DXGL 0.5.8

If you upgrade from DXGL 0.5.8 or earlier, the configuration format will be changed, and earlier versions of DXGL will no longer recognize the profiles. In addition, any profiles generated by older versions of DXGL going forward will not be recognized by DXGL 0.5.9 or later. If you wish to migrate any old profiles generated after installing DXGL 0.5.9 or later, you will need to use Regedit to delete the “Configuration Version” registry value from the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\DXGL registry key to force the upgrade to be run again.  In order to re-run the upgrade, re-run the DXGL installer.

DXGL 0.5.13

DXGL 0.5.13 fixes up the default value for the “Add color depths” option, because version 0.5.12 and earlier had a default not compatible with current versions.  This one-time conversion resets the value for AddColorDepths in the registry entries to 1+4+16 which corresponds to enabling color depths 8-bit, 16-bit, and 32-bit, in order to ensure compatibility with Windows 8 and above.

The “Configuration Version” registry value in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\DXGL will be incremented to 2 in order to indicate this fix has been applied.

DXGL 0.5.17

Due to a bug found in the method used to uniquely identify profile paths, DXGL 0.5.17 and above will perform a one-time renaming of the profile registry keys.  These new profiles will no longer be compatible with DXGL 0.5.16 or below.

The “Configuration Version” registry value in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\DXGL will be incremented to 3 in order to indicate this fix has been applied.  If you need to migrate more version 2 profiles, change “Configuration Version” to 2 and re-run the installer.
