 			Notes on Major Changes in Releases
 
 
+Version 1.0.5:
+
+Solaar has rules that can perform actions such as pressing keys or scrolling when certain HID++ feature notifications happen.  Users can change these rules either by editing ~/.config/solaar/rules.yaml or via a GUI.  Rules depend on X11 and so are only available under X11.  This is an experimental feature for Solaar and may undergo changes in the future.
+
+Each setting has a clickable lock icon that determines whether the setting can be changed.

 Version 1.0.4:
 
 Devices that connect directly via Bluetooth or USB are now supported.  These devices show up in the GUI as separate lines, not under a receiver.  A device that is directly connected and also paired to a receiver will show up twice, but the entry under the receiver will not be active.  With this change identifying devices becomes more difficult so occasionally check your Solaar configuration file (at ~/.config/solaar/config.json) to see that there is only one entry for each of your devices.
