All console (CLI) tools:

  • Code optimization. Now each tool is about 2 times smaller! (yes, iostrem is pure evil!)

All fan-related tools:

  • low-level driver optimization (still fight with random BSOD/init faults at Windows 11).

LightFX.dll (Dell API emulator):

  • Device type now returned to API call if detected for low-level device
  • Bug fixed: exception then get device and light information

AlienFX-cli:

  • "status" command re-worked, now low-level and high-level output is the same by structure and form.
  • Bug fixed: groupID doesn't work for set-zone and set-zone-action as a parameter for low-level mode.

AlienFX-GUI:

  • Shutdown/restart now do not save profile colors as power on - default, it only happened if application closed or "Save" button pressed.
  • Error code added into error message in case app can't initialize fan control subsystem.
  • Bug fixed: Incorrect colors (not default for profile) at system shutdown/restart.

Known issues:

  • APIv5 (RGB keyboard) device can set incorrect color for some lights under heavy load. Seems like SDK bug, now under heavy investigation.
  • For Windows 11, it's recommended to set kdl.dll, HwAcc.sys and drv64.dll into antivirus exception list. This can help to avoid random BSODs.
