Version 1.7 is here! This release of Driver Fusion focuses on improving the interface and user experience. The release notes below contain more specific details about the updates, changes and fixes that Driver Fusion 1.7 introduces.

New features:

• Driver family - Driver inspection and driver overview have been combined into a single completely redesigned screen named driver family (named driver family because all driver versions are combined into one group, e.g. AMD display drivers). The redesigned interface includes a more spacious layout, icons and better navigation.
• Category view - Instead of listing all drivers the driver family screen just shows the categories. This makes it easier to find the driver that you want to delete instead of having to search through the list of all driver families.
• Details view - This view provides the list of all driver families just like you were used to but now with the new design of the driver family screen.
• Notification bar - Hints and notifications have been combined into one simple notification bar at the top of the screen.
• Steam - If you use Driver Fusion on Steam you can now launch Driver Fusion without having the Steam client running. To do so you need to run the Driver Fusion executable with the parameter "-nosteam" (without the quotes).
• Hint navigation - It is now possible to pause hints. Previous and next buttons can be used to browse all the hints manually.
• Installed filter - Driver overview has been integrated with the new driver family screen. Installed drivers can now be filtered from the complete list by selecting the option to only show installed drivers.

Changed features:

• No items available - Added an empty item text to lists that do not contain any items yet.
• Manual and credits - Buttons have been added to the general settings to open the manual and view the credits screen.
• Updated hints - Most of the texts have been updated, this also includes several new tooltips.
• Verification - Resend verification will now return the user to the verification screen instead of returning to the main Driver Fusion window.
• Multi removal - It is no longer possible to select multiple driver families by default. Experienced users can re-enable the selection of multiple driver families in the cleaning settings.
• Progress indication - Backup and removal of driver family entries now indicates its progress in percentages.
• Monitor - Support has been added for more hardware. This includes Samsung SSDs, Intel Haswell and AMD Jaguar CPUs.
• Device control - Device control has been moved to the maintenance section instead of the computer section.
• Device driver backup - Backups made with device control now better adhere to the file structure as originally defined by the vendors.

Resolved issues:

• Horizontal scrolling - Improved horizontal scrolling support, fixing certain settings being partially unreadable on small window sizes and devices having unnecessary horizontal scrollbars in device control.
• Desktop backup - Fixed desktop backup showing '0 icons'.
• Faulty log - Fixed a potential crash on Windows Vista when trying to load a corrupted log in the log screen.
• In-app update - Temporary update files would sometimes not be deleted. Driver Fusion now checks on startup if all temporary files from the last update were deleted properly.
• Device driver backup - Some files would not be incorporated in the restore procedure due to incorrect naming.

Driver Fusion 1.6 has been released! The main changes include Steamworks integration and a new monitor feature. Below you will find the release notes containing the details about this release.

• Power information - In device control you can now find information about the power management state and capabilities of a device.
• Reporting - You can now generate a system report too. This report not only contains a summary of your system's information and devices, but also all devices with their driver's version and provider.

Version 1.4 has been released and below you will find the release notes containing the details about this release.

New features:

• Connectivity indication - All screens that require internet access show whether Driver Fusion has internet access or not. The connectivity indication automatically updates when the internet access status changes.
• Hints - Community suggested feature - We added several hints to each screen in Driver Fusion. These hints are intended to help novice users and provide tips as well as detailed descriptions of the available features. Experienced users can disable the hints in the general settings.
• Driver detection - You can now help to improve the detection of drivers by automatically reporting anonymous driver information about drivers to Treexy. You can always disable this functionality in the settings if you don't feel like contributing to the Driver Fusion community.
• OEM/Phantom devices - In device control you can now filter by OEM and Phantom devices. OEM shows devices with drivers that do not ship out-of-box with Windows. Phantom shows devices that are installed but are not currently connected to the computer.
• Device identifier - Community suggested feature - Ever discovered devices with a yellow exclamation/question mark or with the name 'unknown device'? Driver Fusion can now try to identify the type, name and manufacturer of these devices. Our database is constantly updated with new devices, but achieving a solid detection rate is going to take some time to complete.
• Device control - We added the ability to copy a device or driver property to the clipboard by pressing Ctrl+C. You can now also double-click on a file property to go directly to the containing location.

Driver Fusion 1.3 has just been released! Multiple stability fixes have been applied and Device Control has received a large update. But that's not all, for more information about the changes see the release notes below.

New features:

• Translations - We had a lot of help with improving the translations. The following languages were improved: Polish, Russian, German, Hebrew and Dutch. We would like to thank Lukasz 'RobeN' Abramczuk, Iakov Markov, Tim Mammitzsch and Itiel Yossefian for all their help and feedback. As a side note, we've finished updating a large part of the interface so those changes were not passed along to the translators yet.
• Uninstaller - The Driver Fusion uninstaller can now also delete user generated files. It will ask the user if settings and backups should also be removed when uninstalling.
• Device control - Improved interface and improved user feedback. More device properties are visible and codes, such as flags and removal policy, now show descriptive representations of the values. The status of a device is now visible in the view on the left hand side and icons have been added to the sections as well.

Changed features:

• Interface tweaks - Lots of interface tweaks for better user feedback. For example: the watermark explanations in the input fields no longer disappear on selecting the field but only when the user starts typing and entries that will be deleted on reboot won't show up as remaining entries after cleaning.
• Multi-monitor - Driver Fusion now restores to its previous position and monitor correctly when starting Driver Fusion.
• Grid overview - All the grid overviews have been updated. Newly added entries will now sort according to the existing entries and the random unintentional close on certain system configurations is resolved.
• Premium information redesign - The screen that is shown to free users when a feature is premium only has been redesigned to contain less text and to redirect the user to the website for more information instead of to the store page only.
• Registry keys - Improved the advanced removal algorithm so that hard to remove registry entries now either get removed instantly or at least on reboot.
• Enhanced removal mode - Before Driver Fusion will clean any hard to remove entries the user first has to allow Driver Fusion to force deletion of those entries. For new installations this will now be enabled by default.

Resolved issues:

• Icon restore - Icons now always get restored correctly the first time.
• Blurry text - All the text is now as crisp as it can be. When resizing the Driver Fusion window the text of notifications would sometimes become hard to read (blurred).
• In-app update -Driver Fusion is now able to update itself without the language files causing the update to fail in certain conditions.

Lots of new features are released in Driver Fusion 1.2 which is now available to download for everyone! We've taken the opportunity to fix a number of issues and bring improved performance and stability to Driver Fusion. Our next goals are to add several feature requests and to release a few other surprises we've been working on. We hope you enjoy the new version!

• Reporting - The reporting feature allows you to generate reports of maintenance actions. The maintenance actions are provided in an easy to read, formatted report that you can view and print using any web browser.

Resolved issues:

• Starting/closing - We resolved several issues causing Driver Fusion to close unintentionally.
• General experience - A handful of changes are made to solve some minor issues.
