- On the Lite, setting LED related variables through the Serial API correctly updates the variable values.
- On the Lite, disables arpeggiates by default.
- Removes single quote as a separator.

- On the Lite, adds an on/off variable for the LEDs that is separate from brightness.
- On the Lite, adds a submenu in the GTM for the LEDs.
- Adds the chording and spurring timeouts to the GTM.
- Adds custom integer types to optimize memory usage tailored to each device hardware's need in order to maximize available ram and chordmap lookups.

- Changes HID keyboard reports to be non-blocking in a buffer so that if a relatively high keystroke delay is used (ie above 1000us), the keystroke delay will not block incoming key press and release actions that could affect chord detection. A high keystroke delay may be necessary for a host OS that has a low power mode enabled.
- Changes the GTM to output correctly with the non-blocking keystroke delay buffer.

- Adds left shift and right shift as a chord for capslock toggle, available through the
RST FUNCcommand through the Serial API.
- Fixes issue for reporting version number and type with the Serial
API VERSIONcommand - Fixes
RST FUNCcommands for the CC1 where numbers are used for backspace, delete, and left and rigth arrow keys to use the default primary layout's characters instead of numbers which are on the num-shift layer
- Sets the default for enable compound chording to false while this feature is developed in beta releases
Jump to Main Releases
- Adds compound chord support for up to 256 levels. To create a compound chord, in the impulse menu press Shift+Enter instead of Enter.
- Adds ability to activate and create dynamic chord libraries. Adds two new action codes, Base Library and Dynamic Library
- Base Library can be assigned to a switch location or output in a chord. Re-activates your base chord library, and deactivates any currently active dynamic chord library.
- Dynamic Library must be used as part of a chord output. Allows for the activation & creation of dynamic chord libraries. When included as part of a chord output, that chord's input becomes the seed for a dynamic chord library, and that library is activated. Any new chords created while a dynamic library is active are established one level above its seed.
- Fixed all known 1.9.9-beta bugs related to compound chords including:
- Support for modifiers
- Support for arpeggiates
- Ability to overwrite compound chords

- Fixes an instance where a key would be stuck outputting until any other key was pressed
- Adds press_next and release_next action code functionality to allow for macros for chord outputs.

- Adds Compound Chordmap settings to the GTM. This includes enable/disable as well as timeouts.
- Fixes defect of processing arpeggiates after a non-chord followed by a successful chord.
- Fixes defect of incorrectly adding a space after a minus or slash arpeggiate.
- Fixes the return output for the Serial API
CML C4delete chordmap command.
- Changes impulse chording created chord outputs that use the right space bar (typically for a Lite) to output the normal spacebar to keep the output in the ASCII range.
- Changes the default keystroke delay from 480us to 1200us to be within the Full USB report frequency specification limit of 1kHz.
- Changes some hardcoded functional chordmaps in the CC1 to optionally installable using the Serial API
RST FUNCcommand.
- Adds debug methods to the Serial API for the CCX to enable a pass through of the USB host chip's serial output.

- Fixes the default secondary keymap for the CC Lite. Previous versions had some incorrect offsets based on older keymapings.
- Sets the default mouse scrolling speed to 2, since with a default of 1, the half speed integer divides to 0.
- Sets mouse scroll polling rate to 1/4th that of mouse move update polling rate to allow for more control over the large scroll detent implemented on the host OS.
- Adds 12 Key Rollover
