Actual Window Manager 8.2 (22.09.2014)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
[!] The Configuration Module now can run multiple windows at once.

For example, you can open several Window Settings windows using the
"Manage window settings" title button (separate window for each settings).

When several configuration windows are open at once, changes made within
a particular window are isolated there until you click the Apply button
in that window.

[!] Changes made in the Default Window Settings now are propagated automatically
to all existing specific window settings (provided that the old value
was the same in both Default and particular specific settings).

[+] Quick Setup wizard is added. It allows to tune up quickly the most
frequently used features (according to collected and analyzed usage
statistics) without diving into details.

[+] Compact mode for extra title buttons is now available: it displays the small
narrow button instead of the full list of active buttons.

Click on this button expands the list of active buttons so they can be used
as usual. Second click on this button or click somewhere else collapses the
list of active buttons so they do not block the view (this can be especially
useful in non-standard windows like Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox).

The compact mode activates either automatically (when the extra buttons
do not fit the title bar) or it can be set permanently for particular
windows in the Window Settings options (see the "Title Buttons - Options"
group).

[+] In addition to a right click on extra title buttons, now you can hold
the left mouse button on them for some time to invoke their extended
abilities (like context menus or special dialogs).

[+] The ability is added to specify exact secondary display position (see the
"Display Position" group in the "Multiple Monitors - Monitors' Layout
and Settings" panel).

[+] Windows 8/8.1: Option to cancel the replacement of the system Alt-Tab
Task Switcher is added.

[+] The "Popular" filter is added in the "Hotkeys - Actions" panel and set as
default filter there. It lists the most frequently used key combinations
based on the usage statistics analysis.

Compatibility with Windows 8.1 Service Pack 1 has been improved.

Windows 8/8.1: Actual Alt-Tab Switcher is improved:
- now it respects the system "Repeat delay" and "Repeat rate" values
- it does not activate Aero Peek until the switching is stopped for
at least 1 second
- it can't be moved using the Easy Window Dragging/Sizing feature
- CPU load is reduced significantly when moving a mouse over its window
- redundant redraws are fixed

Monitors' layout preview in the "Multiple Monitors - Monitors' Layout and
Settings" panel now properly aligns the disabled monitors.

After disabling the cloning of displays, they both are automatically set to
their preferred resolutions.

The "Arrange Monitors" feature now takes into account the enabled displays
only (so that if there is just a single display enabled then the "Arrange
Monitors" button gets grayed).

Compatibility of the Ignore Deactivation feature with League of Legends
and Final Fantasy XIV is restored.

Windows 7+: The speed of Desktop Divider layouts switching has been
increased significantly and the system load has been reduced.

Now it's possible to select several picture files in the "Add File" dialog
while configuring the Slideshow screen saver.

The "Move the mouse pointer along with window" option now works even if
there are no modifier keys specified.

Manage Window Settings button is a regular button now: it can be enabled
or disabled in window settings on a per-window basis as any other button.

Compatibility of the Scroll Inactive Windows feature with old versions
of Google Chrome is restored.

The window invoked by the "Copy Settings from..." command now does not
display the target Window Settings item.

[-] Downloaded setups of newer versions were installed automatically even if
the automatic updates were disabled (which prevented the rolling back to
any previous version if a newer version setup was available).

[-] In some cases Start menu submenus might appear invisible, having only
a shadow.

[-] Numerous fixes in Actual Taskbar's Jump Lists:

- some kinds of links did not open properly (e.g. sessions in PuTTY)

- improper items could be dragged out of Jump List

- items in custom categories could not be pinned/unpinned

- some items could not be unpinned (e.g. sessions in PuTTY)

- Windows x64: in some apps (e.g. PuTTY, Mozilla Firefox), links dragged out
of Jump List did not work

[-] Windows x64: Mirror windows showed white rectangle instead of mirrored
content when monitor or part of desktop was mirrored and the hardware
acceleration was disabled.

[-] In some cases, Actual Taskbar displayed the wrong icon for a window in its
taskbar button (e.g. for the Google Hangouts app).

[-] Actual Taskbar always displayed on top of Firefox windows, even if they
were fullscreen.

[-] On some configurations, cloned displays showed the wrong list of
available resolutions in the "Multiple Monitors - Monitors' Layout and
Settings" panel.

[-] Desktop Divider: Switching the layouts quickly with the mouse wheel got
stuck after some scrolls and even might cause a crash of the active app.

[-] Desktop Divider: In some cases tile size could not be set exactly in pixels
using the Resize button while editing a layout.

[-] Windows 8.1: A workaround for a system bug has been added to reduce
the memory leaks in Windows Explorer when using the Favorite Folders and/or
Recent Folders title button.

[-] The Ignore Deactivation feature made apps crash if it was activated via
hotkey with the "Compatibility mode" option enabled.

[-] After being pressed, user-added title buttons affected the state of
the factory title button of the same kind and displayed the wrong hint.

[-] In some cases extra title buttons in Microsoft Word 2013 might disappear.

[-] Extra title buttons did not work in Autodesk Design Review 2013.

[-] In the Aero visual theme, Visual Studio 2012 got hung upon closing.

[-] Extra title buttons did not appear in X1 Search.

[-] NuSphere PhpEd 12 crashed when trying to scroll the File Explorer view.

[-] Windows 7: Tooltips did not display in command prompt windows.

[-] Avast! notification area popup did not close in the Actual Taskbar.

[-] Unloading 1st Clock right after restoring from hibernation
made Windows Explorer hung.

[-] Drag to Scroll feature worked inconsistently in Process Explorer,
Process Lasso, system Window Firewall applet and the latest version of
Google Chrome.

[-] The "Use hardware acceleration" option did not switch in the Configuration
window for mirroring-related title button/window menu/startup actions.

[-] In some cases hotkey combinations worked twice although being pressed once
(for example, Ctrl-C worked like Ctrl-C-C and triggered the appearance of
the ABBYY Lingvo window).

[-] In some cases, clipboard template did not paste into a current active
window.

[-] In some cases, after switching the Virtual Desktops mode in either way
(classic to independent, or vice versa), windows got duplicated on all
virtual desktops despite their current selection.

[-] Unwanted extra buttons of Microsoft Excel/PowerPoint or Adobe Acrobat
appeared in the Virtual Desktops Switcher after switching the desktops
with those programs running.

[-] Canceling the download in the "Check for Updates" dialog caused an error.

[-] Pressing Enter in the "Check for Updates" dialog after the download was
started caused the restart of downloading.

[-] In the Configuration window, multi-line edit fields reset their scroll bars
to the beginning after typing a character when the content exceeded the size
of the edit field.
