Build 37.7 for El Capitan
-
There's a new build for El Capitan users - now the main download after a few days of testing. This build will not work on 10.6.
Most people will get an update in the next few days.
What's new:
- Fix for a battery drain issue on some machines
- Fix for flashing with "movie mode" on some machines
- Updated Sparkle (automatic updater)
- Now 10.7 minimum (and 64-bit only) due to the Sparkle update
- Support for "big" latitudes where the sun doesn't set or rise some days
- A "check for updates" button, by popular demand
- Some fixes for darkroom mode
What's not fixed on all machines (because it's outside our control):
- White spots on video with Intel video

It worked really well on OS X 10.11.
The OS X dark theme on sunset function only changes the color of the icons, but not the theme, on macOS 10.12. It's a developer beta, so I am just reporting it, and I am not expecting a fix very soon :)
-
@Tzm41 thanks - we will wait to see where this goes, but we may have to turn the feature off depending on the update.

I'm having a flickering problem in both 37.1 and 37.2 in OSX 10.11.5, Chrome Version 51.0.2704.103 (64-bit)...the flux color changes turn off and on really fast. At first I thought it was only during transitions, but it is happening all the time. This seems to be a purely Chrome thing.
-
Have you rebooted since installing 37.2? This usually helps.
If you can't reboot, disable "automatic brightness" until you can.
-
@herf turning off the automatic brightness seems to have fixed it. (I haven't turned it back on but I have rebooted). As to why it was only happening in Chrome, I don't know.
-
I'm having an issue with flux turning off when I adjust brightness of my display. It doesn't seem to flicker any more, though.
If I turn the brightness up or down, flux goes off for a good second or two.
Any ideas?
-
@herf do we need to update if using 10.10.5 yosemite & mountain lion? TIA

using version 37.2 on 10.11.5 with amd radeon 6970. Default settings. During the first day of launch after the latest flux update the app worked fine, but the 2nd day in the morning it went nuts and got stock in bedtime mode, quit the program from the menu and still the screen color didnt change. finally had to reboot to fix it.
Since then it randomly changes settings during the day, sometimes bedtime, sometimes sunset, regardless the hour. and if i quit the app the color profile sticks. reboot and reboot.
Long time user, really like the app, but this is frustrating. -

Long time user, really like the app, but this is frustrating.Having exactly the same issue! Flux is going nuts, even if the tray application is quit.
-
Does your display have a default color profile ("Color LCD")?
-
@herf Nop, not listed. before flux i was using the default profile, im on an imac 27 btw.
-
So it only lists "f.lux profile" and nothing else?
Or are there two listed?
During the day, f.lux tries to re-select the default one. I'm wondering if some models don't have one anymore?
-
I have three monitors hooked up to my iMac and since upgrading to 37.2 my iMac monitor does not return to day mode when the other two external monitors do.
-
I have installed 37.2 on My MacBook Pro (13-inch, Early 2011) running OS X 10.11.5. My laptop have Sudden Motion Sensor (SMS). When I move my laptop, it affects flux functionality. For example when flux is disabled at day, moving my laptop suddenly makes flux enable! and vice versa.
Is it a bug? Or is it a compatibility issue with older MacBooks? -

@herf this worked for me!
-
@mayhem Great!
-
@herf :( installed yesterday but no change for me, just jumped back to sunset mode, quit flux and a few minutes later the profile activated again with the app closed. Reboot.
-
I may have spoken too soon.. the night time color was much faded from the previous version, but the day time colors were not in effect. Today, the night mode colors were still present on the main iMac monitor while the two external monitors are set correctly. Sorry for the false positive.
