Light-O-Rama version 4.0.20 released as an open beta

[bob]

We have just released version 4.0.20 of the Light-O-Rama software suite as an open beta.

 

This is mostly the same as version 4.0.18 that we briefly released then recalled yesterday due to a bug in running the Hardware Utility.  The only difference from 4.0.18 is that it fixes that bug.

 

This version is built on top of the earlier S4 betas.  If you have not yet read the release announcements for them, please take the time to do so now (especially the release announcement for version 4.0.0, which contains several important pieces of information):

• Release announcement for 4.0.0
• Release announcement for 4.0.2
• Release announcement for 4.0.4
• Release announcement for 4.0.6
• Release announcement for 4.0.8
• Release announcement for 4.0.10
• Release announcement for 4.0.12
• Release announcement for 4.0.14
• Release announcement for 4.0.16
