Compatibility issue with PawnIO 2.1.0.0 and LibreHardwareMonitor update #96

Description

Description

After updating PawnIO to v2.1.0.0, FanCtrl stopped functioning correctly.

I have confirmed that updating the LibreHardwareMonitor (LHM) library to v0.9.6 resolves this issue and restores functionality.

⚠️ Note for Users

Updating to LHM v0.9.6 causes changes in sensor names and their ordering. Existing configurations will need to be reviewed and re-assigned manually after the update.

Environment

  • **FanCtrl Version: v1.7.8
  • OS: Windows 11 24H2
  • CPU: Ryzen 7 9800X3D
  • Motherboard: MSI MAG X870 TOMAHAWK WIFI

Steps to Reproduce / Findings

  1. Run FanCtrl with PawnIO v2.1.0.0 -> Fails to detect sensors/control fans.
  2. Replace/Update LibreHardwareMonitor.dll to v0.9.6 -> Functionality is restored.
  3. Observe that sensor names/order have changed, requiring a settings reset.

Suggested Fix

Update the bundled LibreHardwareMonitor to v0.9.6 (or newer) to maintain compatibility with the latest PawnIO.
