Version 1.4

Brent, 1.4 is scheduled to be released by the end of May.  It will support NPs on submasters, I-Masters on both submasters and playback faders, but not yet effects on subs.  That will be in a follow on release.

Hope that helps.

So...I've been waking up these last couple of mornings and the first place I log into is right here!  Hoping that I'll see v1.4 update!  I'm taking delivery of my Ion on Saturday (yeah!) and want to update before I start working!

Hi Pat.  Such dedication!!  Friday looks to be the day!

Thanks!

Anne 

Is there a version 1.4 manual to download?

Thanks,

Pat

I have heard whispers that there is a MAC OS X offline with 1.4 . . . is that true?

However, last night I downloaded "Eos_Ion_Offline_v140.zip".  Just now, when I unzipped it, all I got was a .exe file.  I can't find the file I downloaded on the site now, so I suspect it was pulled and is being tweaked.  I was/am so looking forward to running ETC software on my Mac, natively. 

It looks like the v1.4 release notes are still there, but nothing else.  Yikes!  I took my brand new ION out of the box and updated to v1.4...should I be concerned?

:-)  cursed early adopters!  :-)

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..?

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!

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?

 Malcolm

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

a 

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

Malcolm

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.
