Version 5.0.7
Version 5.0.7 is a maintenance release for all CueServer models with 60+ bug fixes and improvements. It is a recommended update for all v5.0.0 thru v5.0.6 users.
- Stage View
- Bug The Effect Filter drop-down menu now properly displays the names of the groups in the list.
- Bug Fixed the size of playback icons shown in the drop-down menu on Windows only.
- Bug An appropriate error message is now displayed if no show is active.
- Bug Addressed an issue that caused the Fader Wheel to adjust all fixture channels instead of only selected channels when clicked.
- Bug Improved Fader Wheel scaling factor for 16-bit channels.
- Layout Engine
- New Added new Page Navigation control.
- New Added an option to Buttons that provides a way for users to change the Button’s Label directly from touchscreens/web pages.
- New Added an “OR” operator (using double-bars, like
||) to Button Labels that automatically changes the label of the button based on the indicator state. For example a Label with the contents of “Turn Off||Turn On” will automatically toggle between the two labels based on the indicator state. - New Links to objects that are specified by variables are now automatically promoted to
${variable}syntax and colorized. - New Slider objects can now optionally target a Fixture’s attributes directly using the link field.
- New When specifying links to buttons, the field can now prompt the user if the target station has pages or not and visually warn if the target exists or not.
- New Added Opacity property to controls, which has an additional use of being able to hide controls during runtime when combined with variables.
- New If the color field of an object contains a variable, and the color picker is used to change the color, the variable is updated with the new color.
- New An object targeting a fixture property can now specify a specific instance of that property if the fixture has multiple instances of that property (such as a multi-pixel fixture).
- New Buttons can now individually have a PIN number assigned to prevent unauthorized access to the Button’s function.
- New Using drag-and-drop to place an image on a layout now automatically creates an Image object.
- New Variables in fields can now specify default values using
${{{variable|default}}}syntax. - Bug Fixed a problem with flashing indicators that would not show the proper “off color” while flashing.
- Bug Addressed an issue that was preventing SVG images to be used with Image objects.
- Bug Repaired the DIO-588 hardware simulator layout.
- Bug Addressed an issue with resizing Image Buttons to very small sizes would break the button’s aspect ratio.
- Bug Fixed a problem that could cause the alignment tools to stop functioning.
- Bug Addressed an issue that could cause a crash of a Button’s label consists of only numerical digits.
- Bug Fixed an issue with variables being used as an Image object’s width/height properties.
- Bug Repaired the ability to use variables with the targets of Links.
- Bug Improved the behavior of switching shows while the Layout Editor is active.
- Bug Addressed an issue that caused a page in the Layout Editor to change to Edited state even though no changes were made.
- Bug Improve show switching behavior while web stations are visible.
- Bug Fixed an issue that would occur while typing a new value into an image object’s aspect ratio field.
- Bug The Image object no longer “wiggles” when manually drag-resizing.
- CueScript
- Bug Fixed a parsing problem that prevented 3+ sequential string concatenations from being handled properly, such as
"A" + "B" + "C". - Bug Fixed a problem with the parser that wouldn’t recognize a variable substitution immediately after a numeric base specifier, such as
CHANNEL 1 AT #`x`. - Bug Addressed an issue that caused loops involving macros calling other macros after
WAITcommands to add a phantom space character after each iteration of the command. - Bug Repaired a problem with commands not responding to inherited targeted station context.
- Bug Fixed a problem with the
PROPERTYcommand not always addressing the nth property of a fixture when the fixture contains 16-bit channels. - Bug Fixed
LOCK,UNLOCK,ENABLE, andDISABLEto work properly on Shared Control objects. - Bug Using the Up/Down arrows in the CueScript console now properly skips blank lines.
- Bug Fixed a parsing problem that prevented 3+ sequential string concatenations from being handled properly, such as
- Rules
- New Added a new Mimic function for triggers that provides automatic indicator state, but doesn’t have any of its own interactive behavior. This provides an opportunity for the programmer to benefit from automatic indicator updates while optionally providing interactive logic using a Trigger’s Additional Rules.
- Bug Addressed a problem where rules attached to a particular object weren’t inheriting the same default playback fader as the parent object.
- Bug Fix an issue that would cause conditionals to fail on Shared Controls if the “And This Control” clause was used.
- Bug If a Rule has an AND clause that is blank, this clause is now ignored instead of always causing the Rule’s conditions to fail.
- Effects Engine
- Bug The Hue Rotate effect now properly handles fixtures with 16-bit color channels.
- Bug Fixed an issue with Twinkle and Sparkle effects that could cause non-color channels to be affected by the running effect.
- Fade Engine
- Bug Improved the behavior of non-Merge mode playbacks to behave logically with LTP channels.
- Bug Fixed hardwired DMX Output streams that are set to output at less than 40Hz update rate on CueServer 3 hardware to adhere to the requested update rate.
- DMX Settings
- Bug Addressed a crash that could occur if changes are made to the Universe Patch and then the user switches to the Fixture Patch window without first saving changes.
- Fixture Patch Editor
- Bug Fixed a potential crash if the user clicks in the white space below the list of available fixtures.
- Plugins
- New Updated the OSC Plugin to version 1.0.4.
- Bug Fixed a regression where instances of a plugin that are modified by the user may disappear from view.
- Show Database
- Bug Improved behavior of starting a CueServer 3 without an SD Card inserted.
- Bug Improved SD Card hot-swapping capability on CueServer 3.
- Bug When no show is loaded, the embedded web server now displays an appropriate web page.
- Variables
- Bug Astronomical clock system variables are now resolved earlier in the system startup sequence on CueServer 3 to allow them to be used as part of System Power-On and Show Loaded global rules during startup.
- System Log
- New Added the option to turn on logging for Trigger Functions.
- Bug Improved debug messages for Cue Execution in the Live Playback.
- Serial Ports
- Bug Fixed a problem that could cause the built-in RS-232 port to be unreliable specifically on the CS-3150 model.
