September 29th, 2015 3.9.6 (9229.1) improves speed of network interface lookup. September 25th, 2015 3.9.6 (9225.1) checks to see if widget is unplugged which would cause computer to hang when using VCP serial connection (either Apple or FTDI driver). Not an issue with D2XX driver. September 24th, 2015 3.9.6 (9224.1) improves DMX USB Pro connection using the Apple FTDI driver. D2XX is still recommended by ENTTEC. But, that requires disabling the Apple FTDI driver after each OS X update. And, possibly switching the Apple FTDI driver on and off for other uses.

September 25th, 2014 3.6.5 (8025A) completely re-writes output and display update timing into a coordinated master thread. Previously these ran on independent threads which resulted in much more overhead and possible penalties from OS X for excessive CPU wakes. This new method improves coordination and prevents thread conflicts and duplication of effort when sequences, cues and effects are running simultaneously. This update constitutes a major internal re-wiring and it is not advisable to update to this version in the middle of a running production. September 15th, 2014 3.6.1 (8016A) changes label on scenes table in live window. September 15th, 2014 3.6.1 (8015A) adds ability to use subs as presets for live scenes.

August 25th, 2014 3.6.0 (7925A) uses effect follow time for sub based effect because subs do not have follow times. (note: manual step option is required for no follow at all) This is a release candidate build. August 21st, 2014 3.5.11 (7921A) adds help page for sequences window. August 14th, 2014 3.5.11 (7914A) adds test buttons for events and actions to sequence editing. August 12th, 2014 3.5.11 (7912A) adds improvements to sequence and effect windows. July 28th, 2014 3.5.10 (7828A) adds sequences and OSC destinations. Sequences are timed series of events. Each event can contain a number of actions such as starting a cue or effect or sending MIDI or OSC. OSC destinations allow cue and sequence actions to be set up with a named OSC destination. Then, if the IP address or port changes, it is not necessary to edit all of the actions. July 22nd, 2014 3.5.9 (7822A) adds ability of submasters to save marked channels. Marked non-intensity subchannels in submasters override levels in the live cue when the sub's master level is greater than zero (unless the proportional option is selected, in which case it is simple HTP). Effects can also now override levels of non-intensity subchannels that are marked in the source cues/subs. An additional option makes overridden non-intensity subchannels proportional to a mix between the live cue and the effect depending on the level of the effect's master.

June 10th, 2014 3.5.5 (7710A) fixes Quick Mode command to work with auxiliary windows. Fixes possible deadlock on error when importing DMX through a widget. June 4th, 2014 3.5.4 (7704A) adds more error reporting for D2XX connections with a DMX-USB Pro widget. Also will restore Mk2 api functions if needed via Plug/Unplug Widget command. May 31st, 2014 3.5.3 (7631A) adds "Update group:" to command line. This new command copies current levels to channels that are marked in the group being updated. May 29th, 2014 3.5.2 (7629A) improved DMX import. May 24th, 2014 3.5.1 (7624A) adds saving of cue sheet, cue list, sub list, group list and track sheet window positions.

Adds preference to allow cue actions to be triggered in quick mode. May 1st, 2014 3.4.5 (7601A) fixes backtrack/forwardtrack commands so that they work in Live mode. April 30th, 2014 3.4.5 (7530A) fixes menu issue with 3.4.5 (7529A) April 29th, 2014 3.4.5 (7529A) adds menu commands for Live window buttons.

(v3.5 release candidate) April 19th, 2014 3.4.4 (7519A) change so that quitting with no file open removes the saved last file for re-open. April 15th, 2014 3.4.4 (7515A) stability improvements and changed LXConsole->Install Extras->Arduino Examples to link to Arduino page on website. April 11th, 2014 3.4.4 (7511A) stability improvements.

March 24th, 2014 3.4.1 (7424A) improves update thread for submasters and effects. History Change Summary |
