                            December 16, 2005

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Overview
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
This document describes changes to the Synaptics TouchPad Driver for
Windows 9x & ME, Windows NT, Windows 2000 and Windows XP. Only external
releases have been documented. Other releases were for internal use, beta 
tests, or for specific customer requests. These are not documented here.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version  8.2.9 12/16/2005 (Win9x&ME/WinNT/Win2K/WinXP)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bug Fixes
  -Corrected a font format problem for the German help topic text.  
  -Fixed a problem where the device was not getting unacquired as early as
   possible for some plugin actions resulting in the mouse cursor appearing
   to be hung. This could happen for some plugin actions assigned to a button
   while the button is held down and also for tap zone actions that might
   cause a message box or dialog to pop-up. We will now unacquire the device
   as early as possible for these plugin actions so the device cannot be
   accidentally left in an acquired state. 
  -Added a DualModeQueryState function to the Enhancement App so we can use
   a test program to find out the current Dual Mode state (Cursor Mode or
   Button Mode). 
  -Added Styk only settings to remove MoodPad from the Accessories menu
   and also settings to replace "Tap to Click" with "Press to Select"
   in the tray icon menu for an OEM customers INF settings for a Styk
   only platform. 
  -Added a new PNP ID to the INF settings for an OEM customer. 
  -Corrected "Annullér" to "Annuller" for the Danish help topic text.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bug Fixes

   flag is set to a non-zero value in the INF. This was only being used by one OEM.
