Code: Select all

Changelog 0.1.3 (build 279):
----------------------------

+ New group 'System/Sound Card Control'. Currently only some functions to 
  control the mute state of the sound card are there, but more will come in the 
  future.

+ Added mouse functions:
    Left mouse button double-click
    Right mouse button double-click
    Toggle left mouse button
  These are mostly added to support remotes like the ATI Remote Wonder, that has 
  seperate events for double-clicks.

+ New USB-UIRT plugin.

+ New Joystick plugin. 
  (It was added in build 276, but I mention it here for completeness).

- Some bugfixes.

Code: Select all

Changelog 0.2.1 (build 356):
----------------------------

+ The Python editor now supports auto-indentation.

+ "Jump if" actions now have a more descriptive default label.

+ The updaters now include the full EventGhost source code. So users that are running the program from source will also have the newest version.

+ Added a plugin for the UIRT2. Receiving and transmitting is working, but there is currently no learn-dialog for sending ir codes. So you have to paste learned codes from the Girder3 plugin to this plugin. 

+ Added two actions to control the master volume of the soundcard:
  1. Set Master Volume: Sets the master volume to an absolut volume level
  2. Change Master Volume: Increases or decreases the master volume by a given percentage

Changelog 0.2.2 (build 368):
----------------------------

+ Rework of the keyboard emulation. Many keys should now work better, especially if you are only controlling the frontmost application.

+ You can now combine keys with the plus-sign or minus-sign in addition of the underscore. These key labels in curly brackets are also case-insensitive (which is very seldom in EG). I suggest you use the plus-syntax from now. So instead of writing for example {ALT_TAB}, you should hence write {Alt+Tab} and {Ctrl+F}.

+ Added a new menu command "Edit->Rename" with F2 as hotkey, to enable easier editing of item labels.

- some bugs fixed (and most likely introduced some new ones) :)

Changelog 0.2.3 (build 385):
---------------------------- 

+ You can now copy events in the logger and paste them into macros.

+ You can now also drag events from the logger to the configuration tree 
  and drop them into macros.

+ Through these new copy&paste and drag&drop features it now makes less 
  sense to assign an empty event to a newly created macro, so this 
  behaviour has been dropped.

+ If you double click an action in the logger, the corresponding item 
  in the tree will be selected.

+ Updated the GUI toolkit to wxPython 2.6.2.1

+ New plugin for the "Streamzap PC Remote" from www.streamzap.com

+ The add-plugin-dialog now uses HTML to show the description of the 
  plugins. This way it is possible to add links/pictures/tables/etc 
  to the description.

+ The add-plugin-dialog know remembers size, position and layout.

- The "Network Receiver Plugin" should now be compatible to NetRemote.

Changelog 0.2.4 (build 386):
---------------------------- 

- Bugfix: EG could generate masses of errors if you had something 
  XML-like-looking in the clipboard.

- Bugfix: Newly dropped or pasted events from the logger were not 
  reacting before EG was restarted.

- Bugfix: It was possible to copy the Autostart item and paste it 
  into the tree. This would create an illegal configuration.

Changelog 0.2.5 (build 437):
---------------------------- 
+ New action: "Wake on LAN" to turn on another computer connected to the 
  local network.

+ New action: "Stop if" that stops executing the current macro if a 
  python-evaluation returns True.

+ Extension of the "Serial Plugin" with a "Read" action. The result is 
  stored in the variable "result" to process it with a Python script.

+ Added a COM-Server. With it you can generate events from other 
  applications through ActiveX for example.

+ Began work on a new "About" dialog. Really unfinished, but updated 
  the links to the new URLs.

+ The installer now will look if you have EventGhost running and prompt 
  you to close it before continuing the installation.

- Bugfix: Deleting some plugins from the tree resulted in an error.

Changelog 0.2.6 (build 442):
----------------------------

- Bugfix: USB-UIRT plugin didn't work properly anymore.

- Bugfix: On some systems EventGhost didn't started, because a 
  special system information wasn't available.

- Bugfix: Joystick plugin could show an error-dialog behind the 
  main-window if you haven't attached any joystick/gamepad to 
  the system. This dialog is completely removed now.

Code: Select all

Changelog 0.3.0 (build 479):
----------------------------

* Core thread code completely rewritten. This should make EventGhost faster 
  and more reactive under heavy load conditions. It also eases the writing 
  of advanced event schemes in the future.

* New option to automatically check at startup if a newer version of 
  EventGhost is available. You can turn off this checking in the general 
  configuration dialog.

* New action: "Jump" that does an unconditional jump to another macro and 
  optionally returns from there after executing this sub-macro. A "Jump If" 
  with the parameter "True" will actually do the same, but for convenience 
  this new action was added.

* New action: "System/Set system idle timer" that lets you disable and 
  re-enable idle monitoring of the OS power-management. If disabled, the 
  system will not go automatically into standby or turn off the display 
  after the idle timeout.

* Developer MonsterMagnet contributed two new plugins to control the 
  programs:
    1. Foobar2000
    2. Media Player Classic
  Many thanks to him at this place.

* Some more fun with the "About Dialog". :)

* Added menu items under the help menu to go directly the Eventghost's 
  homepage, forum and wiki.

* Added menu item under the help menu to manually check if a newer version 
  of EventGhost is available.

* Lowered the memory footprint while EventGhost runs in the tray.

* Bugfix: Wildcards in events were not allways working correctly. If you 
  used the "Task" plugin for example, you couldn't make an event like 
  "Task.Activated.*" to trigger a macro  everytime another program is 
  switched to.

* Bugfix: If EventGhost was closed through a system shutdown, the 
  cleanup-code was not working correctly.

Version 0.3.5 had a small but severe bug. So I had to upload the 0.3.5b bugfix release:

Download EventGhost 0.3.5b (build 907)

Please update as soon a possible. (SourceForge needs some time to distribute it over the mirrors)
