Microsoft has ended the ability to cross-sign drivers. Cross-signing of drivers is required by any Windows 64-bit OS prior to Windows 10. If a driver is not signed, Windows 7, 8 or 8.1 will not trust the driver and, as a result, will not load it. This will make V7.1.1 the last update to the acontis Windows Real-time Hypervisor products for the 64-bit versions of Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 8.1.
Version 7.1.1 also includes a variety of enhancements:
- Request Admin rights for the Uploader tool only if needed.
- Optimized/Enhanced real-time device handling if Intel VT virtualization is enabled (e.g. for real-time USB drivers).
- LxWin: support for automatic date and time synchronization.
- LxWin: Source and license archives will be installed at .SDK. sub directory.
- LxWin: improved real-time behavior using the timer interrupt real-time guard band.
- LxWin: improved real-time behavior using Local Apic TSC deadline mode by default.
- LxWin: Update to Linux kernel version 4.9.255.
- RTOS32Win: Update to On Time RTOS-32 version 6.21.
