v0.9.5

A maintenance release fixing a few small things.

Changes

• 🇫🇷 Updated translation for French (@foXaCe, #542)
• Add translation links in the About dialog and Help menu.
• Add deprecation message for polychromatic-cli as it is likely to be removed in a future release. See here for more details.

Fixes

• Fix our configuration window not being used in OpenRazer >=3.10 due to version parsing error.
• Hide problematic "Off" effect for 🖱️ Razer Basilisk V3 for users with OpenRazer 3.7.0 (or earlier).
  • Setting "Off" would cause the firmware to become buggy.
  • This was fixed in OpenRazer 3.8.0 over a year ago.
  • Ubuntu 24.04, Debian 12 and Linux Mint users may have installed OpenRazer from their official repositories, which is usually a few versions behind. This ensures users on older versions with this mouse don't encounter the bug.

Fixes

• Fix playback loop skipping over the first frame while in the editor (#541)
• Improve DPI presentation for very high DPI devices (#535)

v0.8.8

This maintenance release backports fixes for the older Qt 5 version.

Note

This is the last release based on Qt 5. From this point onwards, only Qt 6 will be supported. Users that cannot use v0.9.4 because PyQt6 isn't available, may need to upgrade their distro or wait for a newer distro series which provides PyQt6.

Older versions of Polychromatic (Qt 5) will continue to work.

Fixes

• Improve DPI presentation for very high DPI devices (#535)
• Troubleshooter: Improve detection when Python library fails to load.
• Drop sassc build dependency

From the v0.9.4 changes, the playback loop bug in the editor (#541) did not affect this version.
