📣 CORE FEATURES AND IMPROVEMENTS

- New Configuration Wizard for new installs and upgrades
- MacOS builds are now signed and notarized, and Windows builds are signed
- Native builds for MacOS M1 processors (arm64)
- "Getting Started" Documentation Updated and Revised
- Scheduler/Trigger Management: Now you can schedule button presses based on variable values or time of day. Automate anything with Companion!
- Custom variables: Create your own variables independent of modules/connections. You can then pass these into actions or triggers.
- Re-added Ember+ server
- Additional draw functions in Image
- Option to remove the top bar on all buttons
- Context menu added to tray icon for quick access to core functions, like rescanning for USB devices
- Instances are now called Connections
- Support for X-Keys surfaces/devices (disabled by default on upgrades)
- Ability to clear the png image used on a button
- Modules no longer loaded at launch to reduce startup time
- Streamdecks can be positioned inside the 8x4 grid, not always the top left corner
- Streamdecks can now be named in the UI for easier identification
- Serve the webui over https. Note: This does not mean it should be exposed to the internet, and is intended to allow - for embedding in iframes within other applications
- USB rescan can now be triggered over the remote API protocols
- New Satellite API implementation. Simpler to implement on clients, and won't have breaking changes in future releases.
- TCP/HTTP/OSC/UDP APIs are now all opt-in (automatically enabled for existing installations), and can be run on custom ports
- Path of Companion config directory can now be specified with the COMPANION_CONFIG_BASEDIR environment variable
BREAKING CHANGES
- The Elgato plugin (to allow you to use both Companion and the Elgato Stream Deck software at the same time) is now opt-in within Companion and disabled by default, in order to avoid conflicts between both sets of software. It must be enabled in Companion before it can be used.
