Software update: Rainmeter 3.1 r2255 beta

A new beta release of Rainmeter version 3.1 has been released. This program can display all kinds of useful, but also less meaningful information on the desktop in real time, such as free hard disk space, network activity and whether there is new e-mail. Functional applets can also be used to, for example, make notes or send tweets. Since build 2211, the following changes and improvements have been made:

Revision 2255

• Added Measures: New String measure type, used to create and manipulate string values.
• Added Measures: New IfMatchAction options for taking actions based on a regular expression comparison with the measure’s string value. see Change Announcements for details and examples.
• Added Section Variables: New :EscapeRegExp measure section variable parameter. This will return the string value of the measure with all regular expression reserved characters escaped.
• Added Section Variables: New :EncodeURL measure section variable parameter. This will return the string value of the measure as a URL-encoded string.
• Fixed WebParser: A problem in some cases with properly handling [&MeasureName] variables on the URL option.
• Changed Calc: Due to possible impacts on system resources, UniqueRandom now has a limit of 65535, defined by the difference between LowBound and HighBound.

Revision 2218
