  • OS X Lion support!!
  • Huge preferences window overhaul - now looks like a standard OS X preferences panel.
  • Graphical icons in the menu bar are no longer the default - they are now text.See the FAQ for info on how to change back to graphical icons.
  • Added a preference for "smart" menu bar icons - e.g. use the first letter of thecurrent GPU ('n' for NVIDIA, 'i' for Intel, 'a' for AMD). Doesn't apply to legacydual-NVIDIA GPU machines.
  • Added Czech, Russian, Ukranian, and Slovak localizations.
  • Removed power source info from menu, as it was unnecessary.
  • Moved to standard OS X app about box.
  • Fixed some memory leaks.
  • Enormous refactoring of the codebase.
Known Issues (Working on it!)
  • Power source-based switching doesn't work if the machine is sleepingwhen the power source is changed.
  • Occasionally, when on Integrated Only, after all discrete-triggering appshave been quit, the machine will switch to Discrete Only.
