<![CDATA[Windows May 2020 update (2004)]]>We are updating May 2020 users to the very newest builds automatically.

You can read about feature changes in these new builds here:
https://justgetflux.com/news/pages/v4/readme/

Known issues (and workarounds):

  • In 19041 (20H1) and 19042 (20H2), you will usually see f.lux reset by the Display Settings panel in Windows. Also, occasionally a notifier will do the same. If you do not like this, you can choose f.lux options > Always use Windows internal color table to prevent it.

  • In 19042 (20H2), we are hearing reports of color artifacts using newer Intel adapters. Still investigating, but do be sure you have v4.118 if you have this issue.

Details on May 2020 specific fixes also include these:

  • v4.115 fixes "blue/green" artifacts that were seen after the update.

  • v4.116:

    • fixes a performance regression, so moving the slider should be fast again.
    • Also, you can (and probably should not) ask f.lux to use the Windows "internal" color table access in f.lux options. This will use parts of the night light system to avoid compatibility problems. We've been trying to pull back from doing this in these newer releases, but it's here for testing. If you're having trouble with other programs and f.lux conflicting, this might help. (When the option is not available, f.lux has determined that it needs to do this already, or that the system doesn't support it.)

  • v4.117:

    • rolls back one change from v4.116 (should be same as 4.115 for blue-green artifacts)

  • v4.118:

    • fixes a problem where dark theme stops switching automatically

I can't find a model number, but it's for the Latitude line of laptops.

We are supporting DisplayLink (by name) for these USB-C hubs, but there are some other vendors we would like to try to improve, but right now I don't think they have support for color controls. If it's DisplayLink we can probably get it to work.

Alternately, in f.lux options > "Always use Windows internal color table"

But didn't change anything.

I have an Intel HP laptop with intel graphics and nvidia quadro. f.lux is 4.118.
Any hint is appreciated.
Thank you.

We try to auto-detect, but the detection is not working very well as of this update.

Paste to the f.lux forum or email us for help. Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. 26.20.15029.27016: Radeon RX 590 Series (20200421) Generic PnP Monitor, 509 x 286mm, built 2014 Chromaticities: R=0.635742 0.333984 G=0.308594 0.623047 B=0.150391 0.067383 W=0.313477 0.329102 sRGB gamut: 100%, AdobeRGB gamut: 69% Generic PnP Monitor, 509 x 286mm, built 2016 Chromaticities: R=0.635742 0.333984 G=0.308594 0.623047 B=0.150391 0.067383 W=0.313477 0.329102 sRGB gamut: 100%, AdobeRGB gamut: 69% Winlimit=0, 0 Monitor 1 on Radeon RX 590 Series: VCGT=0 gamma=1 Monitor 2 on Radeon RX 590 Series: VCGT=0 gamma=1 Windows Build: 19041.329 --------------------------- OK ---------------------------

Issue: Broken color gamut, warmthness is nowhere near expected values, amber almost looks greyscale (colors appear normalized instead of filtered with a color correction table or w/e)

What I think happened: F.lux started, expected color translations/filters were applied correctly, f.lux auto-updated, the notification rendered, and the color low end of the color gamuet broke.

Always use internal color table is a viable workaround

I can confirm v4.117 is working good. I no longer see blue/green artifacts.

Thanks!

More to do here.

If you're on DST right now, you'll find the solar time is quite a ways from your wall clock, but this may be a nice thing to know.

I received a notification about version 4.117 being installed and about "Solar Time". The release note says "We added “Solar time” to the preferences", but I can't that in the preferences.
Is it ON by default?

EDIT: Wait... Is it only the "Solar time: XX:XX" text?
