# Changelog

{% updates format="full" %}
{% update date="2026-01-31" tags="current,recently-shipped" %}

## <mark style="color:$success;">**V.7.0**</mark>

* New Node: “Get Process Owner”
* Merged the “Exe Executor (for files that need admin rights)” node into the “Exe Executor” node and improved how it gets executed and its functionality
* Completely reworked the "List Process Files" node to now actually return the files a process is using. Previously returned some random .dll files due to a bug
* Fixed a memory leak in the “List Window Information of a Process” node
* Improved icon extraction logic to significantly improve performance, fix GDI resource leaks, and correctly handle alpha transparency
* Improved performance for the "Sort Processes", "Filter Processes", "Is ProcessID Valid", "Is Process Running", "Get Process Information" & "Get Process Information by ProcessID" nodes
* Fixed a bug for the "Sort Processes" node
* Fixed some input variable tool tips not showing up
* Improved variable naming in code
* Fixed multiple spelling mistakes
* Updated plugin links
* Updated copyright notice
* Other code cleanups
* Other small improvements and optimizations

**What is version V.7.0b?**\
Version V.7.0b is for UE4.26-UE4.27 and features slight changes so the plugin compiles in these versions
{% endupdate %}

{% update date="2024-11-18" %}

## <mark style="color:$success;">**V.6.4**</mark>

* Better enum naming conventions (Useful for C++ users)
* Fixed an issue with the terminate process node. It launched a console window if the termination wasn't successful. Added a new method to that node. You can still use the console method and its options by setting the “UseConsoleMethod” input bool to true
* Fixed wrong Fast Search Tags
* Fixed a crash when the async node didn't find a process

**What is version V.6.4b?**\
Version V.6.4b is version V.6.4 for Unreal Engine 4 which features slight changes so the plugin compiles in these versions

{% update date="2024-07-24" %}

## <mark style="color:$success;">**V.6.3**</mark>

* Renamed “Get .exe File Icon from ProcessID” to “Get Icon from ProcessID”
* Fixed an issue which caused the “Exe Executor (for Files that Need Admin Rights)” node to be in a wrong category
* Divided the “Get Process Informations” node into 2 separate nodes. One is getting the information from the Name (String input) and one from the ProcessID (int input)
* Divided the “Process Terminator” node into 2 separate nodes. One is terminating by the Name (String input) and one by the ProcessID (int input)
* Cleaned up some code
