Release 1.5.3.A (November 16, 2009)

In NWare 1.5.3, if you selected several controls in your design that were of different types - a fader and a knob, for example, and then made a change to the properties, when you clicked OK, NWare closed unexpectedly.

Notes:

• This problem did not occur when changing the properties of controls of the same type.
• This problem did not occur in versions prior to 1.5.3.

Previously, when you shut down the NION from the front panel, an audible pop could be heard from speakers connected to NIO-8o and NIO-4x4 analog output cards installed in the unit.

Note: If the NION loses power unexpectedly, because a power cable has been suddenly removed, for example, a pop may still be heard.

Currently, non-administrator users cannot run NWare or Kiosk without additional steps being completed after the installation.

The administrator must change the permissions of the \program files\mediamatrix\nware <version>\plugins\nware\xml folder to allow write access for the non-administrator users. Once this has been done, NWare and Kiosk will operate normally.

For more information, see Allowing non-admin users to run NWare and Kiosk in the NWare User Guide.

• 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.

If you drag a device from the device tree over to the page, open the device block, and then press CTRL+Z to undo the operation, in the case of certain devices, NWare will close unexpectedly.

Note: This does not occur when adding all types of devices, but we recommend avoiding this exact sequence of steps as a precaution.

If you use the page locking feature, it is possible that NWare will not allow you to view the different pages in your project or add devices to the project. We have seen this problem occur in the following scenario:

1. A new NWare project is created.
2. A new page is added next to the default page and then it is locked (and automatically hidden).
3. The new page is shown again.
4. The first page is deleted.
5. The project is saved and then reloaded.

No page tabs are available, so different pages cannot be viewed or edited.

If you attempt to play audio files using the CHIMP option on the Wav File Recorder, no audio can be heard from the PC headphones. This problem does not occur under Windows XP – it is a Vista-only issue.

If you double-click an npa file to open it, the file is opened in NWare as expected, but a Command Prompt window is also displayed.
