Changelog:

- Changing the language while no vehicle was connected and then immediately connecting a vehicle could lead to the erasing of the settings for the magnetic sequences. This has been fixed.

- Reduced the probability of collision with USB devices of different manufacturers. In earlier versions the connection to the 8401 programming device could fail if there were USB devices from foreign manufacturers already connected, if they were also using USB-to-serial adapters. With 8401 programming devices delivered beginning from 2023  this should no longer happen, but this update significantly reduces the chance of collision even with 8401 programming devices delivered before 2023.

- The separate "immediate stop" command has been removed from the list of magnetic sequences, as it was made obsolete by the similarly named command in the macros.

- Support for new features introduced in vehicle firmware 1.06: automatically refreshing the display in case some settings were altered with the remote controller, and the new random control option for the macros. 

This version is only recommended for older operation systems on which the x64 version does not start. Please use only the x64 version, if possible!

Some functions of the x64 version are not available in this x86 version!

This CarManager version is currently neither compatible with ARM Macs (M1 or M2 processor) nor with macOS Ventura (Version 13.x).

The following adjustments/bug fixes were made:

- "Start and stop / Behaviour during long stop" : When the main lights were turned off automatically after the given waiting time, the red rear lights were not turned off, because the braking lights had priority over this feature. From now on, in this situation, the red rear lights turn off as well.

- If the lights or the speed are changed with the help of the remote controller while the vehicle is connected to the CarManager, now the CarManager refreshes the display to show the correct values. Requires CarManager 1.04 or newer.

- The "immediate stop" command in the macro editor didn't stop the vehicle quickly enough. Now the immediate stop can halt the vehicle immediately. For a smoother stop, you can use the "set speed to value" option, and give a value of zero. Please note, that if you use a macro to stop a vehicle completely, it will no longer have a chance to drive over another magnet series to receive a different command. So it's recommended to set a time limit for the macro, to allow the vehicle to drive off again.

- New random control feature for the macros. You can now set a probability of activation for any macro. Normally, a macro is executed every time the conditions are fulfilled, but with this new feature you can now give a random chance for the vehicle to ignore the command. For example, a driver might sometimes ignore a speed limit, or forget to use the turn signals. 

- Pressing the reverse button now allows the vehicle to drive off in reverse even if it has been stopped by a north magnet. The vehicle will then drive in reverse as usual, either until the button on the remote controller is released or until another north magnet is encountered. If the vehicle stops on another north magnet while driving in reverse, simply release the button and press it again, if you intend the vehicle to continue driving in reverse.
