@Crozzers Crozzers released this 21 Jan 22:43
v0.7.2
a5f6b2a

A chunkier update than previously anticipated. Honestly thought this would have been ready 2 weeks ago.
Hopefully there aren't any major bugs in this release (like #5)

Added/Changed:

  • Monitors using the windows.VCP method can now have their actual serial numbers retrieved (instead of the Windows UID)
  • If the --verbose flag is used with --list in the CLI it will list all known information about the monitors, not just the names
  • If the --verbose flag is used with --get in the CLI it will show each monitors serial and which method they use with the brightness value
  • Added a top-level list_monitors_info function for more details about connected monitors
  • Added support for retrieving EDID strings in Windows. These are used internally as the primary form of differentiating monitors (instead of serials)
  • Added a top-level Monitor class, which does the same thing as the old windows.Monitor and linux.Monitor
  • Added a top-level filter_monitors function, which filters a list of displays by the parameters you supply (see the docs for more info on how this happens)
  • Sped up the module by caching information for short periods of time (short so that the info doesn't expire). The cache can be disabled if this causes issues

Removed/Deprecated:

  • Deprecated the 'model_name' attribute in Windows Monitor objects (the 'model' attribute should be used instead)
  • Deprecated the 'model_name' key in monitor's information on Windows (the 'model' key should be used instead)
  • Removed the Windows and Linux specific Monitor classes. They just use the top-level generic one
  • Deprecated windows.VCP.filter_displays in favour of the top-level filter_displays function
  • Removed windows.WMI._get_display_index

Fixes:

  • Fixed the CLI returning the monitor names incorrectly if one monitor got turned off
  • DDC requests on Windows will try up to 10 times (with 0.02 seconds in between each attempt) to reduce errors from spamming this interface

That should be about it for now. The next update will be focused on optimizations (and probably patches)

v0.7.1

  • Patched issue #6

v0.7.2

  • Fixed issues #7 and #8
  • Made lower-level windows functions more consistant with their output types
