AULA Toolkit v0.2.1-beta.1 (Beta)

Beta for testing AULA L99 support (#2). Nothing changes for other devices.

New Features

• Added the AULA L99 as its own device, with its 84-key layout taken from the official L99 driver. Before this it showed up as an S75 Pro, so remapped keys and per-key colours could land on the wrong keys.

Notes for L99 owners

• The screen tab is off for now. The L99's 3.5" screen works differently from the S75 Pro's, and I don't want to send it something it doesn't expect.
• The side light bar and the "lights off with the monitor" option are off until someone confirms how they behave on the L99.
• Over the 2.4 GHz receiver the L99 can't be told apart from an S75 Pro by name, so the app uses whichever one you have set up. Connect it over USB once so it's set up as an L99.

Please report what works and what doesn't in #2, with a diagnostics bundle (Settings → About).

AULA Toolkit v0.2.0 (Stable)

Release Highlights

• Music rhythm and GIFs on the keys (S75 Pro): the keys can follow whatever is playing on the PC, with the same 12 colour schemes as the official driver, or play a picture or GIF from your library. Needs the USB cable.
• Lights off with the monitor: the S75 Pro's keys and side bar turn off when the display goes to sleep and come back when it wakes up.
• New battery statistics: the old numbers could be way off (my mouse showed 179 % a day). Estimates now go by when the level actually changes and come with a range. The SC900 Pro's two batteries are tracked separately, and there's a reminder at 80 % while charging.
• Bluetooth: devices on Bluetooth now show up as connected, with the battery level Windows reports.

Release Notes

New Features

• Added music rhythm on the keys, or a keyboard effect of your choice while music or video plays (Lighting tab).
• Added animations on the keys from a picture or GIF in your library (Lighting tab).
• Added an option to turn off the keyboard lighting while the display is off (Configuration tab, on by default).
• Added a picture library to the Screen tab. Drag the preview to choose the visible part.
• Added Ctrl + Alt + Shift + A to restart AULA Toolkit when something gets stuck. Can be turned off in Settings → General.
• Added a battery care reminder at 80 % while charging, as a Windows notification and on the on-screen display.
• Added tracking for the SC900 Pro's swappable batteries (Performance tab). Each battery keeps its own stats.
• Added Bluetooth connection status and battery level for the S75 Pro and SC900 Pro.

Improvements

• Reworked the battery card: level, time per 1 % in use, daily drain, time left, full charge time, health and cycles. Figures show up with a range once there is enough data.
• On the USB cable the keyboard now shows an estimated level, then 99+.
• Long GIFs are fitted to the screen's 141 frames without changing their speed.
• Screen uploads show their progress, also on the on-screen display.
• The keyboard clock is synced every time the keyboard connects.
• "Disable official AULA software" now keeps the official apps from starting at all. Windows asks once for administrator approval, and uninstalling AULA Toolkit gives them back.
• The live keyboard view pauses while the official AULA driver is running, so its lighting doesn't end up in your profile.
• The warning about running AULA software moved to the bottom of the window.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue where the official driver's Music Rhythm was read as a knob change and overwrote the profile's effect.
• Fixed devices not reconnecting after switching between the USB cable and the receiver.
• Fixed the log filling up with errors while a device was being unplugged.

Localization

• New strings in all 10 languages.
• Added a Russian README (machine translated, corrections welcome).

Known Issues

• Music rhythm and animations on the keys need the USB cable. On the 2.4 GHz receiver the music setting uses a keyboard effect instead.
• Over Bluetooth only the connection and battery level are shown, settings can't be changed there (same as the official software).
• The AULA F75 and SC900 versions other than the Pro have not been tested on hardware yet.
