Latest

!! For any users that encounter any problems with OpenTabletDriver's built-in updater, please manually download the update below instead. !!

This release removes the updater from OpenTabletDriver as it has known to be inconsistent with Windows. It will instead link you to the website to download the release. Your v0.6.5.0 version will still update to v0.6.5.1.
The updater is not planned to return for 0.6.x.

You can now save and apply with the pen without making the daemon crash (#3631 and #3614)

Relative output mode will now warn you if you use a too low reset time (#3750)

Notable changes

Link to release instead of updating (#3619 by @Mrcubix)
Fix another case of Output Mode NullException when saving using the tablet (#3631 by @Mrcubix)
UX: Rewrite FileDialog directory checks (#3670 by @gonX)
- This should make diagnostics work for users who don't have classic user folders defined such as Documents.
Better logging on invalid parser (#3746 by @gonX)
- You should now receive a log error when trying to use a parser that doesn't exist instead of just a confusing null reference exception

Bug fixes

Linux

Artist Mode: Release opposite tool when changing eraser state (#3700 by @gonX)
- This fixes stuck tool states for parsers that do not properly emit Out of range reports
Remove proximity handling from linux artist mode (#3705 by @Kuuuube)
- This is a change that happened in master (#2503 by @gonX) but was never backported before now.
  This should increase hover range on Artist Mode.

MacOS

Fix swapped key code mappings for Command and Option keys on MacOS (#3666 by @AkiSakurai)
Fix support for pressure sensitivity in Adobe software on macOS (#3761 by @AkiSakurai)
Fix: Prevent proximity event on mouse up for macOS (#3764 by @AkiSakurai)
Fix memory leaks on macOS (#3788 by @AkiSakurai)
- A change in a recent macOS version changed CGEventPost to require usage of an Autorelease pool to avoid a memory leak

Miscellaneous Changes

Ensure Store is properly set when opening advanced binding editor dialog (#3623 by @Mrcubix)
- This fixes advanced binding editor so that it's pre-filled with your current binding
Fix AppInfo desync in UX (#3615 by @Mrcubix)
- UX would not be using the daemon-provided paths for plugin manager and preset manager. This fixes niche installations that have separate UX and daemon paths, but also helps with development.
Fill Empty screen with a Label when a tablet isn't detected or selected (#3763 by @Mrcubix)
Daemon: Properly output filters to log in development edge case (#3699 by @gonX)
RelativeOutputMode warn on reset spam (#3750 by @gonX)
- You will now get a logged error when relative output mode was unable to position your cursor too many times in a row
Tablet Debugger: Refactor missing digitizer specification warnings (don't warn for missing touch if report isn't touch) (#3628 by @gonX)
- 0.6.5.0 had a last-second patch (#3540) to fix tablet debugger crashes for tablets with parsed touch that had touch dimensions undefined in the configuration, this ended up spamming the logs of even non-touch tablets.
  This change fixes it so that the warning should only be emitted for touch reports.

Removed support

Unfortunately, we had to remove support for this because of our invalid parsing leading to pressure not working correctly. This configuration also matched tablets it was not supposed to, which makes it harder to support more tablets.
Support will be readded in the future when we iron out the problems.

Yank support for 10moons 1060N (#3770 by @jamesbt365)

Add config json linting to 0.6.x (#3613 by @Kuuuube)

v0.6.5.0

ccb32a5

OpenTabletDriver v0.6.5.0

!! For any users that encounter any problems with OpenTabletDriver's built-in updater, please manually download the update below instead. !!

Notable changes

.NET Runtime has been updated to use 8.0 from previously used 6.0 (#3368 by @InfinityGhost and #3390 by @jamesbt365)
Enhanced tablet detection which should help tablets with multiple interfaces (#3475, #3244 by @jamesbt365, #3570 by @X9VoiD)
- These are changes that help improve support in the future for tablets.
- Notably, "replug tablet until it works" is a workaround that can now be fixed with some tablet configuration changes
- These changes help reduce conflicts and further improve what tablets we can support by giving us more choices over what devices we select.
Touch points are now visualized in the OTD Tablet Debugger (#3138 by @kloczewiak)
NuGet packages are now deployed when a release is tagged (#3550 by @InfinityGhost)
String reader now outputs special characters as character escape sequences (#3583 by @Kuuuube)
- This is mostly to help configuration maintainers notice when vendors change strings in subtle ways

Bug fixes

Error dialogs/message boxes are now limited to a single box (#3490 by first time contributor @BunnyTub)
- This means that cascading errors no longer spams dialog boxes
GUI no longer crashes when inputting blank or invalid values into the settings textboxes (width/height/etc) (#2248 by @AkiSakurai)
Pressure and eraser threshold now defaults to 1 (#3601)
- This should avoid left click remaining stuck for new users with tablets that don't ever report 0 pressure
Fixed a bug in Linux timer thread code where ananicy-cpp would retrigger rules on every timer tick (up to 1000 times a second) (#3414 by @hwsmm)
Portable install is now possible on Linux and MacOS (#3536 by @Mrcubix)

Linux

Now defaults output mode to Artist Mode instead of Absolute Mode (#3525 by @gonX)
- Absolute mode on Linux should be considered deprecated and only exists for backwards compatibility
Official OpenTabletDriver packages now ship with libinput smoothing disabled for Artist Mode (#3566 by @gonX)
Reworked .desktop file to follow Freedesktop standards (#3573 by @gonX)
Updated manpage (#3594 by @gonX)

Mac OS:

At long last, we now have support for pen pressure on MacOS! This has been a long requested feature that is nice to finally have in our hands.

Support for emitting pressure and tilt for use in artist programs (#2894 by @AkiSakurai, backported in #3544 by @gonX)
Native MacOS timer support (#2342 by @AkiSakurai, backported in #3549 by @Mrcubix)
- This means that async plugins (like interpolators) should have significantly lower CPU usage
