Vigil Task Manager v0.4.0

Added

• Updates from the settings: the current version, "Check for updates" and "Download and install". A
  small dot on Settings shows when a new version is out; there are no pop-ups.
• Automatic check at most once a day, switchable in the settings. This is the only network connection.
• vigil --update installs the latest release from a terminal.
• Releases carry a minisign signature of SHA256SUMS.txt. An update is installed only if the signature
  and the checksum match.

Vigil Task Manager v0.3.0

Added

• Windows installer (VigilSetup-<version>.exe): per-user installation without administrator rights,
  updates in place, removable through Windows Settings. The portable zip is still available.
• Windows: application icons from the executables; processes are named by their file description.

Changed

• Quieter interface: system UI font, calmer colors, fewer borders. Removed the resource tiles and filter
  chips on the Processes page, the CPU/memory summary in the navigation and the permanent status bar.
• Processes page: plain group headings, aligned column titles, heat map only for noticeable usage,
  GPU columns hidden without GPU data, compact detail strip (off by default).
• Performance page: borderless device list and figures, temperatures as values instead of extra graphs.

Performance

• The Processes page no longer redraws at the display refresh rate; idle CPU usage dropped from about
  10 % to below 1 % of one core.
• Windows: one data sample takes about 10 ms instead of 39 ms (native process, disk and network queries,
  per-process caching, no periodic WMI queries).

Fixed

• Windows: disks showed 0 % active time; active time, response time and capacity are now reported per drive.
• Windows: kernel CPU time, suspended processes, cache sizes and hardware-reserved memory were missing.
• Windows: garbled names for executables with a malformed version resource.
