Fans in the look of your own fans, graphs as fluid as SPUR II's everywhere, and modules that
are easier to place.

New

  • Fans: the rotor a fan widget turns may now look like Noctua's first NF-A12x25 (nine broad
    blades swept forward), the first 140 mm NF-A14 (seven blades) or Libre Panel's own fan (six
    round-tipped blades with a lit ridge round a hub with a ring of light), besides the nine
    blades of Noctua's G2 it always had. Each in the theme's colour or its own (Noctua's brown
    rotor in a beige frame with brown pads). Settings → Sensors → How the fans turn chooses
    the look and the colours for all fans and for each, with a picture of every look; a theme
    may set look and paint on a fan of its own
  • Design: the module grid (View and snapping) moves and grows modules by whole cells
    (coarse, as the pictures of the modules show them), half ones (medium, the default) or each
    line of the theme's grid (fine, as before); Alt while dragging goes line by line

Fixes

  • Graphs: every graph now moves 25 pixels a second, as SPUR II's (a step of half a pixel in
    every frame at 50 fps), in every theme and as a module, unless it sets its own seconds.
    Lumen's moved 8 px a second, Studio's network graphs 2, and they stood between their steps
    or blurred between them; Lumen's now show the last 19 seconds instead of a minute
  • Design: a module from the library on a theme with a fine grid (Lumen's) was one sliver of
    it, hard to see or click. It now comes in whole cells, chosen, with its settings at once
  • Design: the "Fan with speed" block read the graphics card's fan in three parts and named it
    with a fixed text. Several parts selected together that read one sensor now have one picker
    for all of them, and the block shows the fan's own name. The ring instrument's fan shows
    its sensor in the inspector, and its title is the fan's name too
  • Windows: a setting changed just as the panel read config.toml (a service switched on or off
    right after another change) could be refused with "access denied": Windows cannot replace a
    file another reader holds open. The write now tries again a moment later

Which file? Windows: …-setup.exe, Linux: ….AppImage; see Install.
