Hi, Dygmates
Here we are with another Bazecor update.
This release includes more visual debugging, improvements in the Keyboard Manager and the option to flash custom firmware on your keyboard –no, it doesn't mean you can flash QMK or ZMK 😅
We've also fixed a bug that prevented Bazecor from auto-updating on some computers. If you downloaded Bazecor 1.4.0 or 1.4.1 and it hasn't updated automatically, please manually download it.
What's new
- We added support for flashing custom firmware directly on Bazecor. This is ideal for testing alpha releases or making your own modifications to the firmware.
- We improved the visual representation of Dual-Function keys, One-Shot Layers and One-Shot Modifiers.
- You can now access the Firmware Update screen via Bluetooth to check your firmware version. If you want to update the firmware, you will still need to connect the keyboard via USB.
- We added OS-specific representations of modifiers (like Option, Command, Ctrl, etc.)
- We fixed a bug where Bazecor would not update automatically on some computers.
- We fixed a bug in which your keyboards were not listed in the keyboard manager the first time you opened Bazecor after installing it.
- We fixed a bug where when loading a virtual keyboard, your actual keyboard would show as connected in the keyboard manager.
- We fixed a bug where your Bluetooth keyboards were disconnected when you disconnected a wired keyboard.
What's next
For the next release, we are mainly working on four things:
- Continue polishing some inconsistencies with the Keyboard Manager: it won't detect the first time you unplug a wired keyboard, and there are some corner cases when disconnecting with virtual keyboards.
- Continue polishing the UI and UX.
- Fix a bug where Bazecor can't connect to the keyboard in some Linux distros.

As always, thank you so much for your support! See you in the next release!
