Then you'll get all of the new default keyboard shortcuts set up, and you'll have a backup of your settings in case you want to go back to 2.0. Version 2.1 changes the configuration format slightly, in a manner that will no longer be compatible with version 2.0.

  • Feature Focus command can now set focus to a region instead of a window. See issue #324.

  • Bug Fix issue where windows would revert back to their old size after regaining focus. See issue #487.
  • Bug Fix issue where license would be removed after rebooting due to being unable to contact the licensing server. See issue #495.
  • Bug Fix race condition in communication bus. In specific circumstances, messages could be received out of order and cause a crash.
  • Bug Fix mistake in relative coordinates, where specifying a 100% distance would result in the coordinate being one pixel outside the corresponding rectangle.
  • Bug Fix monitor searches to treat integer numbers as monitor numbers (corresponding to the \\.\DISPLAYn names).
