Hello Dygmates!
We have the new Bazecor version 1.3.10! 🎉 It has numerous improvements that make it more user-friendly and easy to use.
We also have new firmware version 1.2.6 (beta), but this firmware update only applies to wireless Dygma Defy keyboards.
IMPORTANT: In case your layers do not get restored after updating the firmware, you can easily restore a backup from the preferences menu.
What's changed from 1.3.9:
- We've improved the color editor. We removed the option to add or remove colors from the color palette. Now, the 16 color options are fixed and visible upon opening Bazecor.
- We've made many improvements to the Macros feature. The Macro recording now works with all languages that are configured in Bazecor. We removed the mouse movements in the Macro editor as they were not working properly yet. We also fixed the macros memory error that occurred when no memory was available.
- Superkeys are more super than ever! We made some changes to the capabilities of the Superkey editor. Now modifiers such as CTRL, SHIFT, ALT, etc, are now available for the Superkey TAP action.
- For the Wireless feature, we've refined the Battery indicators and texts to make them easier to understand.
- We made improvements to the Layout Editor. The tooltip description for the Battery Level key has been updated. The Media key icons are now consistent in both Standard and Single View.
- We fixed an annoying bug that occurred when switching from the Color Selection view to the Key Layout view when the Neuron was selected.
- We've added the Polish layout language on Bazecor. Now you can select among 17 keyboard layout languages.
- Thanks to our awesome Dygmate @jreklund, we now have a new Keyboard Language tool for Bazecor. For the Devs who want to create new languages, it's now easier than ever to do so! 👏🏻
- We've also made several refactors and updates that you can find below in the Changelog.
What's new with the Defy firmware 1.2.6 (beta):
Update to Bazecor 1.3.10 to get all the new features✨
IMPORTANT: The fix in this version only applies to wireless Defy keyboards. If you have a wired Defy, you do not need to update to this firmware. Make sure to toggle the Show Beta firmware in the Advanced settings to see version 1.2.6 (beta).
- We fixed a bug where the battery reading was inaccurate and would freeze on Bazecor.
- Battery levels are now reported in numbers: 100, 85, 70, 60, 50, 40, 30, 20, 15, 10, 8, 6, 4, 2, 1.
- We fixed the Bluetooth connection of the right half of the keyboard and made it more reliable so it will pair instantly with the left half.
