Features

Windows Vista is now supported.
Renamed the X-Control 4s to X-Control 4S Switch Mode.
Moved the snapshot device to the Presets group.
Renamed device "Panel Block" to GUI Block".
Moved the Room Combiner Device to the Processors group.
Added Accelerator hints to the right-click menu.
The page display can now be panned using spacebar+drag. You can also use middle mouse button+drag to pan the display, as in previous versions.
New drag mode displays objects when they are dragged, rather than just their outlines. You can switch this mode on and off using the Outline Drag option via Tools / User Preferences.
Ctrl+click and drag of devices now requires a longer drag distance to prevent accidental duplication during multiple selection.
While in wiring mode, you can now use the shift+arrow keys to move blocks.
Renamed the File/Properties menu item to "Project Properties".
Added a brief description of how to assign roles to the deploy dialog.
Modified the Upload and Connect dialog boxes to improve clarity.
Added pre-built logic devices, such as "OR" and "XOR". These are smaller than the ones created by default with the Control Operator device.
Added more pre-built meters.
Added a new HFO, high frequency oscillator. This oscillator has a range from 16k to 48k.
Note: You still cannot exceed 1/2 the sampling frequency.
The high pass filter on the Automatic Mixers now defaults to 80hz. Also, you can now easily adjust this.
A new help file has been added. This is still very incomplete and is work in progress.
You can now use the Expression Label feature to automatically generate control Aliases.
Major changes have been made to the Device Menu. Changes include more pre-built devices, better category names, etc.
Mono Wave recorders have returned.
Kiosk enhancements have been made, including the optional hiding of the tabs and elimination of the red selection being drawn around controls.
The USA daylight saving time changes are now supported.
Minor installer improvements.
Improved cab polling to reduce network load.
Items on the Tools menu have been moved to a submenu called "Control Nodes" to improve the clarity of the user interface.
Added new accelerator keys. For more information, see Keyboard accelerators in the NWare User Guide.

Bug fixes

Fixed a problem with the CAB 8i, selecting 3dB now really gives you 3dB.
Subchannel mapping for CAB's now works.
Fixed the expression label toolbar button.
Fixed the missing control nodes on the Control Block devices.
Fixed the copying of settings on first run.
In previous releases, the NION CobraNet bundle priority setting was ignored. This has been fixed.
The missing Kosmos device bitmap has been added back.
We no longer highlight in orange the signal processing resources that are close to full in the compile results report. Orange highlighting incorrectly implied a warning.
The duplicate rows in the CAB 8o device have been removed.

Known issues

To uninstall NWare under Windows Vista or Windows 7, you must navigate to the NWare shortcut in the Start menu, click the shortcut, and then click Uninstall NWare <version>.
Note: It is currently not possible to uninstall NWare via Windows Control Panel, even if you are logged on as Administrator.
The undo feature does not behave as expected after a drag and drop operation in NWare.
If the Outline Drag option is switched off (via Tools/User Preferences), and you drag and drop an object on the page, when you undo the operation, the object is not returned to its original position - it is moved a step backwards towards its original position. You must select the undo option multiple times in order to return the object to its original position.
After installation, NWare operates in Outline Drag mode, but the Outline Drag check box (available via Tools/User Preferences) does not show as selected.
If you select the check box, NWare will remain in Outline Drag mode. If you then subsequently clear the check box, NWare will switch to full graphics drag mode.
