Changelog

This is a major update with new features and many fixes.

Common

  • [DRV-74] * Fixed Driver error - Code 39 when "Windows Device Guard > Core Isolation > Memory Integrity" was turned on.
    We assume this also solves Driver error - Code 37, but can't verify this as we still couldn't reproduce it.
  • [APP-106] + Added Core Isolation > Memory Integrity to feedback diagnostic infos.
  • [APP-22] + New settings storage schema in .ini files. Instead of a binary array, all device and driver settings are now stored with their full names. New features can now be added much easier. Existing settings are migrated, but there might be cases where this isn't possible and a dialog is shown.

Keyboard: Driver and application

  • [APP-66] + Added support for Brightness keys F1 + F2. Works on Windows 8 + 10, internal displays only an the display driver must support this feature. In other words: It does not work on Windows 7 or external monitors.

    No additional action required, no more warning popups. Smooth scrolling should always work even after Bluetooth pairing.
     
  • [Drv-72] + Added customizable maximum scrolling offset. Some applications don't like large scrolling steps and the scrollbar starts bouncing. If you are affected, in "Settings > Advanced settings" set ScrollHoriLimit and ScrollVertiLimit to 2047 or lower.
