File Release Notes and Changelog
Release Name: 1.1.96
Notes: ### readme ### 'radeontweaker' is intended to be a powerful, easy-to-use tool capable of tweaking ati's radeon graphics cards. it's written in c using the gtk+ widget set's win32 port, and is freely distributable under the terms of the gnu gpl. please see 'changelog.txt' for the latest release information. submit bug reports at http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/radeontweaker/. ### authors ### todd kulesza <fflewddur@dropline.net> daniel giralte <lordlobo@execpc.com> thanks go to: ~ icheumon <ichneumon@rage3d.com>, for his work compiling a guide to radeon registry settings, which we used extensively. ~ humus <emiper-8@student.luth.se>, who showed me howto make real-time gamma adjustments and for making another kick-ass tweaker. ~ himself <himself@warp.nfld.net>, for allowing me to user his resumefix and setgamma programs. ~ patrick julien <patrick.julien@videotron.ca>, for his re-initialize display patch ~ vahur and paddy, who learned the dark secrets of the radeon's registers and shared the knowledge with the rest of us :) ~ i'd also like to thank everyone who's ever posted comments about radeontweaker at one of the forums we frequent, mainly sourceforge.net and rage3d.com... we couldn't have done this without your input! :) background noise: green day, weezer, bob dylan, radiohead, nin, sleater-kinney, mighty mighty bosstones, underworld, orbital, bt, the cranberries, jimmy buffett, rilo kiley, frosted, ozma, the getup kids, fatboy slim. ### installation ### the installer for this product was created using 'installer vise' from mindvision software. for more information on 'installer vise', contact: mindvision software 5901 north 58th street lincoln, ne 68507 voice: (402) 323-6600 fax: (402) 323-6611 e-mail: mindvision@mindvision.com http://www.mindvision.com ### requirements ### radeontweaker requires that the gtk+ 1.3 libraries be installed on your system. if they are not detected, the installer will open a web page where you can download them. if you're compiling from source you'll also need the development packages for gtk+ 1.3 and setclk 1.01.0002. ### you-know-who-you-are ### for les, who deals with my techno-addiction without complaint. =) <http://www.jsentertainment.com/les.htm>
Changes: version 1.1.96 - 7.11.01 (the rabid-bunny release) * the reg and monitor locations now default to the highest number detected * radeontweaker no longer overwrites your modified profiles * the per-tweak 'remove from registry' command works again * radeontweaker will abort if run in 8-bit color now, rather than randomly crashing after a few minutes * possibly fixed the numerous error message popups (i could never replicate them but found+fixed a possible error in the code) * possibly fixed the random page-fault crashes (i could never replicate them but discovered a bug in mscvrt.dll with non-ms-compiled apps. it should be fixed now.) version 1.1.95 - 6.28.01 (the geek-overthrow release) * updated ati default profile * updated faq * win2k/winnt user permission problems resolved * added two operation flashpoint profiles * many fixes to the way the 60hz fix was implemented - this should work for everyone now :) * began working on a basic infrastructure to simplify the translation process -- i get e-mail about radeontweaker from all over the globe, and i think people would appreciate it if it ran in their native language :) * removed select options from the profile system, such as the 60hz refresh fix, the dvd options, the flat-panel fixes, etc... things that people either want enabled all of the time or do not want at all. version 1.1.94 - 6.19.01 (the last-thoughts-on-old-folk-singers release) * fixed a profile bug * the win2k 60hz fix now allow the user to choose from 60hz, 75hz, 85hz, and 100hz. * added several new icons * added a 'gnu/linux' section to the driver installation guide * added the ability to disable the extra programs from running at system startup * added the ability to choose local or global setups (i.e. global setup means every user on a machine will have the same clock settings, gamma settings, etc. local setup means settings are tailored on a per-user basis) * added the ability to select which monitor you are using (needed to ensure the 60hz fix alters the right reg location) * all of the installer issues should be sorted out now * minor ui improvements * faq update * added a 'tomb raider' profile version 1.1.93 - 6.12.01 (the parisan-in-aluminum release) * further installation fixes * relinked, leaving out the gnu-intl library which was causing problems for lots of users version 1.1.92 - 06.11.01 (the just-a-hint-of-sim release) * further updates to the custom resolution code * the installation program now checks for and removes conflicting versions of radeontweaker after saving any detected profiles or custom shortcuts * added the win2k 60hz refresh rate fix * included a 'check for updates' link version 1.1.91 - 06.09.01 (the lover-of-alliteration release) * fixed custom resolution errors * minor doc updates * radeontweaker now saves the username you enter into the 'author' field of the profile dialog version 1.1.90 - 06.06.01 (the light-tripped-camo release) * rearranged installation structure to comply with individual user setups rather than system-wide setups * recompiled against a newer version of the mingw c and win32 libraries for improved stability and smaller size * added custom resolution tab (finally) * added tweaks for cpu priority * added a link the radeontweaker's homepage to the installer * updated the faq * removed the gtk libraries from the radeontweaker package. they are now available as a separate package which radeontweaker checks for at install time. this cuts the size of the download down by one megabyte :) version 1.1.8 - 05.17.01 (the back-in-88 release) * reorganized the tcl&dvd tab * added a ten-second timeout to the overclocking 'yes/no' dialog * made radeontweaker fit nicely within an 800x600 screen * minor cosmetic improvements * added 13 direct3d keys and 10 directdraw keys * added gdi and hardware cursor options to win9x * added 'disable file protection' option to win2k/nt * added an 'info' menu and implemented a 'driver details' dialog * cleaned up a lot of callback code which allowed me to turn on compiler optimizations - radeontweaker is now a smaller file and uses less memory * gave the installer a purple&black background. oh yes, it is rad. =) version 1.1.7 - 05.12.01 (the walls-dripping-pink release) * radeontweaker will no longer load upon startup if it has no task to complete (i.e. set the clock speed, gamma, etc.) * fixed an error retrieving the memory timing * added profiles for tribes 2, 3dmark 2001, and counter-strike * overclocking tab includes a save/revert dialog incase you set the clock too high and have rt set to alter the registry with the new (and unusable) clock speed * minor doc updates version 1.1.6 - 5.06.01 (the third-times-a-charm release) * fixed librt's optimizations to work on win2k/nt * added more accurate rounding of memory and clock speeds version 1.1.5 - 5.06.01 (the grrl-on-the-frontline release) * added support for resumefix.exe and made rt play nice with rage3d tweaker - thanks for the code, himself :) * added hotkey support via setgamma.exe * shortcuts now use the icon for the executable they point to instead of radeontweaker's icon * altered the docs to make enable/disable recommendations clearer * small librt optimizations - the executable file size is smaller in this version than the previous version for the first time ever :) * added a counter-strike/dod profile version 1.1.4 - 5.02.01 (the hyperactive-forest-of-decay release) * fixed win2k/nt driver detection (for real, this time) * cleaned up the gchar->gpointer mess with callbacks * cleaned up the gint->gpointer mess with callbacks * updated the documentation with information that's been discovered over the past few months * yay for spell-checkers ;) * added an option to change the default shortcut directory * added the ability to compare the differences between two profiles version 1.1.3 -
