When write on startup enabled, apply only touched command values. -- Reorganised PrefKey list to be less confusing. -- Disengage custom shortcut keyboard after 100 key repeat to prevent possibly endless loop if keyUp event never arrives due to any circumstance. -- Fixed text for external display brightness control keyboard shortcut. -- Fix cumulative darkening bug upon toggling 'Disable dimming as fallback'. -- Make sure that key repeat speed for custom shortcuts do not go below a certain threshold. -- Fixes text clipping issues for various languages -- Added beta channel update backend -- Fixed layout issue at brightness custom shortcuts. -- Fixed custom key shortcuts going runaway when menu was opened during a key repeat streak. - -## MonitorControl v4.0.0-beta1 (Thu, 30 Sept 2021) - -### Enhancements - -- Automatic & manual updates through the app, no more manual downloads 🎉 -- Added proper support for controlling Apple displays. -- Added option to show/hide brightness slider. -- Added option to show brightness slider for internal display and apple displays (enabled by default). -- Replication of built-in and Apple display brightness to corresponding brightness slider. -- Added suffix to similarly named displays for better differentiation. -- Option to disable slider snapping for finer control + disable slider snapping by default. -- Added option to show slider tick marks for better accuracy. -- Added option to use window focus instead of mouse to determine which display to control. -- control + command + brightness now controls external displays only (control + Brightness continues to control internal display only) -- Added separate tab for menu options. -- Added option to restore last saved values upon startup. -- Added option for audio device name matching for display volume control selection. -- Separated option to change all screens for brightness and volume. -- Added option for keyboard fine scale for brightness. -- Added option for keyboard fine scale for volume. -- Added version check upon startup for mandatory preferences reset upon downgrade or incompatible previous version + notification about this. -- Added implementation for command + f1 macOS shortcut to enable/disable mirroring. -- Added safer 'Assume last saved settings are valid' option as default instead of startup DDC read (or restore). -- 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). -- 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). -- Lowered default first-run volume DDC default from 75% to 15% if read is not possible or disabled to prevent unexpectedly loud sound. -- 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. -- Added the ability to set min. and max. DDC bounds on a per display, per control basis. -- Audio device name override option for a display (manually assign a specific audio device to a display). -- Advanced setting to invert DDC control range (some displays have the scale reversed). -- Advanced setting to remap DDC control code (some displays have contrast and brightness mixed up). -- Ability to mark a DDC control as available or unavailable in advanced settings under Displays. -- Ability to automatically hide menu icon if there is no slider present in the menu. -- Option to show slider percentage for more precision. -- Option to set combined or separate OSD scale when combined hardware+software brightness is used. -- Apple like smooth brightness change (both for software, hardware, mixed and DisplayServices). -- 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] -- 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. -- Preferences pane tab selector has a simpler look on Catalina. -- All menu sliders are now scrollable using a magic mouse/trackpad swipes or mouse wheel. -- Added option for menu to show only items that are relevant to display which shows the menu currently. -- 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). -- Combined sliders can now display multiple displays when keyboard and brightness syncing is not enabled. [^1] -- Redesigned sliders to look like Big Sur/Monterey Control Center's sliders. [^1] -- Quit and Preferences... are now icons for a much cleaner look. [^1] -- Added option to change additional menu options style or hide them. [^1] -- Multiple displays are now in nice Big Sur styled blocks - no more ugly separators. [^1] -- Added customisable gamma/ddc switchover point for combined brightness in the advanced section of Displays. -- 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) -- Contrast can now be controlled from keyboard via control + option + command + brightness up/down. -- Custom keyboard shortcuts for brightness, contrast, volume and mute - -### Other under the hood changes and bug fixes - -- Standardised internal scale among various displays and DDC ranges for ranged controls. -- Uses the new internal scale for combined hardware-software brightness mode. -- Migrated scales to internal float representation to prevent loss of fine detail on transformations. -- Fixed double sound when muting multiple external displays at the same time. -- Fixed lack of initial volume configuration if slider is not shown in menu. -- 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). -- A lot of refactoring, streamlining and general optimisations. diff --git a/docs/appcast.xml b/docs/appcast.xml index 0127d22..c89b89d 100644 --- a/docs/appcast.xml +++ b/docs/appcast.xml @@ -9,7 +9,7 @@ v4.0.0-beta1 - https://monitorcontrol.app/Changelog.md + https://monitorcontrol.app/Changelog.html Thu, 30 Sep 2021 21:43:20 +0200 6293 @@ -25,7 +25,7 @@ v4.0.0-beta2 - https://monitorcontrol.app/Changelog.md + https://monitorcontrol.app/Changelog.html Thu, 07 Oct 2021 20:31:20 +0200 6443
