Other releases

Release Notes: The Windows version no longer uses immense amounts of CPU due to a drastic timer optimization. A configuration dialog for the Enttec plugin has been added, allowing users to select the protocol for each device. A bug has been fixed in the virtual console button widget which allowed pressing them from external input devices, causing the application to crash. The reconnect buttons in the plugin managers have been removed because they never quite worked and sometimes caused crashes.
