Release 1.2.5 (September 25, 2006)

Features

• Now supports NION nX via the new NioNode NX device. Only two card slots are available. XDAB usage is disallowed and will be shown by a compiler error if XDAB is connected to the NX role.
• All CAB devices now offer an Advanced SubChannel Mapping feature (in the Advanced Properties dialog).  This allows Advanced CM-1-style bundle assignment of audio channels. 4 bundle transmitters and 8 bundle receivers are available in this mode.
• Many improvements have been made to all ControlMatrix devices. No ControlMatrix devices provide input and output wiring nodes. Instead, NWare automatically creates input, output and XDAB Flyoffs that begin with CM..., which can easily be connected directly to I/O or to additional processing. This saves time and complication in setting up medium to large ControlMatrix projects.
• The new ControlMatrix devices have been renamed to prevent conflicts when adding older ControlMatrix devices. You can either load your 1.2.4 project into this version and replace all the ControlMatrix devices with new versions and use the new Flyoff method-- Or, you can continue to use your existing devices.
• To continue using your old ControlMatrix devices, you will need to copy specific files from your 1.2.4 installation into your 1.2.5 installation folder. Here is a list of files that need to be copied. Copy these files from the \plugins\nware\devices\composite\ folder of 1.2.4 to the same subfolder of the new installation:

  cm_local.if.xml

  cm_local.pres.xml

  cmbigzone.if.xml

  cmbigzone.pres.xml

  cmbigzones.if.xml

  cmbigzones.pres.xml

  Note: that the relative paths within each NWare folder are the same.

  After copying these files, you must restart NWare for the program to recognize their existence.

  You will still be able to update the properties and make copies of the devices, but they will not appear in the devices list.  It is advisable to simply open the properties and click OK of the following devices (so the updates to those devices can be applied:

  Inputs (Blue blocks)

  Logic (Red blocks)

• The NWare installer now offers to back up the existing installation if a prior version is detected.  This allows you to go back to previous versions in case it is needed or if you have to work with files from multiple versions.  If you don't want to create this backup, click "No."
