DShutdown Portable 1.72.1 has been released. DShutdown is a stand-alone program that allows you to easily shutdown and wake up local or remote PCs, with many specific options.

Features

DShutdown supports more than just standard shutdown options, there are options relating to "pure" shutdown (such as the "force after wait" option which causes a forced, but 'clear' shutdown). There are monitoring options that allow you to shutdown a PC after a particular application terminates (useful at the end of compressing several files). There are also options to shutdown a PC when Internet traffic reduces below a particular data-rate (useful to shutdown a PC when it has finished a large download). It is also possible to intercept a shutdown request, initiated by the user or an application, and to then execute the shutdown request with selected options from DShutdown. (For example: to simultaneously shut down all Lan PCs when the server shuts down). DShutdown doesn't force a power-off without logging off and saving settings. DShutdown instead provides a means to log-off, shutdown and safely power-off your PC. Administrators who use roaming profiles will appreciate the benefits of this feature.

HTTrack is a free (GPL, libre/free software) and easy-to-use offline browser utility. You can download the contents of entire web sites from the Internet to a local directory for offline viewing. HTTrack allows you to download a World Wide Web site from the internet to a local directory, building recursively all directories, getting HTML, images, and other files from the server to your computer. HTTrack arranges the original site's relative link-structure.

Simply open a page of the "mirrored" website in your browser, and you can browse the site from link to link, as if you were viewing it online. HTTrack also can update existing mirrored sites and resume interrupted site downloads. It crawls M3U and AAM files and can cache to a ZIP file. It also handles CSS. HTTrack is fully configurable, and has an integrated help system. WinHTTrack is the Windows 9x/NT/2000/XP release of HTTrack, and WebHTTrack the Linux/Unix/BSD release.

DTaskManager Portable 1.51 has been released. DTaskManager is a task manager specifically engineered to give additional functionality that the Windows bundled Task Manager does not have.

DTaskManager has three different ways to close a process, as the "termination request", the standard "forced termination" with dialogue tolerance, and the "forced termination" of any type of process, bypassing all permissions (it can also terminate running system processes). DTaskManager allows you to suspend and reactivate a process (as in Linux). This is useful, for example, to temporarily suspend a task that uses system resources when you don't want to terminate it (such as a DivX encoding process). DTaskManager allows you to select more than one process at a time, and terminate all of them "simultaneously". DTaskManager does not require confirmations. Click and it works.

Version 4.00

   1. RAR decompression speed is improved. Depending on data type,
      decompression can be up to 30% faster than in previous versions.

      Both the general RAR algorithm and most of special RAR multimedia
      methods benefit from this improvement. The only module of RAR
      algorithm, which is not affected, is "Text compression" method.
   
   2. Changes in ISO support:
   
      a) UDF support is upgraded to UDF 2.50 revision. It makes possible
         to unpack most of Blu-ray ISO files;

      b) when browsing UDF ISO file, UDF revision number is displayed
         after the "UDF" format name in WinRAR address bar
         and in archive information dialog;

      c) WinRAR sets the folder modification date when unpacking folders
         stored in UDF and ISO9660 files.
   
   3. Changes in password dialog:

      a) WinRAR uses the same format of password dialog both when archiving
         and extracting, so "Show password" option is available also
         when extracting;

      b) "Organize passwords..." button in password dialog provides
         access to password organizer interface, where you can specify
         your frequently used passwords. You will be able to access these
         saved passwords using the drop down list or autocomplete feature
         in password dialog.

         It is important to know that saved passwords are not encrypted
         and anybody having access to your computer can view them.
         Use "Organize passwords" feature only if your computer is
         protected from unauthorized access;

      c) "Use for all archives" option is available in password dialog
         when unpacking several archives at once. You can utilize it
         to apply an entered password to all archives.

         If you use this option with an empty password, WinRAR will skip
         all encrypted archives;

      d) Unlike previous versions, the password from default compression
         profile is not used for extraction.
         
         If you wish to use the same password for all extracting archives,
         press "Organize passwords..." button in the password dialog
         and define a new password entry, specifying "*" file mask
         in "Select for archives" field.
   
   4. In Windows 7 WinRAR will display the total operation progress
      also on WinRAR icon on Windows taskbar. You can disable it using
      "Taskbar progress bar" option on "General" page of WinRAR settings.

   5. Numerous Unicode support improvements allow to process non-English
      file names more smoothly. These improvements include:

      a) better Unicode handling in WinRAR in "Rename", "Convert",
         "Find" and other commands, in folder tree panel, in password
         request dialog and in many other parts of WinRAR interface;

      b) correctly displayed Unicode names in WinRAR items in Explorer
         context menus;

      c) Unicode support in .lng files, making WinRAR localization
         possible for Unicode only languages.
   
   6. Changes in -x switch syntax. Now you can specify a wildcard
      exclusion mask for folders. Such mask must have the trailing '\'
      character, like -x*tmp*\ or -x*\temp\

   7. New "Extract relative paths" option in "Advanced" part of extraction
      dialog. If you browse some archive subfolder in WinRAR shell
      and enable "Extract relative paths" option, the path part up to
      and including the current subfolder will be removed from extracted
      file paths.
     
      For example, if you are inside of "Backup\MyData" archive folder
      and extract "Images" folder, it will be extracted as "Images",
      not as "Backup\MyData\Images".

      This option is the new default extraction mode, but you can change
      the default back to WinRAR 3.x style. Just select "Extract full paths"
      and then press "Save settings" in "General" part of extraction dialog.
   
   8. Windows 98, Windows Me and Windows NT are not supported by WinRAR
      and WinRAR self-extracting modules anymore. Minimum Windows version
      required for WinRAR 4.0 is Windows 2000.
     
      If you need to run WinRAR on older Windows, you can download
      previous WinRAR versions from ftp://ftp.rarlab.com/rar

   9. If TAR, TAR.GZ or TAR.BZ2 archive contains symbolic or hard links
      and if destination file system is NTFS, WinRAR will create these
      links when unpacking such archive. WinRAR will create symbolic links
      as symbolic and hard links as hard in Windows Vista and newer
      and it will create all links as hard in older Windows.

      If destination file system is FAT32 or any other not supporting
      file links, WinRAR will skip links when unpacking TAR, TAR.GZ
      and TAR.BZ2 archives.
   
  10. Recovery volume processing involves less disk seek operations
      resulting in higher performance.

  11. You can select Windows 7 library in tree panel in extraction dialog
      and WinRAR will use its default save location as the destination path.

  12. "Report" command allows to select HTML, Unicode text and usual text
      as output format for report file. Unlike previous WinRAR versions,
      now WinRAR preservers Unicode characters in reports when using HTML
      or Unicode text format. So non-English characters in file names
      will be displayed properly in such reports.
   
  13. Message list in GUI SFX archives displays only operation status
      and error messages. It does not contain names of all extracted files
      anymore. This change improves the speed and reduces memory requirements
      for SFX archives containing a large number of files. Also it makes
      easier to locate error messages, because they are not hidden among
      extracted file names.

  14. GUI SFX archives display "Extract" button instead of "Install"
      if no "Setup" or "Presetup" commands are present in the archive
      comment. If you prefer "Install" button, but do not need to
      execute any setup programs, you can add "Setup=<>" command.
 
  15. WinRAR displays the current percent above the operation progress bar
      when repairing an archive containing the recovery record
      and when processing recovery volumes.

  16. WinRAR limits the maximum possible volume size to 4 GB minus 1 byte
      when creating RAR volumes on a disk with FAT or FAT32 file system
      in volume size autodetecting mode. These file systems do not support
      4 GB and larger files.

  17. If "Wait if other WinRAR copies are active" option is enabled
      and WinRAR waits for another copy, you can press "Continue" button
      in command progress window to force WinRAR to stop waiting.
      So now "Continue" button allows to override the state of
      "Wait if other WinRAR copies are active" option for current operation.

  18. WinRAR displays one password request instead of two, when saving
      an encrypted file back to RAR or ZIP archive after modifying it
      in some external editor. Previous WinRAR versions usually requested
      the password twice, both when extracting the original file
      and archiving its modified copy. Only RAR archives with encrypted
      file names were processed with the single password prompt.

  19. New error code 10 ("no files") is added to list of error codes
      returned in command line mode by RAR and WinRAR. This new code
      can be returned by archive, extract, delete and repair commands.
      It means that RAR did not find any files matched the specified
      file or archive mask.
 
  20. File name area in file overwrite dialog occupies several lines now.
      It makes possible to display much longer names.
 
  21. Now switch -ep3 converts not only disk letters, but also UNC paths.
      So \\server\share will be converted to __server\share when archiving
      and restored to the original \\server\share when extracting with -ep3.

  22. New "Background extraction" option in "Advanced" part of extraction
      dialog places WinRAR into background, when extracting files.
      You can save its default state with "Save settings" button in "General"
      part of extraction dialog, just like for other extraction options.

      "Background archiving" option from the default compression profile
      does not affect the extraction behavior anymore.

  23. "Mode..." button in operation progress window is enabled also
      when extracting or testing archives. It provides access to
      "Command parameters" dialog, where you can set "Turn PC off when done"
      option for extraction and test operations.

      Previously this dialog was accessible only when archiving.

  24. Bugs fixed:

      a) renaming a file in archive could also rename all other files
         with the same name in other folders of the same archive;

      b) previous versions displayed the wrong total packed size
         in "Info" command for multivolume CAB archives;

      c) in ZIP archives 'U' (update) and 'F' (fresh) commands could
         erroneously update even files not specified in the command line.
         It happened only for files in current folder which names matched
         files in ZIP archive. This bug was not present in usual 'A' (add)
         archiving mode.

The dreaded Password Manager Muncher-Monster was defeated in an office on the fifth floor at the Opera Software ASA Headquarters in Oslo, Norway a little under an hour ago. A heroic developer from the Norwegian browser vendor and connected technology innovator Opera Software went head to head against the beast in what can only be described as a heroic battle.

The Desktop Quality Assurance of All Things That Can Possibly Go Wrong Department was relieved by this heroic act. The dreaded beast had ravished on the defenseless pioneering spirits that had ventured out to test the latest changes including severe bugs and data loss situations in the Opera desktop product.

The QA department notes that the big red warning urging the adventurous to back-up first is there for a good reason. “It’s important to back everything up, always.” says one passwordless QA.

Known issues

    * Readability.com and Instapaper.com bookmarklets not loading (accessing document in iframe appended from external script)

Google hat seinen Browser Chrome in der stabilen Version 10 veröffentlicht. Der Browser bietet dank Crankshaft eine nochmals deutlich schnellere Javascript-Engine, überarbeitete und verlinkbare Einstellungen und soll sicherer sein.

Nur drei Wochen nach Veröffentlichung der Beta von Chrome 10 folgt heute bereits die stabile Version des Browsers. Die größte Neuerung stellen die unter dem Namen Crankshaft entwickelten Javascript-Optimierungen dar, die sich besonders auf rechenintensive Applikationen auswirken sollen. So ist der Browser in Googles eigener V8 Benchmark Suite rund 66 Prozent schneller als sein Vorgänger.

Mit Crankshaft führt Google eine adaptive Kompilierung ein, so dass häufig ausgeführte Codeteile besonders aggressiv optimiert werden. Zunächst wird sämtlicher Code mit dem Basis-Compiler besonders schnell übersetzt, ohne dass dabei größere Optimierungen vorgenommen werden. Im Vergleich zum V8-Compiler, der in Chrome 9 zum Einsatz kommt, soll Crankshafts Basis-Compiler etwa doppelt so schnell sein und etwa 30 Prozent weniger Code erzeugen.

Ergänzt wird dieser Basis-Compiler durch einen Runtime-Profiler, der die Ausführung überwacht, um besonders häufig genutzte Codeteile zu identifizieren. Ist das der Fall, springt ein "optimierender Compiler" ein, der den Code erneut übersetzt und weitgehende Optimierungen vornimmt. Sollten die Optimierungen zu weit gehen, greift eine Deoptimierung. Dabei kommt dann wieder der vom Basis-Compiler erzeugte Code zum Einsatz.

Video: Google zeigt das neue Einstellungsmenü in Chrome 10 (2:03)

Browsereinstellung verlinkbar

Die Browsereinstellungen hat Google ebenfalls grundlegend überarbeitet: So werden die Einstellungen nun in einem Tab angezeigt und jede einzelne Einstellung verfügt über eine eigene URL, so dass sie direkt angesteuert werden kann. Zudem wurden die Einstellungen mit der Suche verknüpft, so dass sie in den Suchergebnissen auftauchen.

Darüber hinaus enthält die Chrome 10 Beta eine erste Implementierung einer GPU-beschleunigten Videowiedergabe. Das soll die CPU-Last bei der Wiedergabe von HTML5-Videos um bis zu 80 Prozent reduzieren, vor allem in der Vollbilddarstellung.

Passwörter kann Chrome in der neuen Version über mehrere Computer synchronisieren. Dabei können die Daten optional mit einem eigenen Passwort verschlüsselt werden.

Flash-Player in der Sandbox

Der in Chrome eingebettete Flash Player von Adobe wurde in Chromes Sandbox-Modell übernommen. Nutzer von Windows Vista und Windows 7 sollen dadurch von einer erhöhten Sicherheit profitieren.

Zudem unterstützt Chrome 10 Webapplikationen, die im Hintergrund laufen.

Sicherheitslücken geschlossen

Mit der neuen Version schließt Google zugleich einige Sicherheitslücken in seinem Browser, die in einem Blogeintrag knapp zusammengefasst sind. Nähere Details zu den geschlossenen Sicherheitslücken will Google erst veröffentlichen, wenn die Mehrheit der Chromenutzer die aktuelle Version benutzt. An die Entdecker der Sicherheitslücken schüttet Google rund 16.000 US-Dollar aus.

The last two updates you got weren't that exciting, so we wanted to give you some more stuff to play with today. There are many improvements in the speed dial, but the first thing you might notice is that thumbnails are now generated differently.

Instead of always generating a thumbnail of the whole page, Opera intelligently tries to find a representative part of the site to display. To do that, it searches through all the images on the page and scores them based on size, position and file name. For example, an image called 'logo.png' in the top left corner will be a good candidate. Opera will make a thumbnail of the surroundings of that image, making it clearer which site is in the thumbnail.

Alternatively, it's possible to specify exactly what your page's thumbnail should look like. If your page knows how to handle the 'minimized' view mode, Opera will use that in the speed dial. If you don't need a dynamically changing thumbnail, you can specify an image to use for your page by linking it in the page's <head> like this (the image should be at least 114x114 pixels):

Code: [Auswählen]

<link rel="image_src" type="image/jpeg" href="thumbnail.jpg">
Websites now also have the possibility to tell Opera how often they want their thumbnail updated. The Preview-refresh HTTP header can be used for this purpose. The example below will cause the thumbnail for this website to be refreshed every 10 seconds:

Code: [Auswählen]

<meta http-equiv="preview-refresh" content="10">
Apart from all that goodness Opera now makes it easier for you to install plugins if you don't have them installed on your system. And of course there are all the bug fixes in this snapshot... I could talk about this for days sherlock. Check the full changelog for all the details.
