Kosmos and Vocal Eliminator devices have been added.
New File menu commands have been added. Save Default Settings saves the current settings as the ones that are recalled on a restart, and Load Default Settings restores the current settings to the stored values.
An alert text control style has been added.
There are some new User Preferences to always save the current settings as the default when disconnection from a running system or the Emulator.
There is a new User Preference that determines if there is warning dialog box when closing the application while connected to a running system.
The Emulator now allows Kiosk to connect to it. This is helpful in testing exported Page Groups.
The Emulator now uses the Project User Account privilege settings to authenticate Network Control access.
If a role assignment partially succeeds and partially fails, the control connection is started to allow control of the units that succeeded.
The Project Link Client device now has a property that specifies the rate at which the server is polled.
ControlNodes now pay attention to the Project User Account privileges for Network Control Access, Control Settings Access and Exported Page Groups.
The find parent of selected control option in the Find dialog has been improved to automatically use a single selected control.
Unicast Mode on the Advanced CM-1 options display is now set to 1, by default. The old default, Never was problematic. Typing Never into this field will prevent the CM-1 from ever using unicast bundles, which is not recommended.
NION
A NioNode SNMP extension agent has been added. This allows SNMP monitoring of NioNode-specific information such as audio, project, and hardware status. This is an extension to the standard Linux (UCD) SNMP agent that is already supported. In the future, SNMP traps will be added, and a section will be added to support access to Project-based control values. The SNMP agent can be enabled in the Network page of the NioNode web interface. The SNMP agent community strings (passwords) are not currently accessible through the web interface, so if those need to be altered from the defaults, you must do so by editing the /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf file through Telnet. The default values for the community strings are 'public' for read access and 'private' for read/write access.
It is now possible to edit the CobraNet CM-1 netmask value through the front-panel interface. This value can also be edited through the NioNode web interface.
Remote Log access can now be controlled via NioNode User Privileges. Access is either read-only or read/clear.
NWare: Kiosk
The Kiosk GUI has some new command line options: /open=, /user= and /pass=
Bug Fixes
NWare
There was a bug, now fixed, that caused the PC-based software to not work correctly if at least one network adapter didn't have link, or if all the network adapters were disabled (or not detected) on the computer.
Hitting an initial backspace when editing block text now doesn't delete the last character ( works like MWare did )
The Serial Control COM port selection control has been fixed.
Python
Some bugs in exporting and importing Python scripts have been fixed.
NION
A bug that cause the NioNode to automatically unlock its front panel after one hour has been fixed.
There were some false alarm messages being logged about the fans stopping and recovering - this has been fixed.
Installer
The Upgrade functionality of the installer wasn't properly updating old NWare installations. It is now fixed.
The MediaMatrix NION Daemon service that was introduced in Beta 11 is no longer necessary, since NWare automatically loads the Discovery agent in the background when necessary (see Beta 12 NWare note 15). The Beta 12 installer was still trying to install the service even though it wasn't necessary, which was causing problems.
