6.0.1 (New light control concept)

[T-Troll]

Light control system rebuilt for the new control concept.

AlienFX-GUI:

• Reworked completely - about 70% of the code is new. UI is changed as well.
• New lights control concept - please read new Beginner's guide and AlienFX-GUI readme to configure out it and set up.
• Configuration data is altered! Application ask about old data conversion (if found) at start, but in case you select "remove old data" there will be no way back!
• Tray icon now have tool tip showing active profile and effect mode.
• Switching to "Fan and Power" tab if fan control disabled shows message about its detection.
• "Profile auto-switch" only enabled after application minimized (to prevent accidental profile switch in some situation).
• Bug fixed: Monitoring value for power incorrect for some systems.
• Bug fixed: RPM always zero at Monitoring tab.

AlienFX-CLI:

• New concept - now low-level operations always require device ID (use status command to check it). Please refer to readme for details!

All fan-control apps:

• New: Basic support for Dell G-Mode added (no UI yet, but keyboard shortcut F17 (Fn+G-Key) added to UI, and togglegmode command added into CLI).
• Different error messages for the situation app can't load driver or supported hardware not detected.
• Bug fixed: Some supported gear doesn't detect.
• Bug fixed: Configuration not saved at system shutdown/restart/logoff.

All GUI apps:

• No more horizontal scroll bar, but tool tips with full name for fields with long names.

AlienFX-Mon:

Known issues:

• Do not mix lights from different grids into one gauge zone.
• If 2nd copy of application started (or both AlienFan-GUI and AlienFX-GUI), its configuration will be out of sync (especially after keyboard shortcut used). You can't break anything, but configuration changes can be lost or not applied.
