• Diretta's automatic check no longer works from a nonsensical packet size, so the cycle times and transfer mode it recommends are the right ones.
• Applying a Diretta recommendation no longer turns settings you never chose into settings you own.
• Diretta Tuning no longer flags four settings as problems for behaving correctly.
• The Diretta check can no longer tell you your settings are good when it never actually tested them.

• Diretta Tuning's Advanced view is one table of settings you can actually act on.
• Three Diretta settings no longer look like they failed to take effect, and the thread mode explains itself.
• Downloading logs from Diretta Tuning now gives you the renderer's log instead of an archive without any logs in it.
• Diretta's CPU settings now offer every core your appliance actually has.

• Applying a Simple preset or a detected recommendation no longer quietly resets the Diretta settings you had customised elsewhere.
• Diretta Tuning no longer lets you pick a CPU your appliance does not have, which used to stop the renderer starting.
• Fixed a Diretta Tuning setting that could stop playback entirely: picking "auto" for cycle time or MTU left the renderer unable to start.
• The Diretta "Other CPU range" setting now actually takes effect instead of being saved and ignored.
• Checking your Diretta settings now takes one minute instead of up to five, works the right values out from your own hardware rather than guessing at them, and shows you the arithmetic behind every number it recommends.
• Diretta Tuning stops offering two settings whose result you could not have checked, and offers the multi-stream request only in the forms measured to work.
• You can now download your appliance's logs straight from Diretta Tuning, which is what the log verbosity setting was always for.
• The Simple and Advanced views of Diretta Tuning can no longer disagree about your settings, and picking a preset tells you which values it will change before it changes them.
• The Diretta minimum cycle setting is now shown only for the transfer mode that actually uses it.

• Diretta Tuning no longer shows two settings that could not take effect or could not be verified, and shows the packet-fragment setting only for the transfer modes that use it.
• The renderer name now sits with the device's identity rather than among the timing settings.

• The console can now leave the Diretta workers unpinned, and can set how many CPUs the secondary worker may use.
• A cancelled detection now reports how far it actually got.
• A recommendation is no longer rejected as out of date just because the renderer listed your Target in a different order.
• The Simple view now lets the renderer size its own transmission cycle for whatever is playing, instead of pinning one value that only suited some of your library.
• Settings the renderer cannot read back are no longer coloured like errors.

• Diretta Tuning now shows your setting and what the device actually reports, and explains itself only where a value needs attention.
• The detection report no longer repeats the same explanation on every row, and shows callback timings precisely enough to compare.
• Diretta automatic detection now measures renderer callback timing precisely enough to report it, instead of showing the same rounded figure for every setting it tried.
