58 Version 1.6.2a.0 May 17, 2011
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."
