New Features in this build
Chase icon in the Cuelist Directory
In the Cuelist Directory, chases will have a  icon.
Scene support in the Cuelist Window
Scenes are now shown in the Cuelist Window as single cue cuelists. The timing assigned to the Scene can be modified from here along with the Scene's name. Additionally, Scenes now support trigger macro's.
Timecode Jump after frames
Jump after frames prevents less-than-perfect timecode sources from causing random jumps if they send an incorrect frame. To set the number of consistent frames that must been seen before jumping to that timecode value, press Configure on the Timecode Toolbar and set the value for "Jump after frames". A higher number is useful for preventing undesired jumps from dirty sources, but will wait for that many frames before making desired jumps as well. A lower number may cause more incorrect jumps but will be more responsive. The default is 30 frames. If you want to turn this feature off (always follow the timecode source exactly), set this to 0 frames.
Known Issues
General
Full ZIP disks
Backing up or copying files to a full ZIP disk will lock up the desktop. Ensure that there is space available before attempting these operations.
USB disks on Hog Unit
External USB disk drives are not mounted when plugged into the USB ports of a Hog III Rack unit.
Software Update
Occasionally the DPs will crash when updating the software. Resetting the DP and trying again should be successful.
Rounding error
It is possible to observe an error of +/- 1 in settings such as Rate or Flash%
Editors
Programmer output
On launching a new show, the Programmer may not be live and it is necessary to restart the editor process or log off and on to correct this. It will only happen the first time a new show is launched.
Undo
Using Undo to reverse an operation that brought fixtures into an editor can sometimes leave one of the fixtures in the editor.
Missing values
With some fixtures (confirmed with Pan and Tilt on Cyberlights), extremes of parameter values will not appear in editors. The information is there, but there is a bug that stops the value being displayed.
Colour Picker
After resizing the colour picker and then reopening it or recalling it from a View, the editor may crash when you close it.
Playback
Inhibitive Group Masters
Changes made to a Group that is attached to a Master may not be reflected in what is controlled by that Master. It is necessary to reattach the Group to the Master to ensure that it controls the intensity of the correct fixtures.
Output Window
Output Window will not reflect changes to the names of items in the Source view until the cell is changed through a playback action (Go, Release, etc) or the window is closed and reopened.
Multiple Mini Wings
You may have a maximum of 4 playback wings attached to each console.
SOLO
Using the SOLO option on a flash button has performance issues, a delay can be observed.
Release on off
A Cuelist set to 'Release on off' when the flash button is used can sometimes ignore the release time and snap out if the fader is at 0%. The workaround is to leave the master at 100% when used in this way.
Releasing fixtures at shutdown
If there is active output at shutdown, the DPs will not properly release playback leaving a half-released state on stage. It is advisable to release all playbacks manually before shutting down (Pig + Release)
HS colour fades
Crossfading between HS values will not crossfade as would be expected by CMY values. The nature of HS colour space means that the colours will change as if you dialled the Hue wheel, sometimes resulting in a crossfade through a range of colours.
Virtual Master intensity
A Cuelist that has previously been mounted on a Master will remember its last known fader intensity, and will use this when fired from a Virtual Master. To change the intensity, you need to reattach the Cuelist to a physical Master and use the fader.
Pages
Recalling the current page using the syntax Page <number> Enter will not trigger the activity macros for that page.
IOP
If you log off a show with timecode running into an IOP, the IOP may hang. You will have to power cycle the IOP.
Rate Thruster
When using the thruster to change the rate of a chase with Choose + rate thruster, it can reset the rate to defaults. If you release Choose before the thruster, you will see your new rate reflected in the playback bar but when you release the thruster it will change the rate but not show you.
Tip: Changing the choose before you release the thruster will make it hold the new thrusted rate correctly.
