Download latest build here

MolotovCherry commented 2 months ago

The latest master build has a lot of features and fixes, and is stable.

Between the current stable release and latest master, these are the following feature changes:

no admin access required for state updates to driver (cli tool, python bindings, or future gui)
working cli tool (thanks @kylewlacy!)
optimized performance when under high cpu load
lots of miscellaneous improvements and fixes
hardware cursor support (for remote desktop apps, this is a big plus!)
up to 16 monitors (minus your only existing monitors, usable number might be slightly lower)
complete bindings for rust, and python (python 3.12 only!)
- examples on how to use it are here
windows service which does the job of starting persisted monitors on boot (disable or don't install if you're not interested in persistence)
- place vdd-user-session-service.exe wherever you want
- run as admin .\vdd-user-session-service.exe --install to install service
- to uninstall, run as admin .\vdd-user-session-service.exe --uninstall
- (you must keep the exe at the same location, otherwise the system won't be able to find it. if you want to re-locate it, uninstall the service first, move to new location, then reinstall it)

Note: there is currently no gui in master release

Download here - updated 4/12/24
