MaxTo Versionshistorie

2017.07

Bug fix release that fixes the most annoying bugs in MaxTo.

The largest change here is updating to .NET Framework 4.7, which allows us to support running monitors at different DPI, less known as "per-monitor DPI awareness".

Besides this improvement, we have fixed quite a few outstanding bugs.

• Bug Fix error that hides notification icon if MaxTo is started before Windows Explorer.
• Bug Fix potential crash induced in other programs when signing out of Windows.
• Improvement 4K/high-DPI support (aka. per-monitor DPI awareness).
• Bug Compatibility shim: ignore NVidia apps (which can solve issues with iCloud)
• Bug Compatibility shim: ignore Unity 3D
• Bug Compatibility shim: ignore MiiCollab

Bug-fix release that fixes all automatically reported crashes since version 2015.03.

2015.03

• Bug Crash with iTunes for Windows.

2015.02

Loads of bug fixes and a few new features. For example, we fixed the bug where MaxTo does not list all of these great improvements:

• Feature Swap with windows in region hotkey.
• Improvement Notification icon indicates if MaxTo is in passive mode.
• Bug MaxTo did not respond correctly to working area changes.
• Bug Keyboard shortcuts would not move windows past breaks in the working area, e.g. if the taskbar divided two monitors.

• Bug Installer error "Failed to correctly acquire...".
• Bug Error when loading helper files linked to outdated dependency.
• Bug Crash when emulating windows that did not report an icon.
• Improvement Moving windows using keyboard shortcuts now wraps around (moving in one direction gets you back to where you started), and some other small improvements to the algorithm.
• Bug The next version will list the features that are there when updating, not just a silly string.

2014.12

• Bug Crash after installing. This was caused by MaxTo trying to run its helper processes from the wrong folder.
• Improvement Region preview windows were sometimes very self-conscious and hid behind other windows. Some counselling and this window always wants to be on top.

Another weekend, another release.

• Bug LINE desktop client added to compatibility list.
• Bug ManicTime added to compatibility list.
