What's new

Desktop sensors. Contributed by @opastorello in #1:

  • Motherboard fans and temperatures come from the Super I/O chip. Supported chips are Nuvoton NCT6779D and newer (ASUS, ASRock, many MSI), NCT6683D/6686D/6687D (recent MSI) and ITE IT86xx/IT87xx (Gigabyte).
  • CPU power comes from the RAPL counters on Intel and AMD when Windows does not report it.
  • NVIDIA GPUs report board power and each fan's speed.

Settings › Fans lets you hide fans and pick the one the taskbar shows.

New version notices. Once a day wStats checks GitHub for a newer release. When there is one, it tells you once with a notification. It also shows in Settings › About and in the tray and taskbar menus, which open the download. You can turn this off in Settings › About. Besides the public IP in the Network panel, it is wStats' only request to the outside. It works from this version on.

Process lists that read like Task Manager.

  • WebView2 processes count under the app that uses them: WhatsApp instead of a "Microsoft Edge WebView2" row.
  • Store apps show their real name and icon, with all their processes in one row.

Fixes

  • With the Widgets button turned off, the strip no longer disappears from the taskbar.
  • Centred taskbar icons stay centred next to the strip, as far as the space allows. This works with the strip on either side.
  • "All monitors" now also works when wStats falls back to its own window: the strip shows on every taskbar.
  • After a long-running Explorer refused to take the strip back, wStats now keeps retrying instead of giving up.

Installation

Download wStats_0.3.1_x64-setup.exe and run it. An earlier version, if installed, is upgraded and keeps your settings. The setup also updates the sensor service, to 0.2.0.

The installer is not code-signed yet: on first run, SmartScreen may warn you. Click "More info", then "Run anyway".
