Change Log since Build 697
Fixes:
1) Bug fix: If certain files are deleted in jv16 PowerTools installation folder, the program can enter a state where it runs the Initial Setup every time the program is started.
2) Bug fix: The program shipped without the list of available DNS servers used by the Internet Optimizer, causing the Internet Optimizer to not being able to run.
3) Bug fix: Software Uninstaller can incorrectly add a trailing slash to filenames, for example path c:\windows\notepad.exe can become c:\windows\notepad.exe\. While this is mostly a cosmetic issue, it can also affect the uninstallation software as if the program attempts to uninstall software and delete such path, it may fail because of the incorrectly placed trailing slash character.
4) Bug fix: Using Find All with a search term that produces zero results causes the small under window progress bar remain visible in the main window after the search has ended.
5) Bug fix: Find All's vertical position on the home screen can change for no reason.
6) Bug fix: Opening the Settings can take a very long time in some systems.
7) Fixed many cases of bad English from the program's user interface. Mostly grammar mistakes.
Improvements:
1) Major speed improvements in the entire program. In our testing systems, the Initial Setup is now on average 18% faster, System Cleaner 20% faster and Software Uninstaller up to 50% faster.
2) Major improvements to Software Uninstaller's ability to find left-over traces of software.
3) Major improvements to the System Cleaner. In our testing systems, it now finds on average 20% more errors.
4) Software Uninstaller can now better detect the installation date of software.
5) Improved the way the Find All will catch keystrokes even if its not in focus when user starts to type in the home screen.
These are the currently known bugs and issues that we are aware of and are working to fix in the near future.
Known Issues:
1) The program does not scale properly when using 4K screen or other large resolutions. This is mostly a cosmetic issue, the program works just fine, but many user interface elements are incorrectly sized.
