Bugfix release.

• Added import for Roccat Swarm macro files.
• Fixed macroeditor, clipboard pasting now handles \t,\n,\r.
• Software implementation of shortcuts/macros now handles multiple events like Roccats hardware implementation.

API change. This version is only compatible with the upcoming roccat-tools release.

Fixes a build problem where uinput didn't work.

Major addition is support for uhid instead of uinput for software macros/shortcuts and such. Maybe people playing raw-input games with a Kova[+] might test this.

This release changes the way uinput events are handled. Only one device per process is created and events are issued with hid usage id's. That's not so impressive on it's own, but roccat-tools has additional changes that need this. Also this clears the path for upcoming uhid support which might help resolve problems with raw input games.
Not compatible with roccat-tools < 3.4.0

Main addition is i18n support along with german translations.

This version adds "GFX". A plug-in based light effect system that's inspired by Dell's AlienFX. At the moment it's a very naive/rudimentary implementation to be used by the next roccat-tools version.

Everyone's invited to write plugins for this but documentation is missing. Maybe you wait for roccat-tools > 3.1.0 to arrive for examples of usage or ask me for help.

To improve/extend this system I would need a volunteer with Alienware (and maybe Roccat) hardware to answer some questions regarding the Command Center under Windows.

This release is compatible with 0.5.0 and can be immediately updated.
Among some smaller fixes that mainly ease the pain with packaging for Debian and Suse this should be interresting for all package builders:
The html documentation is now built only if explicitly desired with the new WITH_DOC configuration option.

Only some small changes needed for roccat-tools-2.2.0 and a fix regarding notifications.

This release contains not much more than an improved version of the macro editor from roccat-tools project.
As more features will be moved into this library it already is a dependency for the next roccat-tools release.
