Changelog:
* Improved: Lua (the language) finder now handles version and release numbers
* Improved: Specfile
* Improved: RyosMKFX better gamma correction
* Added: RyosMKFX notification settings
* Fixed: RyosMKFX false modified profiles leading to unnecessary writes
* Fixed: Sova & Skeltr add new profile lost settings
* Fixed: Sova open application opened driver instead
* Fixed: Double audio notification on profile change when configuration GUI is running

This update fixes 2 issues with Sova (rkp import and macro storage).
It also changes the way desktop profile changes are handled. It now switches back to desktop profile when no window has focus.

I added 010 Editor templates for Roccat profile data fileformats which I hope completes the release of my reversing helpers.

Firmware updates should work now with all devices on all kernels except Suora.

Since around 14th december I do not get any mails via my Sourceforge account. If someone wanted to reach me by mail he might send again to
screamingfist(at)arcor.de
until this issue is solved.

Finally the Skeltr is supported.

Added support for Sova keyboards.

Added profile switching support for Suora and improved Lua scripting language support.
Suora users: Please delete /var/lib/roccat/suora/* before updating.

Suora support added and some bugfixes. No profile autoswitch for Suora at the moment as my present framework design doesn't support this well though.

New addition is a IDA processor plugin for the Holtek HT68FB5x0 MCU which is sported in diverse gaming peripherals. It's not complete in determining indirect addressing targets but it's a good starting point for your own reversing.
Some improvements in the IDA CortexM3 module have also been made.

Support for Amazons limited Kova2016 Black edition, fixes and improvements.

Needed bugfixes.

Lots of stability fixes for RyosMK/TKL/MKFX devices.
Shortcut keys can now also be selected in a dropdown list for events not on any of your other keys. Also this might help in modifier-only-shortcuts.
RyosMKFX config app supports script emulation in the GUI.

Along some bugfixes, this release has major changes for Ryos devices.
Please delete your existing profile data in /var/lib/roccat/ryos* before running the new version.

These devices now support per-profile script effects and the layer settings of MK and TKL are respected.
The scripting api provides support for event-based and permanent effects, have a look at the example sources.

This is a new major version cause it breaks the stored data of some devices. Just delete the affected folder in /var/lib/roccat.
Biggest news are RyosMKFX support and a reworked Lua scripting API. Check out the Plasma example to see what both are capable of. For effects like Ripple a Lua interpreter is now mandatory, but one script can fit all supported devices. API description here
This release needs libgaminggear-0.12.0

Bugfixes and Kiro support.

The big news among smaller fixes is support for Kova 2016 and the professionals of you get SROM update functionality for most Kones, Savu and Tyon Devices.

Added code to aid in reassembling a firmware disassembly. Some information is written down here.

Bugfix release.

I added a Python script to measure input lag of USB-devices using a Raspberry Pi 2 B.
More info can be found at http://roccat.sourceforge.net/technical.html#technical_input_lag

The biggest changes aside from bugfixes:

All devices now support resorting of profiles via drag'n'drop of notebook tabs. The gui buttons have changed a bit thereby.

Driver state correction is now available for all supporting devices and is configurable in the eventhandler with unmodifying default. The correction is probable cause of sleep/resume issues.

Nyth now supports variable profile numbers.

Nyth now supports rmp im-/export, presumably the most stupid file format ever. I'm doing this as good as I could, just don't use timers.

Biggest addition is near-complete support for Nyth. Missing atm: rmp im-/export, button set editor, firmware updater and variable profile number.
Also brings firmware updater for RyosTKL but removes it for Tyon.

Software shortcuts are now kept alive as long the button is pressed and small fixes.

Among smaller things:
The uinput event handling for software execution devices changed (Arvo, Kone, Kova[+] and Pyra). Events are not fed into the devices evdevs where apropriate, but into a single uinput devices. Positive effects are not to be expected, but it's a test run which leads to future uhid support that might solve raw input issues.
Also KoneXTD and KonePure range devices got support for custom colors.

Main addition is i18n support with German translation.
Also the Ryos range configuration GUI's support keyboard layouts (to be set in edit/preferences).
The Ryos ripple scripting engine now supports Lua 5.2, the meaning of the WITH_LUA configuration options has changed from a boolean to the exact version you want to link against.
New supported device: KonePureBlack which seems to be a a rare KonePureMilitary variant sold in bulk packaging. Not even I have seen one.
Bugfixes.
