V1.9.5 (impatient me)

Hey Mart.   1.9.5 is turning out to be a pretty massive release for us.    We've been in select beta for about 2-1/2 months with it.  The current plan is to go into open beta at the beginning of December and release by the end of the year.    Some of the features in 1.9.5 (which a reasonably sane marketer would probably have called 2.0) are:

Virtual Media Server (this is a feature sometimes referred to as pixel bit mapping)

A new condition for submasters called shield.   The contents of a shielded submaster are automatically made exclusive, and cannot be controlled in any manner other than the sub, including manual selection.

GM Exempt Channels.  The intensity of channels set to GM Exempt are not impacted by Grand Master, Blackout, Rem Dim or Go to Cue 0.

PSD option to allow timing elements in the cue list to count down.  Holding Time toggles to a static display. When the PSD is left static, holding Time toggles to a dynamic countdown display.

A channel level indicator has been added when a channel is patched as a non-dim.

Flash on/flash off using Highlight + Full and Highlight + Out

Use of the color and gel picker on "non-standard" LED fixtures (RGBA, RGBW, etc)

Dual set of direct selects when opened on a tab.  Century and millennium buttons when in expand mode.

Flexi-Encoder state (suppresses parameters not applicable for current channel selection).

Channel/Address check mode for the RFR.

Changes to the handling of dual scroller fixtures.

Delay effects in cues.

Cue release to last active source.

Macro flag to force macros to run in the foreground (on the command line) or background, regardless of how the macro is triggered.   By default, manually activated macros post to the command line, macros executed in other ways to not.  This setting can override the default behavior.

The return of Time / for setting downfade times.

A new condition for cue playbacks called "Manual Master."  When set to this mode, cues can be triggered manually without the need to hit the go button.  Cues are trigged from either direction, so there is no need to home the fader to zero before triggering the next cue.  Timed cues can still be run.

Changes to update thru and the addition of update +.

Yet more changes to mark, including automarks being displayed in blind, just as they would in live, and respecting marks when possible on cues loaded out of sequence.

[Enable] and [Disable] flags added to any macro changing a setup option (rather than just acting as a toggle state.

Addition to the .pdf printout.

Setup tools for changing the resolution of trackballs, and also dimming the little lites.

Encoders always disabled in blind until a paging button is pressed.

Snap facility added to specified parameters.  

Expansion of the Serial I/O functionality.
