[h2]Introducing the Settings Dashboard[/h2]
A common source of feedback we've received is that modifying the settings exposed by the Windows Mixed Reality for SteamVR plugin is painful, involving modifying vrsettings files that might get overwritten by later releases. With this release we're introducing a new visual experience for changing settings that impact our plugin.

To try it out, launch SteamVR while using your Windows Mixed Reality headset and pull up the SteamVR dashboard either by clicking the thumbstick on your controller or by clicking the Steam icon in the Windows Mixed Reality mini-menu.

From there, you'll notice the familiar Windows Mixed Reality logo in the SteamVR dashboard. Click it with your controller to pull up the settings experience where you can now modify settings. No more clunky text files!



Note: as of this release, you should no longer modify any default.vrsettings files to change settings as that file will be overwritten every time Windows Mixed Reality for SteamVR is updated. Our documentation has been updated to reflect this.

[h2]Ready for the HP Reverb G2![/h2]
This release adds compatibility with HP's upcoming Reverb G2 headset and its updated motion controllers to ensure you have a great experience running SteamVR content on day 1 of your experience with the new headset.

Please try the latest version out and let us know what you think!
