I'm happy to announce that I've released DisplayCAL 3.4 as a prelude to the upcoming year 2018.

Notable changes:

• Critical fix: Prevent bad clipping in case of non-monotonic device response
• Linux: Fix consistency of device to profile mapping accross external APIs
  (this fix is required to match how ArgyllCMS 2.0 enumerates displays)
• HDR improvements
• Added simplified chinese translation thanks to 林泽帆(Xpesir)... read more

This is a maintenance/bugfix release.

Full changelog: https://displaycal.net/#changelog-3.3.5

Fixed in this release:

• Linux (profile installation and profile loading): Getting the fallback
  XrandR display device ID could unexpectedly return no result in some
  cases due to incorrect parsing, leading to potential application of a
  stale device to profile mapping or no profile at all (regression of
  SVN revision r4800).
• Linux, Mac OS X: The visual whitepoint editor was failing to update
  the test pattern area of a connected madTPG instance when madVR was
  selected as display device, due to an implementation bug related to
  setting the background color.

This is a bugfix release:

Fixed unhandled exception if using CIECAM02 gamut mapping when creating XYZ LUT profiles from regular spaced grid patch sets with the alternate forward profiling method introduced in DisplayCAL 3.3.

I’m happy to announce that I’ve just released DisplayCAL 3.3.

Highlights:

• Better multi CPU/multi core support and overall speed enhancement due to smaller default patch sets using an alternate forward profiling method.
• Calibration whitepoint targets other than “As measured” will now also be used as 3D LUT whitepoint target, allowing the use of the visual whitepoint editor to set a custom whitepoint target for 3D LUTs.
• The visual whitepoint editor is now compatible with Chromecast, Web @ localhost, madVR, Prisma and Resolve pattern generators.
• Automatic output levels detection, and manual output levels selection as an advanced option.
• New experimental profiling patch sequence advanced options.
• Profile loader (Windows): Windows 10 Creators Update compatibility.... read more

Full changelog: https://displaycal.net/#changelog-3.2.1

I'm happy to announce that DisplayCAL 3.2 has been released. This is a major update.

Highlights:

• Visual whitepoint editor. This allows visually adjusting the whitepoint on display devices that lack hardware controls as well as match several displays to one another (or a reference).
• Menu overhaul. Menus are now better organized using categorized sub-menus and some menu items have been moved to more appropriate locations.
• Better curves + matrix profiles as well as faster computation of XYZ LUT + matrix profiles
• Profile loader (Windows): Replaced “Open Windows color management settings...” pop-up menu item with own “Profile associations...” implementation. This should work better with multi-display configurations than what Windows has to offer.... read more

The code-signed DisplayCAL-0install-Setup executables released on October 21, 2016 and available until October 24, 2016 15:25 (CEST) had a problem with mismatching feed URLs (due to the unintended use of HTTPS) and thus breaking the install. If you downloaded one of these affected setup executables, please uninstall and re-download.

File sizes and MD5 checksums of the new, fixed setup executables:

File name	File size	MD5
DisplayCAL-0install-Setup.exe	1.551.304 Bytes	08B2F73EB35390B4A1778441719F8194
DisplayCAL-0install-Setup-per-user.exe	974.024 Bytes	DB650541D28F0AEFCDEB37673B5C2B8B

This release fixes a regression in the profile loader when oyranos-monitor is present on the system as well as the install-standalone-tools-icons 0install command that was broken since the 3.1 release.

Like 3.1.7.1, this is a Windows-only maintenance release that fixes the
possibility of the profile loader loosing user-defined exceptions under
some circumstances, as well as re-introduces toggling "load calibration
on login" from within the profile installation dialog actually affecting
the profile loader.

Furthermore, the application executables are now digitally signed.

See the full changelog at https://displaycal.net/#changelog-3.1.7.2 for
details.

This update fixes a problem with the "reset video card gamma table" functionality of the profile loader in a multi-display configuration under Windows.

This release features much easier Argyll CMS instrument driver installation under Windows - no need to (temporarily) disable driver signature enforcement for Windows 8/8.1/10 anymore. Furthermore, the Windows profile loader now offers a way to define exceptions. Also included in this release are minor changes as well as fixes.
