Version 3.1 of Rainmeter 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 drive space, network activity and whether there is new e-mail. Functional applets can also be used to, for example, make notes or send tweets. The most important changes that have been made in version 3.1 are listed below for you.

This is a powerful extension to the concepts provided in IfActions, allowing multiple tests and actions, both “true” and “false” testing, and the ability to use logical AND and OR operators in the conditions. see Change Announcements for details and example skins.
• New IfMatchAction functionality added. Supports taking actions based on a regular expression comparison with a measure’s string value. see Change Announcements for details and examples.
• New String measure type added. Used to create and manipulate string values. see Change Announcements for details and examples.
