- CueScript
- Feature The STATION command can now be used with the AT command to change the active page of a Station. For example, the command
STATION 1 AT PAGE 3changes Station 1’s active page to 3. - Feature A new PAGE command can now be used to change the station page for which subsequent commands operate. For example, the command
PAGE 5 BUTTON 1 ONturns on Button 1 on Page 5 of the current station. - Feature The LOCK and UNLOCK commands have been extended to work on pages that include PIN numbers. Locking a Page using a command such as
PAGE 3 LOCKde-authenticates users from viewing the page. Unlocking a Page using a command such asPAGE 3 UNLOCKauthenticates users to view the page. - Feature The LOCK and UNLOCK commands have been extended to work on stations with page layouts. Locking a Station using a command such as
STATION 1 LOCKcauses the page contents to become grayed out with a superimposed lock icon on top. No user interaction can occur on locked pages.

- Serial
- Bug Fixed an issue that could cause a crash if incoming serial is being processed as CueScript commands while replies are being sent back to the serial output, and the hardwired DMX output ports are in use.
