Changelog for vdu_controls-2.1.1-lp155.8.1.noarch.rpm :

* Sun Oct 13 2024 Michael Hamilton - Version 2.1.1
* Removed --dbus-signals-enabled. DBus signals are now always enabled when --dbus-client is enabled.
* Fix the active Preset icon display which was sometimes incorrect after DPMS-sleep or errors.
* Fix a code regression when handling non-DDC-capable VDUs (fix status=-3020 exception).
* The About-Window now includes counts of set_vcp/NVRAM-writes for each VDU.
* Hovering over a VDU-name in the main-window reveals the write count for that VDU.
* Minor changes to reduce unnecessary work and improve log messages.
* Sat Sep 28 2024 Michael Hamilton - Version 2.1.0
* Preset transitions have been deprecated. All presets are now restored instantly no matter how they have been set to transition. The Preset-Dialog controls for assigning transitions have been hidden. All transition related code may be removed in a future version, please contact me or comment on issue #93 if you prefer transitions to be retained.
* Transitions and related controls can be re-enabled by disabling `protect-nvram` in the Settings-Dialog.
* To avoid unnecessary updates, preset restoration now queries the VDU\'s existing values. This may slow down preset restoration.
* Lux-metered auto adjustment has been defaulted to 10 minute intervals (up from 5).
* Color-Preset (VCP code 0x14) has been added to the list of standard controls.
* Added a VDU Initializer-Preset feature to provide a replacement for dead NVRAM. This also provides a way to restore settings not persisted in VDU NVRAM. A VDU\'s initializer-preset is automatically run if the target VDU is present at startup or is subsequently detected. Any preset that has a name that matches a VDU model and serial-number will be treated as an Initializer-Preset.
* The Preset-Dialog now includes a tool-button to the right of the preset-name entry that will create a VDU specific Initializer-Preset.
* Thu Aug 22 2024 Michael Hamilton - Version 2.0.4
* The About-Dialog now refreshes the ddcutil version info on each invocation.
* Increased dbus timeout to 10 seconds (in case numerous VDUs or errors slow down VDU detection).
* Dynamically enable a scroll-area when the main-panel exceeds the available screen height.
* Mon May 06 2024 Michael Hamilton - Version 2.0.3
* Reduce the number of writes to VDU NVRAM by sliders, spinners, and ambient brightness adjustments.
* Slider and spin-box controls now only update the VDU when adjustments become slow or stop (when the control value remains constant for 0.5 seconds).
* Spin-Boxes now select the entire text on focus in (enables easier overtyping and decreases VDU updates).
* Ambient lighting initiated changes in brightness of up to 20% are applied without any transitional steps (plus the existing code ignores updates of less than 10%).
* Set the default ambient-light brightness adjustment-interval to 5 minutes.
* React to DPMS awake signal from ddcutil-service by re-assessing ambient brightness.
* Simplified locking and conformed to a locking hierarchy/protocol to avoid potential deadlocks.
* Fri Mar 29 2024 Michael Hamilton - Version 2.0.2
* Added a
*refresh
* annotation suffix for use with VCP-codes which cause multiple changes.
* Make manual adjustment of the ambient Light Level more accurate and responsive.
* Updates are sent to the VDU as sliders are dragged (rather than only on release).
* Fix exception on monitors that return invalid/unexpected combo-box VCP values.
* Fix exception on monitors with blank VCP value descriptions.
* When refresh is pressed, only auto adjust ambient brightness if auto-brightness is enabled.
* Don\'t automatically refresh on error, eliminate popup dialog loops.
* Eliminate deadlocks when exceptions occur.
* Cleanup the initialisation of the ddcutil-service connection.
* Add more caveats and limitations to the documentation.
* Fix manual ambient light slider when light meter is uninitialized.

* Apply context-aware defaults to the LuxDialog device file-chooser.
* Improve/fix the handling of displays/laptop-displays that may be detected but lack proper DDC.
* Force the file-picker to always show devices and FIFOs - it wasn\'t showing then on some desktops.
* Sun Nov 12 2023 Michael Hamilton - Version 2.0.0
* Added an optional D-Bus interface to ddcutil for up 10x faster response times.
