Changes into this release:
Fan control tools:
- Fan control restart procedure (after sleep/hibernate) changed for better stability.
- Bug fixed: DPTF console hang after detection, preventing future DPTF communication.
Light control tools:
- Minor fixes and improvements into SDK
AlienFX-GUI:
- New: Application now monitor notebook lid state, using it as screen visibility indicator. This can correctly turn off/on lights if lid closed, but set as "Do nothing" into Windows Power Plan (and no other monitors connected).
- Overall monitoring procedures improvement.
- Detection data for Dell G5 5500 updated.
- Bug fixed: Colors not saved as default before sleep/hibernate for APIv4 (Tron/Desktop), providing black lights at system re-start.
- Bug fixed: Light colors not refreshed correctly after resume from sleep in case effects disabled into active profiles or globally.
- Bug fixed: Useless light color updates at Colors tab switch/zone selection.
Known issues:
- In case DPTF detection hang (you will see "ESIF N" sensor names instead of BIOS ones), check
esif_hf.exenot running into Task Manager, kill this process if running and restart tool. Be careful, it's also running as a service, do not stop it!
