Release 5.0.0

Version 5

What's new

( Everything )

The SDK is for people who want to create addons and is not needed by regular users.

Pre-Release 5.0.0-6

• Bug fixes
• Improved addon version checking

Full Changelog

Pre-Release 5.0.0-5

• Added support for user-created addons. (API & Guide coming soon)
  These are loaded from C:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\Local\radj307\Addons
  Currently there is no way to change this; if you want me to add this feature submit an issue report with [REQUEST] in the title.
• Fixed some bugs, probably caused a few more.
  If you experience a bug on a pre-release version, please report it on the issues tab!
• Added a range of new bindable hotkey actions
  • Mute & Unmute Session
    These are in addition to the already existing Toggle Session Mute
  • Deselect Session
  • Increase & Decrease Device Volume
  • Mute, Unmute, & Toggle Device Mute
  • Deselect Device
  • Select Default Device
• Added a self-updating feature
  • This works reliably in a testing environment, but if you experience any issues be sure to report it on the issues tab!
  • This is an optional feature and is never mandatory.

Notes

All 5.0.0-pr* versions do not have a working settings upgrade feature - this is intentional, do not attempt to migrate previous user.config files to this version - they are not compatible!
This behaviour will be changed for the 5.0.0 release.

Full Changelog

Pre-Release 5.0.0-4

• Added a session notification window.
  • Has an integrated volume slider & textbox that applies to the current target session.
  • Doesn't steal focus or interrupt borderless fullscreen windows.
    • This is based on limited testing, if you find an application that it does interfere with, report that on the issues tab.
• Fixed the tray notification not causing the window to show up correctly.
• When the program loads a previously selected session it now attempts to resolve the process ID if it is invalid.
  • This allows it to update the target session's PID correctly when restarting, etc.
• Added autocomplete behaviour to the target name entry box.
  • You can use the enter key to commit a suggestion.

Version 5

UI as of v5.0.0-pr1:

• Completely rewritten using WPF instead of WinForms.
• Migrated to using NAudio
• Massively improved stability
• Massively upgraded hotkey system (To use this, see the Advanced Hotkeys checkbox in the settings tab.)
  • You can now create new hotkeys and bind them to actions yourself
  • You can delete hotkeys, including pre-existing ones.
• Added support for audio devices
  • Includes hotkey actions for cycling between devices & locking / unlocking the selected device.
  • The default mode is to check all audio devices for active sessions.
  • Only audio sessions running on the selected device are shown
• Added volume sliders
  • That means we're finally nearing the point where Volume Control can completely replace the volume mixer.

Known Issues / Unimplemented Features

• Notifications haven't been implemented yet.
• The reset settings to default button doesn't do anything yet.

Revision 4.0.4-1

Very small revision that changes all settings to be in user-scope so they can be modified in %LocalAppData%/VolumeControl/.../user.config

Release 4.0.4

• Added a volume indicator notification when using the volume up/down keys.
• Slightly reorganized the UI to fit additional settings related to the volume indicator.
• Fixed a large number of bugs.
  • Fixed the bug where the target selector notification wouldn't always show on top of other windows.

Full Changelog
