iRFR

We will be posting the iRFR app to the iTunes store shortly (will post a notification here then that is done).  We are still in final testing on this.   It will work with the current Congo/Congo jr release, but not with Eos and Ion until 1.5 is released.  You will need a closed wireless network.  We will provide further instruction on this via a wiki shortly.

Thanks!

What is your definition of "shortly"?

"Shortly" is a weasel word often used by developers and marketeers to explain a time frame in which several unpredictable unknowns exist.  In this particular instance, "shortly" is used as we have not yet finished testing the iRFR app and Apple is not particularly helpful when you are posting apps where there is a dollar figure attached.    Our target date was to post the app last week.  There were several impediments to this plan.  "Shortly" therefore seems to be the word that most defines our goals, without promising dates that we may simply be unable to meet. 

The iRFR cannot be used on Eos/Ion until 1.5 software is released (end of April).  "End of April"  is a slight variation on the weasel concept defined above - but the basic precepts are the same.  

As soon as a hard date is available, you all will hear it here first!

Hope that helps!

Anne, that post has just made me laugh very much! :-)

Surprisingly accurate too!

Been at this a long time :-)

I agree with John!  I think I have a french fry stuck somewhere in my nose!

We can always count on Anne for honesty!  :-)  But seriously, I am really looking forward to this, it was *real* cool when I saw it at USITT!

Thanks, Anne!

I love the candid stream of conscious nature.  You have eloquently put words to the thoughts that often go through my head while waiting for the latest software releases of any product; Lightwright 5 for example.

Have a good weekend!

P.S.  I didn't have a chance to check but is "Fan" working yet?

John, fan didn't make the cut in 1.5.  But, here's a little bit about "the plan."

After 1.5, we will release 1.6.  1.6. is largely to support Element.  We may or may not have an Eos/Ion release with it, depending on a number of factors.  We will release a patch to 1.6 supporting mirror mode for clients (as such, if you don't need mirror mode, there will be no need to update to that release).  After that, we will have a relatively fast turn around to 1.7, which provides a limited number of features that are small for us to do, but big for users.  Fan will be included in that release.

Hope that helps!
