OpenRazer 3.1 rolls out with new Razer device support and bug fixes

OpenRazer is the excellent free and open source driver collection for a big growing list of Razer devices. A big new release is out with OpenRazer 3.1. When paired up with the Polychromatic front-end, it gives you a really simple way to properly manage Razer devices on Linux.

This release pulls in support for:

• Razer Blade Advanced (Early 2021)
• Razer BlackWidow V3 Tenkeyless
• Razer BlackWidow Tournament Edition 2014
• Razer Basilisk Essential
• Razer Blade 15 Advanced (Mid 2021)
• Razer Huntsman V2 Analog

Other improvements include:

• Add more effects for Kraken Kitty Edition
• Add volume scroll support for Ornata V2
• Refactor some daemon internals
• Remove unused statistics/heatmaps feature

And there's also some bug fixes:

• pylib: Prevent DPI array error for DeathAdder mice
• pylib: Fix UnknownMethodException for charging zones
• Fix Razer DeathStalker Chroma matrix dimensions
• Add check for battery value of 0.0
• daemon: Only save DPI persistence above zero

That last one is important, and as a result of a bug report I put in. On Arch, sometimes when it all updates my own Razer Deathadder Chroma would often revert to a speed so low it was almost impossible to do anything so hopefully that will solve that.

Still a shame that hardware vendors like Razer don't support Linux directly, another example of the community doing what hardware vendors won't.
