Features:
This version contains a new Event/Trigger system including the ability to trigger Congo events by serial commands, and a number of small but significant enhancements and bug fixes. Notable enhancements include:
- At Mode: Channel selections may now be terminated by the "." key.
- Fade With Intensity Devices: These no longer require that a dummy DMX address be patched for the Fade With Intensity function to work.
- Fetch: Now fetches the state of devices in the main playback including tracked-in values, not just parameters recorded in the source preset.
- Cue Only recording: When recording a new preset, the advanced tab offers "Cue Only" recording, which will copy attribute values from the previous state into the preset following the new preset.
- GOTO: If you make a GOTO command during an ongoing crossfade, the GOTO will now fade from the current crossfade state to the new. Note: This will also affect how MSC Go commands are handled.
