v1.0.3 Input and adapter management

#

Kontrol is now more dependable at managing controller bindings, adapter packages, profiles, compatibility information, and window placement.

More flexible input mappings

  • Unified bindings now support axes, buttons, and signed button pairs.
  • Cross-kind mappings and threshold-based axis triggers work with proper re-arming.
  • Legacy profiles migrate without overwriting existing unified bindings.

Safer adapter installation

  • Local adapter ZIPs are validated for identity, checksums, safe paths, and SDK compatibility.
  • Staged activation and rollback protection preserve profiles, settings, and logs.
  • Failed activation restores the previous adapter instead of leaving a partial installation.

Clearer status and reliability

  • Adapter units, game-build labels, and compatibility information are presented more clearly.
  • Restored windows stay on a visible display, including portrait and partially off-screen layouts.
  • Missing default profiles can be recreated from active adapter defaults.

Existing installations can update normally using the Windows installer.
