The Control Assistant 5.0 has many new features and fixes from the previous release.

Whats new in the 5.0 release:

• Mini Macros!:  Mini Macros are an embedded scripting language. All command and target boxes that would normally take a key press like 1 can also use a Mini Macro. These are really powerful and allow you to write your own function for every action. You can send multiple key presses, random pauses, hold down keys, type commands, repeat keys several times, shift click the mouse, for each action...  Mini macros can be sent to your game window and across the Pearl Link connection directly to the Boxin Assistant. So you can bind one key to a Mini Macro and have your whole group click the screen, back up, wait a random time, take a quest ect...  Change from dual wield to a shield. Load a different spell set... Even keys stringed together like: "hutk2". Only your imagination limits you.
• A Mini Macro Builder:  is integrated into the tool now. This window allows you to construct your own Mini Macro to do what ever you want and simplifies creating complex macros. When complete you just click copy and paste it into your action box.
• On Battle Start and Stop:  The battle window has been revamped and at the bottom of the window there is now on Battle Start and on Battle Stop commands. These commands can contain a Mini Macro and are sent at the beginning and ending of battle. We have found them greatly helpful. For instance you can have a bow class take a few steps back at the start of battle. Then at the end of the fight target, follow you and loot. When Boxin several characters add a random pause on Battle Start so they all start combat at different times.
• Color Check Variance Controls: These new control's located in tool settings adjusts the color sensitivity and search area of all color checks in the tool. If heals are being triggered to often due to slight variances in the health bar color or location you can increase these to fix it.  
• Context Sensitive Tips: All controls now have tool tips that explain what they do and what you should enter into them.
• Rebuff Group Command: There is a new control at the bottom of the Buff window that allows you to recast all the buffs and tell your Boxin Assistants to all rebuff as well.  Really handy after a group wipe.
• Auto Start Pearl Link: You can now auto start Pearl Link. When checked the Control Assistant will auto start the server and the Boxin Assistants will auto connect. So just open the Control Assistant and then the Boxin Assistants and they will auto link. Just open them and start hunting.
• Master Loot Controls: We added a Master Loot Control window that allows you to assign one hot key for looting. You can send a Mini Macro to your game, text to the log file, and a Mini Macro over Pearl Link with the one key press. So press one key and your whole group can loot. We find this so helpful these days with all the collection quests we have do when boxing several characters. You will not want to play without this once you try it!
  
• The release version was set to match the Boxin Assistant because they require the same version to interact. So if using the Control Assistant 5.0 be sure you are using the Boxin Assistant 5.0 as well!
