Hey, we are a bit behind on posting about this update, but here it is none the less. We've just released Lightforge v0.3.4.0. As you see, we've skipped a couple version numbers since our last release. This is because we've been pushing out smaller incremental builds to a large show using Lightforge to allow us to keep up with the changes and fixes they need without sacrificing stability for everyone else, and forcing everyone else to update several times a day. This build should bring everyone up to date. With this release comes a good bit of performance improvements, as well as palette rearranging, and numerous bug fixes.
New Features:
Palettes can now be grouped and rearranged.
Adding nested cues now prompts you to confirm. This action can be disabled in preferences.
Audio waveform data files are now included in save bundled data.
Submaster methods added to api.
Cue creation methods added to api.
Multiple other api changes.
There is now an option to Simplify Interface in Settings->Preferences. This disables some interface smoothing but can help greatly with frame rates on slower computers or very large shows.
Groups panel draws faster.
DMX Panel draws faster.
Overall interface speed improvements.
Tracking information for all cuelists is now built on show load.
Transitions between cuelists are now smoother.
ESP net protocol implemented. (Output temporarily disabled)
Bug Fixes:
Saving bundled show data now functions properly again.
Effect timeline no longer inadvertently blocks mouse input on effect settings.
Nested cues now load properly.
Color picker no longer throws errors in some configurations.
Step effects no longer throw errors in some configurations.
Audio from one timeline should no longer continue playing on the next timeline.
BPM now stores properly in multi-cuelist shows.
Midi Timecode Syncing now properly responds to bpm changes.
Tracking is properly rebuilt on pasting cues.
There are no longer odd flashes when updating or adding cues.
Removing groups from cues no longer creates odd flashes.
Slashes in filenames no longer inadvertently create new folders.
Go to time markers function properly in Beats mode now.
Parent cues now copy child cues with them.
Fixed issue where markers in a certain configuration would crash shows.
Nested cues now load properly.
Showlist order now loaded properly when you load a new cuelist.
Selected cues are no longer shown from previous cuelists when adding a new cuelist.
Audio scrubbing and seeking should be more reliable.
