What changed
What is new in every version of Axion, newest first.

Latest update
Main additions and changes

- Live Boost has three modes: Light, Balanced and Max. Every single change is still there under Customize.
- The adapter tuner sets your network adapter to its best settings in one click, and only restarts it once.
