Fan-SDK_V1.zip have binaries built against older fan control version, use it only in case you know what you're doing (or have Aurora R7), check readme file inside archive first to configure out how to make it works!

Changes into this release:

General items:

• Both GUI doc and readme re-organized to reflect latest changes. Please refresh you knowledge.
• Fan SDK V1 version now can be selected from solution settings for separate build.

All light-control tools:

• SDK imroved (better perfomance, initialization process altered).
• Inactive devices now ignored on device scan.
• Bug fixed: For hang APIv6 (monitor) devices, SDK not hangs now at init, but can hang if you try to use device. I can't do anything with this firmware issue. Reset/reboot you monitor or disconnect USB cable in case light contol tools hang at start.

AlienFX-GUI, AlienFX-Mon:

• No more ghost icons remain in tray after UAC request accepted by user.

AlienFX-GUI:

  • This will not happened if current profile initiated by active app, and "Do not switch for desktop" active
  • More presize application start/quit handling
  • Bug fixed: Incorrect profile power mode selected in some cases
• "Flat morph" (grid effect for zone without gauge) reworked:
  • Effect length corrected to always fit "Width/Lengh" parameter
  • Now multiply colors and "Circle" and "Keep background" flags handled correctly
  • In some option combination, you may need to all final color (the same as "Background" one) to loop effect.
• Bug fixed: Random exception at zone lights update in case zone participate with active effect.
