Download the update from the link below. Make sure CF is closed, run the installer. An upgrade will be performed if Centrafuse 2.0.806 is currently installed.

2.1.1210 RELEASE
Centrafuse 2.1.1210 is the first update to the final 2.0 release (2.0.806), and contains many small bug fixes and enhancements. We anticipate there may be some arising issues due to some core code changes, please install and use this update keeping in mind this is a pre-release to a soon-to-come Version 2.2 in the coming months, and then 3.0 sometime next year.

UPDATE 2.1
The Centrafuse 2.1 SDK is now available in the Developers section of your My Account page. The SDK provides: (UPDATE: Will be available SOON after 2.1 release)

• New Delphi.NET example source code
• Latest CFPlugin.dll - Exposes Centrafuse Interfaces and Classes for Plugin Development
• Aura and Onyx PSD Skin packages.
• 2 easy-to-understand examples in 4 different languages (C#, VB, C++, and (new) Delphi) including VS2005 Solution and Project files
• A functional CentraFlash Plugin including source code for developing Flash applications that can communicate with Centrafuse
• RadioModule example (HQCT)
• Updated, easy-to-read documentation, in CHM and HTML format
• 3rd party apps

** NEW in 2.1.1210 ** DVD MODULE
The DVD Module has been rewritten to use low level DirectX calls. This should improve performance and heavily improve ease of getting DVD to run correctly on various systems. However, this is an initial release of this code and it should be expected that there will be some new DVD issues surfacing. We will work with users to resolve these as soon as possible once reported.

** NEW in 2.1.1210 ** AUDIO SYSTEM RESET
You now have an option to reset the Bass Audio Engine when returning from hibernation/standby. This should clear up many audio issues if having them on resume from standby/hibernation, you can turn this option on/off on Page 4 of the Audio/Video settings by toggling the "Reset Audio on Resume" option.

** NOTE for 2.1.1210 ** HQCT-eA CODE HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM HQCT RADIO PLUGIN
We have removed the turning on/off of the HQCTeA amplifier in the HQCT radio module. We will be adding HQCTeA related code in a seperate plugin, for much better control of the amp, in the near future.

REMEMBER!!! LOGS FOR SYSTEM REPORTS ARE OFF BY DEFAULT!!!
Log writing by Centrafuse is now OFF by default. If experiencing issues with Centrafuse, and you need to submit a bug report with a system report, you will have to enable the logs in settings now. General Centrafuse logging (most important) is in General Settings, Bluetooth logging is in Phone settings, SatRadio logging and OBDII logging are in their respective settings screens. All log settings are advanced settings. You can also enable all logs by passing the -logevents command line parameter to centrafuse on startup, which will override whatever you have set in settings for the various logs.

REMEMBER!!! NEW COMMAND LINE PARAMETER TO USE WHEN CREATING BUG REPORTS
We have added a new cmd line param, "-disable3rdplugins" (w/o the quotes), which will, when passed, cause all 3rd party plugins not supported by Flux to not be loaded. This will be useful for users to see if any of their 3rd party plugins are causing issues with their centrafuse installs. It will also be required to be used after the official 2.0 release when submitting bug reports, more info on that coming soon.
