Desktop Info v1.11.0 Released

December 2018 There are two important architectural changes in this release: I’ve moved the data collection code into a thread to allow the gui to be more responsive.

Desktop Info

There’s been a regular stream of inquiries over the years about Desktop Info to warrant looking into resurrecting it. The last official release was v1.51 in April 2014.
