24-01-2023

Changes:
- Attempted to make the launcher less blinding.
- VRC Chatbox bar will now trigger notification sound in VRChat when a message is sent.

- Fixed an issue where keyboard keys could flicker when hovering over them.

16-01-2023

Added:
- Added the ability to type into the VRChat Chatbox directly from the OVR Toolkit keyboard. Click the 'VRC' button across the bottom! (This button is replaced by the 'Paste to game' button in other titles)
- Added 'Continuous voice recognition' option to Global Settings > Keyboard for continuous voice transcribing to VRChat. (Only supports Speech Proxy at this time)

Changes:
- Added red-tinted background to voice input panel when it is recording.
- Wristwatch should be less likely to drift out of position when changing controllers/turning controllers off and back on.

Bug fixes:
- Fixed an issue where OVR Toolkit would fail to launch after changing install location. (Or, fail to launch when running Steam version after previously running it from PiMax Store)
- Fixed an issue where touchscreen input could become stuck down.

05-01-2023

Added:
- Added bHaptics battery monitoring.
- Added a setting to automatically play media when in a VRChat loading screen.

Changes:
- Move window delay is now off by default for new users.
- Adjusted priorities for picking up overlays, Edit Mode UI and Wristwatch UI are now the lowest priority items and should be less likely to be picked up by accident when actively pointing at a different overlay.

Bug fixes:
- Fixed an issue where window movement could fail if trying to move a window with your hand too close to the Edit Mode UI.
- Fixed an issue where the only undock point for an overlay attached to the HMD was the world detach point. All docking points should now appear.
- Fixed an issue where moving the Edit Mode UI to another hand would prevent one of the hand cursors from working until the application was restarted.


Just a quick side-note but these VRChat specific features have no performance impact at all when they're turned off, and they're off by default. No need to worry about that if you don't play VRChat but more than 90% of our userbase does!

11-12-2022

Changes:
- Index Grip binding will no longer toggle windows, please use A buttons like stated in the tutorial!

Bug fixes:
- Corrected an issue where OVR Toolkit could become frozen for several minutes on launch if a backend service was performing poorly. (This is what forced this update out on a Saturday night)
- Wednesday should now appear on the wristwatch current day. (Box was 2 pixels too small!)


If you'd like to revert to the old bindings, please see the following post. It also includes an explanation for this change:

Sorry for the inconvenience!

Note: If you started using OVR Toolkit in late 2020 or later this change should not affect you as the tutorial has said to use A buttons for a very long time now! Unfortunately Index Grip was still bound to support legacy users but it was interfering with new users who would accidentally trigger it in games by grabbing controllers too hard. This was creating quite a lot of complaints over the past few years.
