The in-app What's New dialog shows the notes for this release automatically after every update.

Windows 10 / 11 · 64-bit

v2.4.14 Under the hood

Added

  • New file-size CI gate. The codebase had ten files over the 500-line cap; today it has zero.

Improved

  • Tweaks tab dropped from one 1,500-line file to ten focused ones — same UX, much less spaghetti.
  • Stripped decorative stock icons from every page header. Title + description only, less visual noise.

Note Pure cleanup. Auto-update will still pull it in — the bundle is leaner now.

v2.4.13 Cleaner dashboard, less clutter

Added

  • New Hardware tab. Six car-dashboard gauges (CPU, GPU, RAM, VRAM, temps, power) with red zones. Tabs are drag-reorderable.
  • First-paint splash screen for the app itself. No more pure black while it boots.

Fixed

  • 'Optimize' button works for free users again. It was accidentally gated as premium for one release. Always free.

Improved

  • Dashboard got a haircut. Removed the duplicate hardware tiles and the floating preset buttons. It's now status, optimize, profile chips, quick save/load. That's it.
  • Crash reports got a lot more useful. Every error now ships with the GPU model, driver version, OS build, and a video replay of the last 30s of UI.

v1.14.8 Fewer false alarms

Fixed

  • NIC tweaks no longer fail with 'no active network adapter found' on systems with VPN or Docker adapters.

Improved

  • The color control slider now tells you WHY it failed instead of just saying the call failed.
  • Auth error messages are now more specific — 'email already registered', 'session expired', 'email not verified'.
