New in Continuity Activation Tool 1.1.2 (Nov 27, 2014)
- Improved uninstallation reliability. It fixes a bug where the uninstaller could in some cases re-activate OS kext signature protection even if unsigned kexts are installed. Trim Enabler users should not use the uninstallation feature from prior versions to avoid risks of issues at boot-time.

New in Continuity Activation Tool 1.1.0 (Nov 27, 2014)

It firsts looks for previous backups made with the tool, and if it can't find any, kexts from the OS X Recovery Disk are used. It will only reactivate OS kext signature protection if it is sure that all system kexts installed are signed. The uninstallation can be also be called from the command line. (#15, #21, #36, #40, #45)

- Activation will now abort if 1 of the two mandatory kexts are missing
- Incorrect or inaccurate messages
