5.0.0 ("Tools integration" release)

[T-Troll]

• aliefx-ambient and alienfx-haptics now a part of aliefx-gui, but you still can build it from the source code. GUI size is grown a bit, but overall package become lighter.
• Low-level SDK - Bug fixed - SetPower can hang in some situations.
• alienfx-gui - Massive UI changes to add and integrate new functionality:
  • "Software effects" dropdown added to select global effect mode. Its value is global, and can be one of:
    • "Monitoring" - The same as before.
    • "Ambient" - Switch effects to ambient light mode.
    • "Haptics" - Switch effects to sound haptics mode.
    • "Off" - Disable all software effects.
  • "Ambient" and "Haptics" tabs added (the same content as apps before).
  • No more floating window for "Fans" tab - it's integrated inside.
  • "Save" button now provide confirmation balloon if save was successful.
  • "Settings" reworked (see below).
• alienfx-gui - global Dimming and Monitoring settings removed, and now can be controlled by current profile.
• alienfx-gui - If no light devices found, it's still possible to run the app - f.e. for fan control or enable ACPI light control.
• A lot of bugs fixed into haptics and ambient subsystems.

Known issues:

• Software effects are global now, and can't be controlled by profile settings. Work in progress.
• Only one software effect mode can work at one time - it's not possible to mix lights between modes. Work in progress.
• At "Profiles", "Disable monitoring" stop all software effects. I forgot to rename it.
• Die to the massive changes, some graphical glitches or small bugs i miss can still present. Feel free to report!
