FIXES: |
- Fixes the Max Battery Issue where when the number of current states is 1, the applet did not throttle the processor when a load was applied to the system. This fix will cause it to throttle as expected. - Fixes a very rare case when in between the time when the applet loads and acquires transition control and the time when it actually starts to set processor states, if a thermal condition occurs, the applet might not switch the processor state to BOP. Instead, it will leave the processor state to whatever the BIOS set it to. For example when the applet starts, if the processor state is set to 0 but the current number of states is reported as just 1, then applet might not switch the processor to BOP. It will leave the processor at state 0 all the time. - Fixes Japanese InstallShield issue where the text was rotated 90 degrees. - Fixes an issue where when the processor is at state 0 (Max Perf), and the currently available states returned by BIOS changes, the applet will not set the processor state to reflect the new Max Performance state. Instead, the processor state will remain at state 0. With this fix, the processor state will be set to the new Max Perf state as calculated based on the currently available states reported by BIOS. - Fixes an issue with Automatic where when a load is present in the system, the applet set the processor state to 0 (when all the states are available), and if the currently available number of states changes dynamically with the load still present, the applet will not set the processor state to reflect the new Max. Performance state. Instead the processor state will remain at state 0 until the load is removed. With this fix, the processor state will always be within the state boundaries as determined by the currently available states. |
