Latest updates
- Fixed DDC communication and added adaptive monitor power control. Displays now use reversible hardware standby only when supported, otherwise falling back to a tracked software disconnect that can be safely restored after extended off periods or app restarts.
- Improves migration from legacy hardware-Off states by providing an accurate one-time HDMI reconnect instruction and avoiding unsafe 1x1 display activation or unsupported periodic power commands.
- Fixed display reconnection and mode recovery issues by ensuring physical EDID is restored when waking or reconnecting displays. Improved DDC response validation to prevent command misinterpretation and refined display configuration checks for more reliable screen restoration.
- Fixed an issue where stale display coprocessor sessions could prevent reliable screen wake and recovery after display reconnection by refreshing or recreating the active DDC session handle before initiating recovery.
- Fixed an issue where displays without reversible DDC power controls could lose valid display modes or fall into a 1x1 resolution placeholder across soft disconnect and wake, by temporarily preserving and exposing the saved EDID during link reactivation before restoring physical display properties.
