OpenTabletDriver Files

OpenTabletDriver v0.6.6 finally releases after over a half a year of development!

This version mostly focuses on added support for more tablets, but also has some bug fixes and quality of life changes.

Notably, plugin API and bindings have been looked at closely to fix up some small annoyances for end users.

---

Additionally, we have some sad news to bring:

During this release window, long time contributor @jamesbt365 passed away. We have memorialized his impact on the OpenTabletDriver project in the driver user interface.

James joined the OpenTabletDriver team more than 4 years ago, and has provided outstanding support for users on our Discord, helped the team keep multiple OpenTabletDriver projects updated (core, web and bot) with documentation and code.

Among his over 300 pull requests for the driver, dating all the way back to [#1503], James has helped add and improve support for scores of tablet models, and fix cross-platform compatibility of dozens tablets, finishing off with his last pull requests in [#3931] and [#3736].

With all that being said, we hope you enjoy the v0.6.6 release! Further details about this release can be seen below:

Notable changes

Adaptive Bindings by @gonX in [#4010]

This version of OpenTabletDriver introduces a new default binding: Adaptive Bindings

Adaptive Bindings automatically adapt to your output mode - no more fiddling with bindings just to use your other output mode properly.

Plugin developers making output mode plugins: Make sure your output mode implements IPenActionHandler to properly support this. IMouseButtonHandler is also supported.

Migrate Tablet Configuration properties to match avalonia by @gonX in [#4027]

This changes the tablet configuration schema to match that of our other branches. Any custom tablet configurations that worked with v0.6.5.1 should still work with this version.

This improves the user experience for users with unsupported tablets, as they now don't have to worry (quite as much) about their tablet missing features because they used a configuration targeted for another driver version.

Add options to disable pressure & tilt by @AkiSakurai in [#3564]

You can now disable these settings per-tablet. It disables reporting of these values to the OS, which implicitly disables pen tip in the Linux Artist Mode output mode.

Integrate Preset Bindings by @Mrcubix in [#3995]

Adds support for loading presets directly from bindings.

Plugin developers: This also exposes the current IDriverDaemon to the pluginmanager service collection, should you need direct Daemon access in your plugin.

Invert tilt in UCLogicTiltReportParser by @gonX in [#3701]

This hopefully fixes the inverted tilt present on many UCLogic tablets (Artisul, Gaomon, Huion). Please see the linked pull request for a full list of affected tablets.

Bug fixes

MacOS

• macOS: Track modifier status in OTD, not system by @AkiSakurai in [#4014]

  This should improve the reliability of multi-key bindings

• Ensure user configuration is loaded correctly on macos by @AkiSakurai in [#3994]

  Solves some instances of user-defined tablet configurations being unable to be loaded.

• Fix occasional sticky modifier keys issue on macOS by @AkiSakurai in [#3808]

  Solves an issue where looked up modifier state might not match actual modifier state (e.g. changed between lookup and sync/flush)

Misc Bug Fixes

• Fix an exception when unplugging a tablet then closing a binding editor by @Mrcubix in [#3837]

• Fix UX Plugin Manager desync when updating plugins by @Mrcubix in [#4022]

• Enhance handling of invalid settings by @gonX in [#3999]

  This solves oddities when attempting to load master/avalonia driver settings into the 0.6.x version of OpenTabletDriver.

• Cleanup Temp before plugin install by @Mrcubix in [#4019]

  This ensures that only the intended files are installed with plugins, in case of the temp dir going stale for some reason.

• DriverDaemon: Create settings file when none are detected by @gonX in [#4000]

  This solves the setup wizard repeatedly popping up for users with no saved configuration.

• PluginSettingStoreCollection: Check upper bounds by @gonX in [#4012]

  Solves a minor issue where saved settings could save more bindings than the tablet supported. This was noticeable only when the used tablet has had any of its button counts reduced.

• Fix Plugin manager Metadata Desynchronization by @Mrcubix in [#4007]

  Displayed plugin metadata should now be properly refreshed when a plugin is reinstalled or updated.

• Load Plugin assemblies using LoadFromStream instead of LoadFromAssemblyPath by @Mrcubix in [#4009]

  This should hopefully make plugin file management (uninstalling/updating) a bit more consistent

• Revert Huion 420 parser change by @Kuuuube in [#3758]

  This reverts the used parser for Huion 420 to the one used in v0.6.5.0.

• Handle type being null in the Advanced Binding Editor when getting controls by @Mrcubix in [#3783]

  Resolves a bug with uninstalling plugins providing bindings, and the bindings remaining unchangable.

• Only clamp width and height in Lock to usable area if rotation is 0 or 180 by @Kuuuube in [#3815]

  This solves weird tablet area mapping behavior on rotated areas in the user interface
