April 20th
----------

  New or improved features include:

	-Cursor-move on icon shows free RAM 
	-Fixed a bug that occured on some 256mb systems (reported by Hawkman)
	-Optimized the code a little bit (thanks to Dale Robbins)
	-Made the main-form a little bit smaller
	-Changed info-screen text a little bit (Thanks Jef Bardsley)
	-Made form act like standard windows application, not stay on top anymore
	-A small Faq/Help is included
	-Preferences menu is now centered
	-Ram value can be selected only with slidebar

April 17th 1999:
----------------
-Version is still 1.1
-Including the version 1.2 help-file into .zip,
 slightly modified though.

Working hard to give you people version 1.2.
There are going to be a lot of changes in the program code
of version 1.2. Most of them are not visible to the user, some
are, but they make the program run even better.

April 15th 1999:
----------------
-Finnish version available

April 14th 1999:
----------------
-Version still 1.1
-Changed the minimizing method. If you minimize program with "Minimize"-button, it
 goes to and only to system tray.
 If you minimize it normal way, it remains in the taskbar, so you can see the amount
 of free RAM all the time. Did this because so many people found it handy.
-I have been asked to add a "General System Information"-selection into Info.
 (Amount of total RAM, memory load, size of the swap file etc.)
 Well, I am not sure if there is no use for such a thing, in version 1.2, maybe
 if I find it useful in my own tests.
 Techically it is no problem, it takes about 10 minutes to program that code.
 (In fact 1 API-call is enough) 

April 13th 1999:
----------------
-Version 1.1
-Removed option 'Always on top' (nobody actually needed it)
 Program remains either always on top or in system tray

-Program minimizes to system tray instead of taskbar (many people emailed me, asking for this feature)

-Alarm level is user-defineable (maximum is quarter of total RAM, though)

-Added sounds (on public demand, some people want to HEAR when alarmlevel is reached <grin>)
 Zip-file includes 4 wav-files, but you can of course replace them with your own
 sounds, or turn off sounds in options/preferences after you get bored

-Increased input-field length by 1 to make things easier for those with more 
 than 99 megs of RAM

-Programmed memory handling faster

//   -Added option to autolaunch at Windows startup (I think this option makes many people happy..)
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
IMPORTANT : If You decide not to use RamBooster anymore, make sure that the selection to
autorun RamBooster is unchecked before you remove the program. The only proper way to make this
autorun-feature is to use registry and if you delete the program before unchecking the option,
the value is left in registry. If this has already happened you can manually remove key 'RamBooster'
in:
HKEY-CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
DON'T DO THIS UNLESS YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY SURE WHAT YOU ARE DOING!! 
Doing something wrong may corrupt your registry and you may be forced to re-install
Windows. RamBooster does not manipulate your system in any other way, since it is
stand-alone, and I think that this program-type shouldn't change anything in your system,
but in this case I could not avoid it.

-There is also self-exctracting zip-file available on the website.

8.4.1999
--------
-Version 1.0
-This is the very first version of RamBooster that is  public. Previous versions
 were in use only by me and my friends.


Thanks to all the people, who have emailed me and encouraged me to keep on
working with RamBooster. I never guessed that so many people (hundreds of them)
would find RamBooster and start to use it daily.

Suggestions and feedback is still welcome to my email, borg@sci.fi
