v2.0.0

2 years ago

The driver has been completely rewritten. This version introduces the following features:

  1. Significantly improved firmware uploading & downloading.
  2. Eliminated firmware loading loops during macOS startup.
  3. Bluetooth headphone mics should now work properly.
  4. Added support* for Gen3 devices: AX210 (0x0032; 0x0033).
  5. Deduped firmware files to reduce the overall binary size (Credit @pigworlds #300)

*: The minimum Bluetooth version for AX210 is Bluetooth 5.2, which is incompatible with the new Bluetooth framework introduced in macOS Monterey. The legacy Bluetooth framework, used in macOS Big Sur and earlier, is capable of handing basic HCI commands from newer Bluetooth versions. Please note that the legacy framework is known to have issues connecting with non-Apple Bluetooth 4.X peripherals. Read the docs for more information.
