Release Notes - SDK 1.10.11
Maintenance release containing assorted bug fixes and minor improvements.
Note: The macOS download link was updated on 2022-01-22 to include a fix for macOS Monterrey: the update disables access to keyboards and mice via the InputDeviceManager (base.devices
) by default to prevent a permission warning being displayed to the user. To re-enable this access, set iokit-scan-keyboard-devices
and iokit-scan-mouse-devices
to true
in Config.prc.
