Breaking changes

For the devices mentioned below, nothing much should change if you're on the latest releases of either polychromatic and RazerGenie. If you're not, or are you using some other tools there might be some breakage where the tools need to be adjusted to be compatible with the new release. Please let us know if you have any questions regarding that.

• Use "backlight" brightness and effect functions for some devices like Naga Hex V2, Naga Chroma, Mamba Chroma, Mamba TE Wired, Orochi Chroma, Diamondback Chroma
• Use standard scroll brightness on Orochi Chroma
• Use standard effect API for DeathAdder Chroma, DeathAdder 3500, Abyssus V2, DeathAdder 2013, Mamba 2012, Naga Epic Chroma
• Move Naga 2012, Naga 2014, Abyssus, Imperator, Naga Hex, Naga Hex Red, Taipan, DeathAdder 3.5G, Orochi 2011, Abyssus 1800, DeathAdder 1800, Abyssus 2000, Ouroboros, Orochi 2013, Orochi Chroma and DeathAdder 2000 to none/off effect instead of having some weird led_effect and led_state API
• Some extra keyboard keys will now map to KEY_MACRO* instead of e.g. KEY_F20 which should finally fix the conflict between microphone mute and the keyboard-brightness-down key
• There's a new 'wheel' effect (somewhat similar to wave effect), used on BlackWidow V4
• Some APIs (like in this release some setDPI functions) get stricter with releases to stop hiding bad arguments by callers and actually return an error instead of hiding the issue
