What's New is an index, not a publisher: every entry below links to the vendor's own release notes, which are the authoritative source. Entries are labelled where they are hand-curated sample data, pre-releases, or drawn from a secondary source such as a developer blog.

Reuse: the summaries, labels and curation here are © What's New. Quote freely with attribution and a link back; wholesale republication of the corpus is not permitted — terms: https://whatsnew.fyi/terms. The vendors' own release notes remain their publishers'.

- **changed** — Windows binaries now use the WinRing0 driver instead of PawnIO

This is otherwise functionally identical to OpenRGB Release Candidate 1.0rc2 except it uses the WinRing0 driver instead of PawnIO.  Only Windows binaries are provided as there is no functional change for non-Windows OSes.
