New

  • Protection: automatic regional dimming adapts to static content and recorded exposure.
  • Protection: regional dimming keeps the foreground app and the window under the pointer clear.
  • Arrangement: saved display setups remember and restore each display's rotation.
  • Arrangement: Save This Layout replaces an outdated saved setup directly from its notice.
  • Checkup: abandoned runs can be deleted from history.
  • Settings: About links directly to Candela on GitHub.

Changed

  • Protection: idle dimming and blackout fade in smoothly.
  • Settings: diagnostic reports include monitor capabilities and control availability.
  • Settings: diagnostic reports identify displays Candela cannot control and explain why.
  • Settings: background animations and status polling pause while the window is covered.
  • Checkup: older write-only reports explain when the DDC read defect may have affected their grade.

Fixed

  • Controls: DDC read requests use the correct checksum so compatible monitors answer brightness and capability queries.
  • Controls: saved brightness survives an interrupted care dim, including with HDR enabled.
  • Controls: brightness no longer increases unexpectedly across quit, relaunch, and updates on readable monitors.
  • Controls: dimming stays applied as display reconfiguration finishes.
  • Controls: Option plus a volume key opens Sound settings without playing the volume feedback sound.
  • Menu bar: percentage readouts and hover captions use consistent text sizing.
  • Health: measurement switches reflect saved preference changes without reopening the pane.
  • Protection: the OLED Care summary reflects paused displays.
  • Arrangement: a blocked-save explanation clears when the display operation finishes.
  • Checkup: excluded displays remain visible in the picker with a reason they cannot be selected.
  • Checkup: Escape ends the current test field without recording an answer.
  • Checkup: closing a refresh sweep stops it and reports any failure to restore the original display mode.
  • Checkup: a failed deletion shows an error and keeps the report in history for retry.
  • Setup: display detection and OLED selection scroll when the display list exceeds the window.
  • Setup: launch-time Accessibility prompts require a previously observed grant on the same Mac.
  • Updates: scheduled checks show a menu-bar reminder without taking focus.
  • Menu bar: launching multiple copies leaves one instance running.
