Beamer 1.5.18 is a small patch with one Windows fix from a user report: a PC with no mouse plugged in now shows a pointer while you control it. Your pairings and settings carry over.

Downloads

• macOS 13 or later, Apple silicon and Intel: Beamer-1.5.18.dmg, a universal app signed with a Developer ID certificate and notarised by Apple.
• Windows 10 and 11, 64-bit: Beamer-Setup-1.5.18.exe, signed with a Certum code-signing certificate. Windows may still say "Windows protected your PC" the first time. If it does, choose More info, then Run anyway.
• Windows, no installer: Beamer-Portable-1.5.18-windows-x64.zip. Extract the folder and run Beamer without an installer or administrator rights, as described in the 1.5.10 release notes.
• Linux, 64-bit x86 and arm64: Beamer-1.5.18-x86_64.flatpak or Beamer-1.5.18-aarch64.flatpak, or run flatpak update if you installed from the Kalkman Code Flatpak repository.

Installing and setting up is the same as in the 1.5.3 release notes.

Fixed

• Windows: when another machine controls a Windows PC that has no mouse plugged in, you can now see the pointer. Windows draws no pointer when it finds no mouse, even though Beamer still moves it and clicks still land, so Beamer now draws its own arrow on that PC while you control it. It disappears when you move back, and it never shows when a mouse is plugged in. Thanks to @Alexaandre for the report and the logs. (#55)

Only the Windows PC being controlled needs 1.5.18 for this. The other machines can stay on 1.5.17, but updating them too does no harm.

Everything from 1.5.17 is still included.
