RingMouse v1.1.3

New: automatic updates

RingMouse can now keep itself up to date. It checks GitHub for a new signed release a few minutes after start
and every 12 hours, downloads it and installs it once the PC has been idle for a few minutes. You can turn this off or
trigger it manually under Settings → General → Updates.

• Signed and safe: every release ships a signed latest.json; RingMouse only installs an update whose signature
  matches its built-in key and whose version is newer. Taking over the download source or the GitHub account is not
  enough to push foreign code.
• Only network connection: the update check is the single connection RingMouse makes – no telemetry, no account.
  See SECURITY.md.
• uiAccess variant: updates itself only with a notification (it lives in a protected folder and is locally
  signed) – update it manually and re-run install-uiaccess.ps1.

This is the last update you have to install by hand. From v1.1.3 on, RingMouse updates itself (unless you turn
it off).

Downloads

File	What it is
RingMouse.exe	The app – a single self-contained file, no installation and no .NET needed
RingMouse-uiAccess.zip	Optional variant that may also operate windows running with admin rights (see the README)
ringmouse-probe.exe	Diagnostic tool for bug reports
SHA256SUMS.txt	SHA-256 checksums of all files

Updating: quit RingMouse (tray → Exit), replace RingMouse.exe, start it again. The exe is not code-signed, so Windows
SmartScreen may warn on the first start: More info → Run anyway. Verify your download against SHA256SUMS.txt.

Deutsch: RingMouse aktualisiert sich ab jetzt selbst – es prüft GitHub auf ein neues, signiertes Release, lädt
es und installiert es, sobald der PC eine Weile unbenutzt ist (unter Einstellungen → Allgemein → Updates abschaltbar
oder manuell auslösbar). Installiert wird nur, was mit dem eingebauten Schlüssel signiert ist und neuer ist – die
Übernahme der Download-Quelle oder des GitHub-Kontos genügt also nicht für Fremdcode. Die Update-Prüfung ist die
einzige Netzwerkverbindung. Die uiAccess-Variante meldet nur und wird manuell aktualisiert. Dies ist das letzte
Update, das du von Hand einspielen musst.

RingMouse v1.1.2

Security & stability

A security and robustness hardening release. No breaking changes; existing configurations keep working.

• Import safety: the import dialog now clearly warns when a configuration runs programs or PowerShell when a
  button or ring segment is triggered (including actions that request admin rights). Only import configurations from a
  source you trust.
• No secrets in the logs: snippet text, inline PowerShell commands and launch arguments are no longer written to
  logs\ringmouse-*.log.
• Autostart task verification: the "scheduled task with highest privileges" is read back and verified after it is
  created, and removed if it does not match – closing a local tampering window.
• Data folder is locked down on startup (only your account, SYSTEM and administrators).
• More robust: the app is hardened against malformed device responses, the mouse pointer can no longer stay hidden
  after an error, a stuck mouse button on ring close was fixed, and the device watchdog can no longer take the process
  down. DPI values are clamped to a sane range before being sent to the mouse.
• New SECURITY.md: documents the trust model
  (the configuration is executable), the uiAccess residual risk, and how to report a vulnerability.
• install-uiaccess.ps1 no longer adds its certificate to the TrustedPublisher store (the Root store is enough for the
  signature check uiAccess requires). If you use the uiAccess variant, re-run the script and confirm
  Settings → Info shows "uiAccess yes".

Deutsch: Sicherheits- und Stabilitäts-Release ohne funktionale Einschränkungen. Der Import warnt jetzt deutlich,
wenn eine Konfiguration Programme oder PowerShell ausführt; Textbausteine, PowerShell-Befehle und Startargumente landen
nicht mehr im Log; die Autostart-Aufgabe wird nach dem Anlegen überprüft; der Datenordner wird beim Start abgeriegelt.
Dazu Härtung gegen fehlerhafte Geräteantworten, Absturzschutz (der Mauszeiger bleibt nie versteckt) und eine neue
SECURITY.md. Wer die uiAccess-Variante nutzt, sollte
install-uiaccess.ps1 erneut ausführen und unter Einstellungen → Info „uiAccess ja" prüfen.

RingMouse v1.1.1

Changes

• New logo and app icon (taskbar, Explorer, settings window).
• The file description of RingMouse.exe now calls RingMouse what it is: an alternative to the Actions Ring of
  Logi Options+ – not a replacement for Options+ as a whole.
• No functional changes compared to v1.1.0.

Deutsch: Neues Logo und App-Icon; die Dateibeschreibung der Exe nennt RingMouse jetzt eine Alternative zum Actions
Ring von Logi Options+ statt eines Ersatzes für Options+. Keine funktionalen Änderungen gegenüber v1.1.0.

RingMouse v1.1.0

New

• Import from Logi Options+: takes over the Actions Ring with its folders, the button assignments and the app
  profiles of an installed Options+ – in the first-run setup or under Settings → General. A preview shows what is taken
  over and what not (e.g. actions of the Excel or Teams plugins); you choose the parts.
• Export and import of the RingMouse configuration (e.g. for another computer), including Actions Ring presets
  exported from Options+ (.lp5). A backup is created before every import.
• RingMouse.exe --import-report <file> shows what an Options+ import would produce, without changing anything.

Ersteinrichtung oder unter Einstellungen → Allgemein) sowie Export und Import der RingMouse-Konfiguration, auch von

RingMouse v1.0.0

First public release of RingMouse – the Actions Ring of Logi Options+ as a small standalone app for Windows, plus the
mouse functions that go with it: battery level in the tray, DPI, button assignments and per-app profiles for Logitech
mice. It covers only these mouse functions, not the rest of Options+. No telemetry, no network access. English and
German user interface.

Getting started

1. Copy RingMouse.exe to a permanent folder, e.g. %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\RingMouse\, and start it.
2. Quit Logi Options+ (it fights over the same buttons).
3. When your mouse is connected, press the button that should open the Actions Ring – done.

The exe is not code-signed, so Windows SmartScreen may warn on the first start: More info → Run anyway.

Tested with the MX Vertical over Bluetooth. Other Logitech mice with HID++ 2.0 (Bluetooth, Bolt, Unifying, cable) should
work – please report your results in an issue.

Deutsch: Erste öffentliche Version. RingMouse.exe an einen festen Ort kopieren (z.B.
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\RingMouse\) und starten, Logi Options+ beenden, dann die Maustaste drücken, die den Actions Ring
öffnen soll. SmartScreen warnt beim ersten Start, weil die Datei nicht signiert ist: Weitere Informationen → Trotzdem
ausführen. Details im deutschen README.
