8.5.1 (Brightness shortcuts and new autodetect mappings)

[T-Troll]

Important! If you are using tools for the first time, please read Beginner's guide and AlienFX-GUI readme to configure out its concept and operation principle.

Fan-SDK_V1.zip have binaries built against older fan control version, use it only in case you know what you're doing (or have Aurora R7), check readme file inside archive first to configure out how to make it working!

Changes into this release:

All GUI tools:

• New: Update check rework - it now waits for connection available at start, and check connection at manual check.

All fan control tools:

• Bug fixed: Power mode do not set correctly for SDK V1.
• Bug fixed: Override for messed power modes for SDK V1 (Desktop).

AlienFX-GUI:

• New: Keyboard shortcuts for manual brightness control:
  • Use CTRL SHIFT + to increase current mode brightness
  • Use CTRL SHIFT - to decrease current mode brightness
  • Brightness level is set separately for full and dimmed modes
  • Dimming level in setting now reversed, so your old level can be brighter or darker, than before. Please modify it into settings
• New: Dell G7 7590 autodetection (thanks to @fox8091).
• Bug fixed: Lights can stay off after resume from hibernate in some cases.
