v0.10.0-beta.1

925 days have passed since the last release of Switcheroo 😅

But now Switcheroo is finally back with a few new features:

• The hotkey can be turned off #77 - big thanks to @tarikguney 🍰
• Switcheroo can run as administrator on startup #78 - more thanks to @tarikguney 🥇
• Alt can be used as Enter to switch faster #47
• And you can even turn on Auto Switch when using Alt-Tab and thus switch faster than ever before #79

Let me know if you experience problems or have issues 🙏

v0.9.2

This release most importantly fixes some annoying bugs for users of Windows 10:

Bug fixes

1. When using virtual desktops in Windows 10, Switcheroo would sometimes open on the previous virtual desktop. Many thanks to @philippotto who tracked down and fixed this issue! (#21/#50)
2. Windows Store Apps would sometimes appear twice (#21)
3. The icon cache did not properly update when an icon had changed (#51)
4. Slack notifications appeared in the window list (#49)

We're not done yet ...

The support of Windows Store Apps is still not complete (e.g. icons and real process names are missing). Also the support of the virtual desktop feature in Windows 10 could be improved.

These are some of the things that will hopefully make it into version 1 of Switcheroo.

Please open an issue if you have ideas for other features, or should stumble upon a bug.

Pull requests are much appreciated as well, and I promise ... nobody will bite you 😄

v0.9.1

A small release containing a few fixes and a brand new feature... Get it while it's hot! 🔥

New features

1. Now you can filter by process name using a fancy dot syntax. If you only want to see Chrome windows, then type e.g.: chr.. But it doesn't stop there... if you only want to see windows from the current program, then simply type .. This makes it incredible fast to switch among windows within a program! Give it a go! Thanks to @rayhofmann for proposing this feature (#35)

Bug fixes

1. Oops... Some windows disappeared in the latest release. They should be back! Please open an issue if you experience inconsistencies between windows in Switcheroo and in the native Windows alt-tab (#43)
2. Whoops... Switcheroo crashed if Windows were shutdown, but Switcheroo hadn't been activated (#46)
3. Thanks to @HellBrick for reporting and helping out with these issues!

v0.9.0

A new shiny release of Switcheroo now available. It contains a few new features as well as a number of bug fixes.

New features

• Much improved window closing: Switcheroo now stays open, so you can close several windows faster. Thanks to @HellBrick for proposing this idea and sending a pull request! 👍 (#25)
• The focused window is now at the bottom of the list. This makes it faster to switch to the next window as you just need to press Alt+Enter, Enter. No more need to press Arrow Down. This makes Alt+Enter and Alt+Tab work in the same way (#24)
• Add help information to Switcheroo. Features should be more easily discoverable. Just click the question mark in the overlay (#32)
• Add Ctrl+W as a shortcut to close a window. This shortcut fells more intuitive than Ctrl+Enter (#22)
• Allow using Tab and Shift+Tab to navigate the window list (#31)
• Small look and feel adjustments. More prettiness! (#30)

Bug fixes

• Deactivate the System Menu for Switcheroo. Because it often gets accidentally activated when using the default Alt+Tab shortcut (#29)
• Key presses in Switcheroo can be sent to other windows. Key presses are now contained within Switcheroo (#34)
• Fix Switcheroo window turning black on activate/dismiss (#30)
• More work around missing Alt+Tab windows. No windows should be forgotten (#36)
• Fix missing scrollbar if list is taller than screen (#37)
• More compatible way of closing windows (#42)
