Beta Version 0.99 - 2nd May, 2008
- Fix: Incorrect recognition of 45nm Mobile Intel CPUs.
- Fix: CPU temperature not displayed in Core Temp window on Phenom CPUs (0.98 and 0.98.1).
- Add: Shared memory - developers now have access to Core Temp data.
- Add: Register dump to text file function.
- Add: Preliminary Atom (Silverthorne) support - Untested.
This version represents a big change in the background as now 3rd parties can access Core Temp's readings directly using their programs. Of course Core Temp must be running for this to work.
There is already a little sidebar gadget for Vista thrown together quickly to demonstrate how the shared memory works. (Looks best on a quad core or 2x dual core rig)
You can find a link to it in this post:

If you already know how to access shared memory you can use the info in this post to access Core Temp's shared memory:

If you don't then no worries, I've already got a .Net wrapper DLL finalized and I'm working on finishing a C++ DLL as well.
The Register dump feature is mostly identical to the one GCPUID had (if anyone still remembers it). It is similar to CPU-z's register dump but is simplified.
A register dump is important, as it allows the user quickly send processor's information for debugging purposes or to help add support to yet unsupported processors.
Atom Silverthorne detection was added with information based on Intel's latest public data sheet and spec update for Silverthorne (Diamondville should work as well, but will probably be identified incorrectly as a Silverthorne part).
I haven't had the chance to actually test it on one of those, so if anyone has access to an Atom a register dump and a screenshot would be great help.
