8.5.0 (Light SDK rework, bugfixes)

[T-Troll]

Important! If you are using tools for the first time, please read Beginner's guide and AlienFX-GUI readme to configure out its concept and operation principle.

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 working!

Changes into this release:

All light-control tools:

• Light SDK reworked to faster light control
• APIv9 (new monitors) SDK experiments (but still may not work)
• APIv8 (external keyboards) Device effects back, now safe way.
• Bug fixed: APIv6 (Monitors) SDK was broken into the process of adding v9. Now working correctly.

All fan-control tools:

• Before DSK can only handle 32 sensors into group, but latest Libre can have about 126. So, some sensor from it was not controlled and visible into UI. Now SDK can handle any count of sensors (but still limited to 256 active in group).
• SDK now can handle if other app (f.e. AWCC) alter fan boost and will reset it back to correct.
• Bug fixed: Boost was not restored after Max. boost check

AlienFX-GUI:

• m16 added to light autodetection. Keyboard only for this time, you need to set up tron lights manually. Don't forget to share it after!
• Bug fixed: Connected device not refreshed after it, and its brightness does not set correctly.
• Bug fixed: Some devices can have zero brightness after sleep.

Known issues:

• For some devices, fan stuck at low RPMs after some random time - BIOS just don't reflect boost changes (but accept it). Under investigation, you can try to switch power mode (CTRL+SHIFT+1 then CTRL+SHIFT+0) to unlock it back.

In development:

• Light IDs and settings import from AWCC profile (if exist) - great for initial setup.
