!! For any users that encounter any problems with OpenTabletDriver's built-in updater, please manually download the update below instead. !!

Notable changes

  • .NET Runtime has been updated to use 8.0 from previously used 6.0 (#3368 by @InfinityGhost and #3390 by @jamesbt365)
  • Enhanced tablet detection which should help tablets with multiple interfaces (#3475, #3244 by @jamesbt365, #3570 by @X9VoiD)
    • These are changes that help improve support in the future for tablets.
    • Notably, "replug tablet until it works" is a workaround that can now be fixed with some tablet configuration changes
    • These changes help reduce conflicts and further improve what tablets we can support by giving us more choices over what devices we select.
  • Touch points are now visualized in the OTD Tablet Debugger (#3138 by @kloczewiak)
  • NuGet packages are now deployed when a release is tagged (#3550 by @InfinityGhost)
  • String reader now outputs special characters as character escape sequences (#3583 by @Kuuuube)
    • This is mostly to help configuration maintainers notice when vendors change strings in subtle ways

Bug fixes

  • Error dialogs/message boxes are now limited to a single box (#3490 by first time contributor @BunnyTub)
    • This means that cascading errors no longer spams dialog boxes
  • GUI no longer crashes when inputting blank or invalid values into the settings textboxes (width/height/etc) (#2248 by @AkiSakurai)
  • Pressure and eraser threshold now defaults to 1 (#3601)
    • This should avoid left click remaining stuck for new users with tablets that don't ever report 0 pressure
  • Fixed a bug in Linux timer thread code where ananicy-cpp would retrigger rules on every timer tick (up to 1000 times a second) (#3414 by @hwsmm)
  • Portable install is now possible on Linux and MacOS (#3536 by @Mrcubix)

Linux

  • Now defaults output mode to Artist Mode instead of Absolute Mode (#3525 by @gonX)
    • Absolute mode on Linux should be considered deprecated and only exists for backwards compatibility
  • Official OpenTabletDriver packages now ship with libinput smoothing disabled for Artist Mode (#3566 by @gonX)
  • Reworked .desktop file to follow Freedesktop standards (#3573 by @gonX)
  • Updated manpage (#3594 by @gonX)

Mac OS:

At long last, we now have support for pen pressure on MacOS! This has been a long requested feature that is nice to finally have in our hands.

  • Support for emitting pressure and tilt for use in artist programs (#2894 by @AkiSakurai, backported in #3544 by @gonX)
  • Native MacOS timer support (#2342 by @AkiSakurai, backported in #3549 by @Mrcubix)
    • This means that async plugins (like interpolators) should have significantly lower CPU usage
