• VirusTotal: scan report (1 of 67: DeepInstinct, a machine-learning engine, with no
  named threat; it has flagged the mod's DLL before), and Windows Defender finds nothing.

If you have 0.1.6 or later, the launcher offers this update by itself (or use "Check now" on the Checks and log
tab). Otherwise unzip over the old folder or anywhere new, and run EternalVR.Launcher.exe. Your launcher
settings carry over.

What's new

• A prompt that comes up right after a cutscene or a load ("[A] TO DISMISS") could get stuck: VR took it
  for a menu screen, so A clicked instead of sending the Space it was waiting for. In a level, a prompt you
  didn't open yourself is now treated as a popup, so A and X send that Space. This matches what a player's
  log showed, but I couldn't get one of these prompts to come up on my test PC, so I haven't seen the fix
  work in the game yet.
• In a popup your jump button now sends Space too, wherever jump is: a button you moved it to in the
  controls editor, or the left trackpad click on Vive wands (which had no button that sent Space in popups
  before).
• If a prompt still won't close: bring the game's window to the front on your desktop (click its title bar
  or its taskbar button, or Alt+Tab to it), press Space on the keyboard, then click Export report...
  after the session. The log now says which window was in front when the prompt came up.
• Thumb-rest wheel: when your thumb leaves the rest for its own stick or buttons while you were already pushing
  the other stick, that push goes back to the game as a turn if it began up to 0.05 s before the thumb left.
  That window was a frame short before (about 0.033 s at 90 Hz); it is now the full 0.05 s at any frame rate.
• Thumb-rest wheel: a quick tap of the move stick while the mod waits to see if your thumb is really on the
  rest now moves you for one frame once that's decided. Before, only the turn stick got its tap back and the
  move tap was dropped.
• Thumb-rest wheel: a push that lands exactly on the 0.05 s or 0.1 s limit now always counts as inside it.
  Before, rounding decided it at frame rates where a limit falls exactly on a frame (60 Hz and 80 Hz, for
  example).
• The roadmap now shows what has
  shipped, and in which version.

Known issues

• The prompt fix and the thumb-rest changes were checked with automated tests on my test PC, not yet in a
  headset. With the thumb-rest wheel off (the default), the thumb-rest changes do nothing.
• Parallel Eye Rendering is still highly experimental and off by default. The full list is under "Parallel Eye
  Rendering" in KNOWN-ISSUES.
