Hello to every SyMenu user.
The 1.14 version is out and these are the SyMenu new features:
- Customizable recent items list
- New customizable elements added to SyProgram: Home page and Version
- Enhanced the flexibility in using the mouse on the configuration form tree
- New splash screen
And only for the eyes of SyMenu lovers, here are some technical details:
- New zipping library (Ionic.Zip.dll)
- The item's guid (is a sort of identifier that SyMenu creates for every SyItem) is stored on the configuration file
- Configuration files are moved into the Config folder and are now compressed to increase performances
The last news is very important because it become impossible to downgrade to a lower SyMenu version without losing the configurations.
Well the configuration formats are not changed but now the file are zipped. So if someone wants to downgrade to 1.13 or lower preserving his configurations, he has to downgrade the program, unzip the configuration files and move them to the SyMenu root folder.
The configuration files are now zipped because in some slow portable devices, the time lost to read and write these files represented a big problem. Zipping the files, the read/write operations become faster even if the program has to make some expensive operation in memory (unzip/zip data).
If someone of you wants help with some manual benchmark (or personal sensations) please let me know.
Enjoy.
