<h3>Enhancements</h3>
<ul>
<li>
Automatic & manual updates through the app, no more manual downloads 🎉
</li>
<li>Added proper support for controlling Apple displays.</li>
<li>Added option to show/hide brightness slider.</li>
<li>
Added option to show brightness slider for internal display and apple
displays (enabled by default).
</li>
<li>
Replication of built-in and Apple display brightness to corresponding
brightness slider.
</li>
<li>Added suffix to similarly named displays for better differentiation.</li>
<li>
Option to disable slider snapping for finer control + disable slider
snapping by default.
</li>
<li>Added option to show slider tick marks for better accuracy.</li>
<li>
Added option to use window focus instead of mouse to determine which display
to control.
</li>
<li>
<kbd>control</kbd> + <kbd>command</kbd> + <kbd>brightness</kbd> now controls
external displays only (<kbd>control</kbd> + <kbd>Brightness</kbd> continues
to control internal display only)
</li>
<li>Added separate tab for menu options.</li>
<li>Added option to restore last saved values upon startup.</li>
<li>
Added option for audio device name matching for display volume control
selection.
</li>
<li>Separated option to change all screens for brightness and volume.</li>
<li>Added option for keyboard fine scale for brightness.</li>
<li>Added option for keyboard fine scale for volume.</li>
<li>
Added version check upon startup for mandatory preferences reset upon
downgrade or incompatible previous version + notification about this.
</li>
<li>
Added implementation for <kbd>command</kbd> + <kbd>f1</kbd> macOS shortcut
to enable/disable mirroring.
</li>
<li>
Added safer 'Assume last saved settings are valid' option as default instead
of startup DDC read (or restore).
</li>
<li>
Streamlined preference panes, 'Show advanced settings' now affect all tabs.
This leads to a better and safer first timer experience (especially because
of the influx of many new features).
</li>
<li>
Added a Quit button to Preferences if menu is hidden (it was not passible to
quit the application until this time in this mode only by re-enabling the
menu).
</li>
<li>
Lowered default first-run volume DDC default from 75% to 15% if read is not
possible or disabled to prevent unexpectedly loud sound.
</li>
<li>
Added slider skew setting on a per control basis to have the ability to
manipulate DDC slider balance and OSD scale if display control is not
linear.
</li>
<li>
Added the ability to set min. and max. DDC bounds on a per display, per
control basis.
</li>
<li>
Audio device name override option for a display (manually assign a specific
audio device to a display).
</li>
<li>
Advanced setting to invert DDC control range (some displays have the scale
reversed).
</li>
<li>
Advanced setting to remap DDC control code (some displays have contrast and
brightness mixed up).
</li>
<li>
Ability to mark a DDC control as available or unavailable in advanced
settings under Displays.
</li>
<li>
Ability to automatically hide menu icon if there is no slider present in the
menu.
</li>
<li>Option to show slider percentage for more precision.</li>
<li>
Option to set combined or separate OSD scale when combined hardware+software
brightness is used.
</li>
<li>
Apple like smooth brightness change (both for software, hardware, mixed and
DisplayServices).
</li>
<li>
Added support for DisplayLink, AirPlay, Sidecar, screen sharing etc. using
window shades (this is an inferior technique to the existing software
implementation - gamma control - but still better than nothing). Disabled
for any kind of mirroring setups. [^1]
</li>
<li>
Brightness change synchronisation from Built-In and Apple displays to other
displays. This makes Touch Bar, Ambient light sensor, Control Center and
System Preferences induced changes affect all displays. Synchronisation uses
a sophisticated indirect delta method + the user can intervene and adjust
individual screen brightness at any time to easily compensate mismatching
native brightness levels.
</li>
<li>Preferences pane tab selector has a simpler look on Catalina.</li>
<li>
All menu sliders are now scrollable using a magic mouse/trackpad swipes or
mouse wheel.
</li>
<li>
Added option for menu to show only items that are relevant to display which
shows the menu currently.
</li>
<li>
Added option to enable combined sliders (note: this option combined with
enabled Apple/built-in display syncing and enabled 'change all' keyboard
settings finally provides full synchronised control of all displays).
</li>
<li>
Combined sliders can now display multiple displays when keyboard and
brightness syncing is not enabled. [^1]
</li>
<li>
Redesigned sliders to look like Big Sur/Monterey Control Center's sliders.
[^1]
</li>
<li>Quit and Preferences... are now icons for a much cleaner look. [^1]</li>
<li>
Added option to change additional menu options style or hide them. [^1]
</li>
<li>
Multiple displays are now in nice Big Sur styled blocks - no more ugly
separators. [^1]
</li>
<li>
Added customisable gamma/ddc switchover point for combined brightness in the
advanced section of Displays.
</li>
<li>
Added comma separated list for control code override to enable edge cases
like controlling Brightness and Contrast at the same time (use VCP list
entry `10, 12` for that)
</li>
<li>
Contrast can now be controlled from keyboard via <kbd>control</kbd> +
<kbd>option</kbd> + <kbd>command</kbd> + <kbd>brightness up/down</kbd>.
</li>
<li>Custom keyboard shortcuts for brightness, contrast, volume and mute</li>
</ul>
<h3>Other under the hood changes and bug fixes</h3>
<ul>
<li>
Standardised internal scale among various displays and DDC ranges for ranged
controls.
</li>
<li>
Uses the new internal scale for combined hardware-software brightness mode.
</li>
<li>
Migrated scales to internal float representation to prevent loss of fine
detail on transformations.
</li>
<li>
Fixed double sound when muting multiple external displays at the same time.
</li>
<li>
Fixed lack of initial volume configuration if slider is not shown in menu.
</li>
<li>
Fixed wrong settings being applied to a display when replaced on Apple
Silicon (UserDefaults preferences are now tied to specific display strings
instead of CGDirectDisplayID - which is no longer semi-unique on arm64).
</li>
<li>A lot of refactoring, streamlining and general optimisations.</li>

Added version check upon startup for mandatory preferences reset upon
downgrade or incompatible previous version + notification about this.
</li>
<li>
Added implementation for <kbd>command</kbd> + <kbd>f1</kbd> macOS
shortcut to enable/disable mirroring.
</li>
<li>
Added safer 'Assume last saved settings are valid' option as default
instead of startup DDC read (or restore).
</li>
<li>
Streamlined preference panes, 'Show advanced settings' now affect all
tabs. This leads to a better and safer first timer experience
(especially because of the influx of many new features).
</li>
<li>
Added a Quit button to Preferences if menu is hidden (it was not
passible to quit the application until this time in this mode only by
re-enabling the menu).
</li>
<li>
Lowered default first-run volume DDC default from 75% to 15% if read is
not possible or disabled to prevent unexpectedly loud sound.
</li>
<li>
Added slider skew setting on a per control basis to have the ability to
manipulate DDC slider balance and OSD scale if display control is not
linear.
</li>
<li>
Added the ability to set min. and max. DDC bounds on a per display, per
control basis.
</li>
<li>
Audio device name override option for a display (manually assign a
specific audio device to a display).
</li>
<li>
Advanced setting to invert DDC control range (some displays have the
scale reversed).
</li>
<li>
Advanced setting to remap DDC control code (some displays have contrast
and brightness mixed up).
</li>
<li>
Ability to mark a DDC control as available or unavailable in advanced
settings under Displays.
</li>
<li>
Ability to automatically hide menu icon if there is no slider present in
the menu.
</li>
<li>Option to show slider percentage for more precision.</li>
<li>
Option to set combined or separate OSD scale when combined
hardware+software brightness is used.
</li>
<li>
Apple like smooth brightness change (both for software, hardware, mixed
and DisplayServices).
</li>
<li>
Added support for DisplayLink, AirPlay, Sidecar, screen sharing etc.
using window shades (this is an inferior technique to the existing
software implementation - gamma control - but still better than
nothing). Disabled for any kind of mirroring setups. [^1]
</li>
<li>
Brightness change synchronisation from Built-In and Apple displays to
other displays. This makes Touch Bar, Ambient light sensor, Control
Center and System Preferences induced changes affect all displays.
Synchronisation uses a sophisticated indirect delta method + the user
can intervene and adjust individual screen brightness at any time to
easily compensate mismatching native brightness levels.
</li>
<li>Preferences pane tab selector has a simpler look on Catalina.</li>
<li>
All menu sliders are now scrollable using a magic mouse/trackpad swipes
or mouse wheel.
</li>
<li>
Added option for menu to show only items that are relevant to display
which shows the menu currently.
</li>
<li>
Added option to enable combined sliders (note: this option combined with
enabled Apple/built-in display syncing and enabled 'change all' keyboard
settings finally provides full synchronised control of all displays).
</li>
<li>
Combined sliders can now display multiple displays when keyboard and
brightness syncing is not enabled. [^1]
</li>
<li>
Redesigned sliders to look like Big Sur/Monterey Control Center's
sliders. [^1]
</li>
<li>
Quit and Preferences... are now icons for a much cleaner look. [^1]
</li>
<li>
Added option to change additional menu options style or hide them. [^1]
</li>
<li>
Multiple displays are now in nice Big Sur styled blocks - no more ugly
separators. [^1]
</li>
<li>
Added customisable gamma/ddc switchover point for combined brightness in
the advanced section of Displays.
</li>
<li>
Added comma separated list for control code override to enable edge
cases like controlling Brightness and Contrast at the same time (use VCP
list entry `10, 12` for that)
</li>
<li>
Contrast can now be controlled from keyboard via <kbd>control</kbd> +
<kbd>option</kbd> + <kbd>command</kbd> + <kbd>brightness up/down</kbd>.
</li>
<li>
Custom keyboard shortcuts for brightness, contrast, volume and mute
</li>
<li>Added Internet Access Policy</li>
<li>
Added advanced option to enable zero brightness with software dimming.
</li>
<li>
Added <kbd>command</kbd> + <kbd>q</kbd> shortcut in menu when it is in
standard text mode.
</li>
<li>
Rearranged Preferences to fit better on smaller screens in Advanced mode
</li>
<li>Alert when repeated interference is detected with applications.</li>
<li>
Added 'Avoid gamma table manipulation' option for peaceful coexistence
with f.lux.
</li>
</ul>
<h3>Other under the hood changes and bug fixes</h3>
<ul>
<li>
Standardised internal scale among various displays and DDC ranges for
ranged controls.
</li>
<li>
Uses the new internal scale for combined hardware-software brightness
mode.
</li>
<li>
Migrated scales to internal float representation to prevent loss of fine
detail on transformations.
</li>
<li>
Fixed double sound when muting multiple external displays at the same
time.
</li>
<li>
Fixed lack of initial volume configuration if slider is not shown in
menu.
</li>
<li>
Fixed wrong settings being applied to a display when replaced on Apple
Silicon (UserDefaults preferences are now tied to specific display
strings instead of CGDirectDisplayID - which is no longer semi-unique on
arm64).
</li>
<li>A lot of refactoring, streamlining and general optimisations.</li>
</ul>
