Please see the release notes of M117 and M119, they also apply to this release. Otherwise, the patches in Thorium 110 - 116 were all backported to the M109 releases, so y'all are already caught up on that. > https://github.com/Alex313031/thorium/releases/tag/M117.0.5938.157 & https://github.com/Alex313031/thorium/releases/tag/M119.0.6045.214

SSE3, SSE4, AVX, and AVX2 builds are provided. Unless you have a Pentium 4 or Pentium D, if your CPU lacks AVX, you should almost certainly use the SSE4 version. I found it works particularly well on Core 2 Duo systems. (Note that some of the 1st batches of Core 2 Duo, codename "Conroe", lack SSE4, so for those, use the SSE3 release).
NO 32 bit builds yet, I'm sorry. Me and Supermium are having issues with the 32 bit builds crashing on launch. If you need 32 bit support, please use the last Thorium M109 or Supermium 119 32-bit release. Me, @win32ss, and @gz83 are working on it.
- It now works on Windows 7 RTM (no SP1 needed), however, it will not run on Windows Vista without the Extended Kernel. See > #3 (comment)
Lastly, thanks to my Patreon supporters, and especially @win32ss. He is a very talented Windows developer (whereas my experience lies more in Linux/Unix). He made the Windows Vista Extended Kernel, and is the main author of Supermium. A moderately modified version of his latest patch was used as a base to start on when making Thorium-Win7.
- I also made a more heavily modified version of the patch which can be used to make a vanilla Chromium 119 release for Win7. > win7-8-8.1-support_chromium.patch
UPDATE: Upgrading from M109 to this release will break your saved passwords turning them into jumbled characters, you will have to clear them, and re-login to your sites. There is no way around this. It is due to (good) changes in how Chromium encrypts your passwords. On a positive note, after you log into your sites again, your passwords will be more strongly encrypted! Please see > #38 (comment)
UPDATE 2: I fixed the 32 bit builds! It was a stupid mistake on my part. Please see > win32ss/supermium#150 (comment) I will be building the 32-bit builds shortly.
