Known Issues
------------
- **Audio Input Handling**
- LedFx might explode if you don't have a valid audio input stream. Sorry and whoops.
- **sACN Display Rate**
- Still fiddling with the sACN library - currently the "refresh rate" variable is a best effort FPS and is not accurate.
- **Editing active device breaks it**
- Maybe don't do this. We're working on it!
- **Incomplete Change List**
- We just didn't keep track! Whoops!
Coming up...

Other News
----------
.. _LedFx Website: https://ledfx.app
.. |LedFx Website| replace:: **LedFx Website**
- |LedFx Website|_: We now have a website! Not much going on here save for hosting the Windows installer downloads.
- **Easy Windows Installation.** Windows users can download an installer that automatically updates LedFx with the latest features for you. `Windows installer download <https://ledfx.app/download/>`_
- **Automatic crash reporting with Sentry:** If something breaks, we'll know about it! Any errors will be automatically transmitted to the developers
so we can fix them - in the unlikely event any sensitive personal data is transmitted with a crash report the developers will remove it as soon as possible.
The crash reporter we use is Sentry - you can see their `privacy policy <https://sentry.io/privacy/>`_ that developers are held to. The LedFx privacy policy
is pretty simple - we will use the logs to fix LedFx. We don't use any user analytics, user tracking or any of that.
