CPU Affinity Tool v1.1.5

CPU Affinity Tool v1.1.5 - Changelog

Core & OS Integration

• Process Priority Management: Added support for setting the priority of the current process.
• Improved Background Execution: The application now automatically sets its own process priority to "Below Normal" to minimize interference with high-load applications.
• Linux Enhancements: Implemented process search by name and better process management for Linux systems.
• Windows API Improvements: Enhanced Windows process priority handling and process information retrieval.

CPU Presets & Detection

• Regex-based Matching: Migrated CPU detection logic to use regular expressions for more flexible and accurate hardware identification.
• Multi-rule Support: CPU presets now support multiple matching rules per configuration, allowing a single preset to cover more hardware variations.
• New Hardware Support: Updated and optimized cpu_presets.json with improved rules for modern Intel (including Core Ultra/Arrow Lake) and AMD (Ryzen) processors.
• P-Core/E-Core Logic: Refined handling of Performance and Efficient cores, including support for P-cores without Hyper-Threading (e.g., Arrow Lake).

App State & Stability

• State Backup Rotation: Improved data safety by implementing a rotating backup system for state.json (keeping .old1 and .old2 versions).
• Application Monitoring: Added settings_matched tracking to monitor whether running applications maintain their assigned CPU affinity and priority settings.
• Repaint Optimization: The UI now requests repaints more efficiently when background monitoring detects changes.

Testing & Technical

• Expanded Test Suite: Added comprehensive unit tests for CPU preset matching and state storage management.
• Dependency Updates: Updated Cargo.lock with necessary library improvements.
• Code Quality: Refined internal models for AppState and RunningApp for better maintainability and status tracking.
