v0.3.0

This version of the server uses the new GUI as the main GUI!

Please report all bugs in Discord for now in the channel #diy or #technical-support! Proper bug reporting and development pipeline will be established later. Please send all new GUI problems to #gui channel!

It is recommended that you use an installer to install or update SlimeVR. For this version you need the latest installer version since it installs Java 17! You can find it here:

• Windows web installer: https://github.com/SlimeVR/SlimeVR-Installer/releases/latest/download/slimevr_web_installer.exe
• To run, open SlimeVR folder and launch slimevr-ui.exe, or use shortcut from start menu or desktop

Changelog since v0.2.1:

• Uses new GUI by default and added minor improvements to GUI (@loucass003)
• Added new feature: Leg Tweaks. A system by @Stermere that utilizes accelerometer to improve skating detection and floor-snapping. Requires at least v0.3.0 firmware, and v0.2.0 driver. You can find it in Settings > FK Settings > Leg tweaks, enabled by default (@Stermere)
• Improvements to filtering (interpolation/extrapolation) (@Louka3000)
• Moved to Java 17 for future features like linux support (@ImUrX)
• Improved AutoBone (@ButterscotchV)
• Minor fixes (@Louka3000, @unlogisch04)

v0.2.1

This version actually supports new GUI properly! This build introduces new configuration changes, but they should be able to be migrated from your old config.

v0.2.0

A lot of huge changes! v0.2.0 was supposed to be the version with GUI, but instead it will be this :D Though technically, this version includes support for the new GUI, current isntaller doesn't install or run it, and it's not final, so it's not used here. Either way, there are a lot of changes, including many that break configuration, so we're bumping it to 0.2! Hooray~

Still early release, but pretty close to it.
