What's new

  • The page of the tray window is now suspended while the window is hidden in the tray (scripts, timers and rendering stop, and resume when you reopen the window; unsaved edits are kept). This is meant to reduce GPU and CPU use while the app sits in the tray. It has not been measured on Windows yet, so feedback with Task Manager numbers is welcome.
  • README: added an "Acknowledgements and prior work" section crediting VU-Server, whose source I studied to learn the VU1 hub protocol. VU Studio is a new implementation, not a fork.

Known limits

  • Early alpha. The hub and dials are verified on real hardware (4 dials). Everything else (Unraid, Steam Deck, Home Assistant, MQTT, UPnP routers, audio/media sensors in the tray) is still tested only with fakes.
  • The installer is not code-signed, so Windows SmartScreen will warn: choose "More info" then "Run anyway".
  • Close VU-Server before starting VU Studio: only one program can use the hub's COM port.
