Version 1.4

Hi All,

Our dance school recital season starts next month (we do about a dozen), and I am beginning to think about how I'll be organizing things on the consoles.  Is Version 1.4 still expected to be out in May sometime?  If so, will it support Effects on Faders, or Intensity Masters of Cue Lists?  These will make a big difference on how I lay things out.

Just curious...

    Worst case you can always reinstal 1.3.1.

    releasenotes 1.4.0 says:... 

    CAU T I O N : Eos show files are forward compatible to v1.4.x. However, v1.4.x show files are
    not backward compatible to v1.3.x and previous. Once you load a v1.3.x show file
    and then save it under v1.4.x software, you may lose some show data if you try to
    revert the show file to v1.3.x software.

    - maybe there will be some official comments soon..?

    Having looked further at the build released (1.4.0.1.0.71) I would recomend reinstalling v1.3.1. There seem to by quite a few interesting thing happening in 1.4.

    As the upgrade seems to have been pulled from the site can we get some sort of comfirmation from ETC as to what the  situation is. I cannot remember this ever happening before and always regard upates as ready to go. Hopefully this is just a minor slip but I am leaving my system alone until someone tells me what is happening.

    Hi Malcolm (and everyone else!!  Man, you guys are fast).  There was a slight blip in the version numbering that was posted late Friday.  We'll have it back up first thing Monday.   We will also have the Mac Offline download posted.  It is a different download from Windows.  For you the few of you who managed to grab the software before we pulled it, please update to the release build we will post tomorrow.

     Regarding backwards compatibility - we make library changes in each release that could cause problems with certain fixtures if you programmed on a later version of the library and then went to an earlier version... might end up needing to do some reprogramming.  This is the reason for that statement.   

     We will begin shortly posting documents to advise you of library changes, additions and deletions from one release to the next.  

    Thanks!

    Anne

    Hi Anne,

    Thanks for that, I notice what appears to be a new Revolution fixture in the library is this a new all modules included version?

    Yes, that was at the request of several of our users.

    I was one of them - fantatsic. I'm swapping modules mid show at the moment so that will save some fiddling.

    Swapping Rev. modules mid show?  That's an application I'd never though of.  I hope this is during intermission.  Just curious, what are you swapping from and to?

    Hi Derek,

    We run a changing repertoire programme and offer LD's the Revolution as a basic tool but allow them a choice of modules. Sometimes this works well but on other occasions not. At the moment we are running with the shutters in permanently and swapping the iris and gobo modules as needed. On the Obsession it was easy as our profile allowed for all possibilities. Now that the same thing exists for Eos (subject to checking when I install the real 1.4 ) those changes we had to make will no longer be needed.

     Just installed 'official' build - no difference. As I said. Stick to 1.3.1. Less bugs.

    Do you honestly believe what is coming out of your mouth???? The mac version is a feature.... There are a ton of designers/programmers out there that are Mac users, but none of these other manufacturers have gotten there stuff together to figure this out. Just because it is only Offline right now doesn't mean that it will not be available as a client in the future. If the ground work doesn't get laid, then we don't get this feature. Second off I don't know what your talking about when you say that other manufacturers only make there software for one platform. the hog III, the piece of junk that it is, runs linux, and the offline runs on windows. Also where do you come up with 6 ver. to test? As far as I know all of the products run on XP embedded. So wouldn't that only be 2 platforms??? Do you work for another manufacturer and just want to go out and bash other people???? I haven't installed the new version yet, but I can't seeing being so bad that I should re-install 1.3.1.
