ProcRipper v2.0.0-beta — Changelog

Release Date: 2025-12-04
Previous Version: v1.1.0-alpha

Overview

This release introduces a full architectural rewrite with hybrid CPU support, module-level optimization, and intelligent resource management.

Added Features

Hybrid CPU Topology Detection

  • Automatic P-core/E-core detection for Intel 12th–14th gen CPUs
  • Physical core detection via Win32_Processor
  • Fallback logic for non-hybrid systems
  • Model-specific heuristics for popular hybrid CPUs

Advanced Affinity Control System

  • New affinity keywords:

    • p-core
    • e-core
    • auto
    • ht on / ht off / ht only

  • Dynamic affinity calculation

  • Affinity caching with automatic invalidation

Module-Level Optimization

  • DLL-level thread priority via module=ModuleName.dll,Priority
  • Module enumeration using EnumProcessModulesEx
  • Targeted optimization for game components
  • Duplicate module application prevention

Logging System

  • Rotating log files (keeps 5)
  • Console + file logging
  • Verbose mode toggle via Ctrl+Shift+V
  • Millisecond-precision timestamps

Intelligent Monitoring

  • Smart process watchers
  • Cycle-based activation and timeout
  • Separate process and thread watchers
  • Conditional optimization

Global Hotkey System

  • Ctrl+Shift+H — Toggle console
  • Ctrl+Shift+G — Force optimizations
  • Ctrl+Shift+V — Toggle verbose mode
  • 200 ms hotkey rate limiting

Enhanced Configuration Syntax

[ProcessName.exe,Priority,Affinity,DisableBoost]
module=ModuleName.dll,Priority
ThreadName=Priority,Affinity,DisableBoost

Thread Priority Stability

  • Blacklisting for threads that revert priority repeatedly
  • Configurable MAX_REVERT_ATTEMPTS
  • Priority verification
  • Blacklist reset on restart

Multi-Interval Monitoring Architecture

  • 100 ms fast checks
  • 5 s process/thread optimization checks
  • 7-minute system scans
  • 20 s thread verification
  • 50 ms base interval

Breaking Changes

Configuration Requirements

  • Old configs load but require updating
  • Requires System.Management
  • More strict parsing/validation

API & Behavior Changes

  • Updated method signatures
  • New monitoring intervals
  • More aggressive exception handling
  • Different CPU/memory behavior

System Requirements

  • Administrator access required
  • Limited features on pre-Windows 10 systems
  • Hybrid CPU support optimized for Intel 12th–14th gen

Migration Notes

Upgrade Steps

  1. Back up existing .GCFG files
  2. Review new configuration syntax
  3. Test with defaults first
  4. Monitor logs in /log/

Initialization Changes

  • First-run CPU topology scan adds 2–5 seconds
  • Log directory auto-created
  • Hotkeys active immediately

Performance Characteristics

  • Reduced CPU usage overall
  • Faster thread/affinity adjustments
  • Slight increase in memory usage (5–10 MB)

Known Issues & Limitations

Platform Compatibility

  • Hybrid CPU detection may miss uncommon mobile CPUs
  • Module optimization may require VM read privileges
  • Reduced functionality on older Windows builds

Functional Limits

  • Blacklisting may be too strict for certain apps
  • Hotkey collisions possible
  • Requires admin rights
  • Some protected processes inaccessible

Performance Considerations

  • Topology detection adds startup delay
  • Heavy logging affects slow HDDs
  • Monitoring runs at normal priority

System Requirements

  • OS: Windows 7 or later
  • .NET Framework: 4.7.2 or later
  • Privileges: Administrator
  • CPU: x86-64 (hybrid optimization tuned for Intel 12th–14th gen)
