What's New in Version 6.0.8 (S6 Beta)
 

Sequencer

•Fixed issue where the Sequencer would not control lights if the sequence contained RGB channels.

•The Sequencer should now display correctly on hi-res displays.

 

Control Panel

•Fixes to the way the interactive portion of shows plays back in the Control Panel.

•The Control Panel's Network scan is now more forgiving and will pick up controllers which are not strictly HTTP compliant.

•The Control Panel's Player and Network log windows can now be minimized independently of the main application window.

 

SuperStar

•Fixed the single pixel talking face images so that the tree outline is green instead of red

•Fixed a bug that was introduced with the system fonts. If you used the palette to choose the main start color, it would set the main end color

•In the Talking Face dialog box, reversed the order of "Eyes Closed" and "Eyes Open"

•If don't choose any talking face elements, don't use "Default Image"

•In the talking face dialog box, always enable the "Clear" button for body, bow, eyes open, and eyes shut

•In the talking face dialog box, save the setting for body, bow, eyes open, and eyes shut

•In the talking face dialog box, have a broader range of default. Changed from 8-16 to 7-17

 

Hardware Utility

•In some cases, the Hardware Utility would not send a request to the Control Panel to release a comm port, even though it displayed a message that the request had been sent. This has been fixed.
