About a month ago our server was "hijacked" allowing spammers to utilize it as a spamming relay due to some security issues with several PHP-based email forms.

For the past few weeks I have been working on closing all the holes in those scripts to prevent any future issues.
Hopefully, everything should be working just fine now.

Unfortunately, due to this situation, two major things have happened:

• Some support emails have been lost as the mail server had to be restarted constantly as I was working on patching and testing the faulty scripts
• Because of the same reason, requests to have your DHTML Menu Builder registration information sent via email stopped working for almost three full weeks.

On the positive side, the server now supports SSL allowing you to connect securely to server to ensure that all messages you send via the support email forms are private and secure!.

I apologize for all the inconveniences this situation may have caused...

Version 2.06.028 of DHTML Menu Builder engine solves a known issue that affected projects utilizing Advanced Unfolding Effects.

Make sure you re-compile all your projects once you have updated your copy of DHTML Menu Builder to ensure they work correctly under Internet Explorer 10.

Version 2.06.027 of DHTML Menu Builder engine solves several known issues with Windows 8, making DHTML Menu Builder fully functional and compatible with the latest and "greatest" version of Windows.

DXVUMeterNET depends, basically, on just two components:

• Microsoft .NET 4.0
• SlimDX

This new installer properly detects missing dependencies and provides the appropriate download option to update the host system to meet the requirements, solving a number of issues present in older versions of the installer.

So, if you have ever had problems installing DXVUMeterNET, please, try this new version of the installer.

Also, as of this writing, I can confirm that DXVUMeterNET works perfectly under Microsoft's latest and "greatest" version of Windows.

The most important change in version 4.0 is that it no longer requires nor depends on the Microsoft DirectX SDK and, instead, uses the, highly superior, SlimDX framework.
This not only means that you no longer need to download a +20MB SDK, but it also prevents the dreaded LoaderLock issue, making projects that utilize DXVUMeterNET more stable while working inside the Visual Studio IDE.

Also, this version includes some important and considerable enhancements to both its internal audio buffer provider as well as the FFT library, resulting in the most stable, accurate and powerful version of DXVUMeterNET ever released. Of course, not to mention the huge improvements in performance.

Although almost every single algorithm has been enhanced in this version (for both performance as well as accuracy and stability purposes), the Fast Fourier engine is the one that has received the most attention, resulting in a huge improvement over every other version of the control.

As always, make sure you first use the DXVUMeterNET Tester application (included with the default setup for the control) for an overview of all the new features and to have a peak of the spectacular performance and accuracy provided by this version.
