DeckBridge changed considerably since 0.15.0. AJAZZ AKP05 support landed. Widget controls grew more capable. Pairing recovery became more reliable.

AJAZZ AKP05 joins supported decks​

AKP05E support adds ten LCD keys. Four encoders also work. Touch strip adds four zones. Stream Deck + pairing now works. Eight keys reach Elgato software. Remaining two become configurable side keys.

Each side key supports widgets. Key presses can refresh widgets. Presses can also run commands. Encoders forward turns and presses. Strip taps and swipes forward too.

Touch strip gets widget zones​

Each strip zone gets independent widgets. Zone previews double as tabs. Pick one to edit it. Three ownership modes control repainting. Elgato can own every zone. DeckBridge can override app images. Repaint mode restores widgets after feedback.

Widgets gain precise text controls​

Size controls now include Fit. Wrapping handles words or characters. Narrow font fits more text. Colours, alignment, padding, and outlines adjust. Side keys show live previews. Clipped text gets visible warnings.

Device key art also gets cropping. Users can position images before upload. See widget controls.

Pairing survives more disruptions​

Paired decks now regain connections. DeckBridge watches lost child connections. Local Elgato software can restart automatically. Restart only follows previously paired decks. Settings expose delay and manual restart.

Tray status gets clearer​

Tray header now shows app version. Available updates show one indicator. Release checks still require user action.

Bundled components and possible causes

Windows Tauri launcher scored 3/71. NSIS utility DLL scored 2/71. Portable ZIP omits NSIS. Its Txiki relay still scored 2/71. QuickJS runs inside Txiki. Extracted native DLLs scanned clean. Packaging may trigger scanner heuristics. Exact causes remain unproven.
