Improved feature support

Pen tilt

Mouse button

Driver

Fix issues with relative mode still causing jumps (#3004 by @X9VoiD)

This hopefully fixes all reasons why cursor "jumps" (as if it's in absolute mode) in relative mode.

Fix some apps not behaving properly to cursor events in MacOS (#3051 by @chutneyio)

Some draggable elements are affected by this and is now actually draggable when using OpenTabletDriver.

Fix forward and backward mouse button bindings in Linux (#2306 by @gonX)

Improve driver detection logging (#2948 by @X9VoiD)

If a tablet driver is detected to be interfering with OpenTabletDriver, the user will now be notified of this issue.

Write logs to filesystem in real-time (#3100 by @X9VoiD)

Everything logged by OpenTabletDriver is now saved to <OTD_APPDATA>/Logs. OTD also doesn't consume infinite amounts of memory anymore just to keep logs in memory by making use of the log files.

Include device attributes to diagnostics (#3109 by @X9VoiD)

Diagnostics now include USB interface number, HID usage and report ID. This new information will be used in a future OpenTabletDriver release for even more reliable support to tablets!

User Experience

Window title no longer says 'No tablet detected' incorrectly (#3038 by @gonX)

Packaging

Remove dist macro in RPM release (#3115 by @hwsmm)

Our RPM releases support more than just Fedora. It works on most RPM-based distros like OpenSUSE,

Fix package install/uninstall getting stuck forever in some Linux machines (#3001 by @X9VoiD)

Tablet Support

These changes below were backported via #2776.

Added support

Improved support

Other

  • Fix rotation reports causing broken pressure, tilt, and pen buttons (#2737 by @Kuuuube)

Driver

Fix logging sending LogLevel.Error on non-fatal exceptions (#2820 by @X9VoiD)

This fixes issues related to osu! lazer's OTD implementation not working on some scenarios where standalone OTD does.

Fix try-catch not catching all JsonException (#2826 by @X9VoiD)

OpenTabletDriver will not crash anymore when loading invalid settings.

Handle binding before output (#2905 by @X9VoiD)

User Experience

Only allow a single instance of UX (#2828 by @X9VoiD)

Attempting to open another UX will bring up the existing one.

Remove Configuration Editor (#2883 by @X9VoiD)

This has been a pain point for a while now and adds significant code but almost nobody uses it and when they do it's just problems galore.

Not the fault of config editor, just that the only users of this feature are those that don't know how to actually make a tablet configuration. Those that do know just copies other configs as base and edits it as text. Doing it this way is actually faster and more convenient.

Use elevated daemon to update on some installations (#2877 by @X9VoiD)

Some users are, for some reason, putting OTD into a folder where the user itself has no write access to it. This change allows the daemon to request for elevated permissions to perform an update when needed. Applies to next update.

Actually prevent multiple invocations to Updater's Install button (#2825 by @X9VoiD)

Packaging

Source package for DEB/RPM (#2889 by @X9VoiD)

The packaging scripts were heavily improved and can now build source packages (tho not enabled by default).

Fix Release CI and Linux package issues (#2906 by @X9VoiD)

Fix parsing of linux-specific packaging options (#2821 by @X9VoiD)

Add generic packaging script and build support for musl (#2876 by @X9VoiD)

This new update includes many changes that should resolve issues that just recently occurred for users of Wacom tablets and also makes installing updates more reliable.

Though it should be noted that the update reliability fixes does not apply to 0.6.1.1 so the process updating from 0.6.1.1 to 0.6.2.0 might not be without trouble.

!! For any users that encounter any problems updating to 0.6.2.0, manually download the update below. !!

Driver

Fix device and touch report consuming timer polls (#2802 by @X9VoiD)

Users that experiences lower report rate when using an asynchronous filter (ex. hawku/devocub filters, any filter that has Frequency setting) should prioritize installing this update to recover full report rate.

Fix pipeline race condition (#2803 by @X9VoiD)

Weird issues where pen tip is stuck for example is fixed by this change.

Add fallback support when update install fails (#2804 by @X9VoiD)

Should fix most issues concerning updates failing to install, mostly on Windows machines.

Make daemon more resilient and less crash-y (#2808 and #2810 by @X9VoiD)

Fixes most crashes on startup resulting to "Fatal Error" messages showing up on UI. Daemon is hardened against errors occurring from loading invalid settings and plugins.

Packaging

Make rpm package compatible with openSUSE (#2813 by @X9VoiD)

openSUSE/SUSE users should now be able to run the following commands to install OpenTabletDriver without any error:

sudo zypper install OpenTabletDriver.rpm

assuming current working directory is set to where the rpm file is.

New tablets supported!

Improved support to these tablets

Added new identifiers for the following

Verified working since last release

These are tablets that have gone from Untested to Supported status:

Parser fixes

Driver

Fix jumps occuring during problematic post-OOR reports (#2752 by @X9VoiD)

This fixes issues with cursor jumps on some tablets using relative mode regardless of Reset Time.

Rework updater code (#2747 and #2763 by @X9VoiD)

Makes sure that the updates will go smoothly and will transition properly to OpenTabletDriver 0.7.x.

Set process priority to high by default and fix timers on Windows 11 (#2746 by @X9VoiD)

Prevents issues where asynchronous filters (they have a setting called Frequency) lags when system is under heavy load (like playing osu! with frame limiter set to "unlimited") or minimizing OTD in Windows 11

Fix windows key mappings (#2680 and #2739 by @proxer05)

Resolve race condition bugs of Driver.InputDevices (#2476 by @X9VoiD)

No more bad stuff happening when multiple device changes happen in a short period of time.

Fix pointer bindings not being sent with the pointer (#2683 by @Kuuuube and #2764 by @X9VoiD)

Bindings are now guaranteed to be invoked with updated pointer data. In other words, sometimes the bindings are sent to OS without updating the position first, leading to bindings being one report early or the position being one report late depending on how you look at it. These changes fixes that. Also fixes issues with dragging in MacOS.

Improve sleep detection routine (#2748 by @X9VoiD)

Less false positives.

UX

Fix Ignore input outside area setting not working as expected (#2761 by @Kuuuube)

Fix some aspect ratio lock issues (#2762 by @X9VoiD)

Prevent log spams from occuring during catastrophic events (#2660 by @X9VoiD)

Message boxes Windows XP style!

Switch AreaDisplay to standard Drawable (#2659 by @InfinityGhost)

Fixes high GPU usage when looking at area editors.

Request permissions on MacOS when needed (#2771 and #2783 by @AkiSakurai)

When OTD determines that it lacks the permissions to read device data and/or send input to OS, it will prompt user to allow OTD to do such actions.

Add script to enable portable mode (#2793 by @X9VoiD)

Just double-click this little thingy called convert_to_portable.bat
image

Improve QoL around launching of OTD binaries (#2760 by @X9VoiD)

You can't launch OTD from a zip file anymore, that has always been an incorrect way of using OTD. Also hide menu entries that isn't usable when not connected to daemon yet.

This is the 20th release of OpenTabletDriver!

We have changed a massive amount of things since v0.5.3.3, most of which has been in part of adding support for multiple concurrent tablets.

  • Rewrote daemon and UI to handle multiple tablets
  • Added built-in self updater for Windows and MacOS
  • Added settings presets and switching from UI or console
  • Made configurations more expandable for the future
