WARNING. This new version has important database changes and in first run your current database will be updated and can take several time. In my case more than 3000 profiles takes 1 hour. Be patient, the wait will be worth it.

 

What's new of 0.016 version ???

- ADDED detection of number of CPU cores and disable multicpu options if not multicore CPU exists in system.

- ADDED Multithread compression for RAR files forcing if available to compress and get extra compression speed.
