supported by application.
