In this release we are introducing several new features and improvements to enhance the user experience and expand the functionality of the application.
Systray now supports a new hook mode that injects a DLL into explorer.exe for more reliable tray icon detection. Enable it with use_hook: true in your systray config. Please report any issues you encounter with this new mode to help us improve it.
We introduced the new GitHub Notifications Provider, SSH Provider and Windows Terminal Provider for quick launch, allowing users to easily access their GitHub notifications and manage SSH connections and Windows Terminal profiles.
CPU, Memory and GPU widgets now have popup functionality that can be triggered by clicking on the widget, providing more detailed information, GPU widget now uses a native API for improved performance and reliability with support for a wider range of graphics cards.
