VCool has just been upgraded to 1.8 Beta 8.
What's new in build 8?
VCool now provides a section of shared memory to allow other applications to read the current status and the temperatures. For details of the memory section download vcool_mapfile.h
The user can disable the periodic update via the "shared MEM" option for optimum performance - however status changes (cool bit) will still be reflected in the shared section.
Also you shuold now be able to select what bit VCools cool bit switch controls, the original cool bit (STPGNT) or the HALT DETECT option (seems to be sufficient on some newer boards).
Added an option to disable the idle loops activation when T50 is reached.
Registry entries to change the internal fan divisor: FID1, FID2 and FID3. The default value is 0 which means that VCool will not change the internal DIV. The other values set the divisor to 2^(FIDx-1), i.e. 1->1, 2->2, 3->4, 4->8, 5->16, etc.
Note that most boards only support divisors up to 8, i.e. 4 is the maximum value for FIDx.
Tweaked thread priorities.
Added sensor support for newer ASUS boards (changed IDs).
Minor code optimizations.
