QLC+ 4.7.1 release

[Massimo Callegari]

QLC+ version 4.7.1 doesn't aim to introduce new features, but to improve the stability and usability.

There are good news for OSX users though. 2 days ago Qt 4.8.6 has been released, which should give a better support for the problematic Maverick, so I decided to bundle it in this version. Also I have finally been able to fix the annoying bug on audio playback, leading to crashes and freezing behaviour.

This version as been compiled against OLA 0.9.0, so everyone using the OLA plugin is invited to update their version too.

Changelog:

• Monitor: fixed crash when loading a project with the monitor open
• Monitor: show channel's icon in DMX view mode
• Monitor: added 2D view Fixture item editor. Can set position, rotation and gel color
• Show Manager: fixed common speed mode for Sequence steps
• Show Manager: it is no more necessary to create a Scene to add audio tracks
• Show Manager: improved import of existing Functions
• Show Manager: highlight the clicked step
• Chaser Editor: Sequences in Function Manager can have Run Order and Direction
• Function Manager: fixed nested folders failure
• Scene Editor: fixed crash when a group used by a Scene has been removed
• Audio/OSX: fixed crash happening at the end of playback
• Audio/Linux: if the selected playback device is not present, fall back to the default device
• Webaccess: fixed Cue list play/stop sequence working only once
• Webaccess: fixed sliders movement on a touchscreen
• Plugins: Fixed ArtNet input universe indexing
• Plugins: fixed ArtNet and E1.31 open/close when the same line is connected to several universes
• Plugins: fixed ArtNet and E1.31 input association when the same line is connected to several universes
• Plugins: implemented SPI autodetection of multiple universe channels when no fixtures are defined
• Added fixture: Pro-Lights ARCLED7314HD (thanks to Tolmino)

Hello Massimo,

This version crash at startup on my system (Mac Os 10.7.5).

User profile is new and clean.

Crashlog Attached, hope it helps!

Hi Alessandro, it seems the same another user encountered
https://sourceforge.net/p/qlcplus/discussion/general/thread/0f387d38/?limit=25#32ca

Which version of OLA are you using ? Can you update to 0.9.0 as suggested ?

[Alessandro Grechi]

Upgrading to ola 0.9.0 with MacPorts seems solving the problem. No more crashes at startup.

Thanks

Alessandro, I am on the Mac as well and had the same issue. 4.7.0 would load fine, 4.7.1 crashes on startup.

I have no idea how to deal with OLA on the mac, and it looks like I have to install Xcode to get it??

[Alessandro Grechi]

Hi Drew,
to install OLA on Mac Os you need Xcode. Then simply install macports following http://www.macports.org/install.php and finally get ola with

"sudo port install ola"

For other install instructions, read http://www.openlighting.org/ola/mac-install/

Hi,

I don't know if it's the same issue for me, I just compiled this new version under ubuntu 13.10. It crash at start too.

I disabled compilation of OLA in plugins.pro file.

[EDIT] log attached

[Massimo Callegari]

Nicolas, you have to uninstall any previous version before installing a new one.
From your log I can clearly see that OLA is detected.

Possibly remove also the configuration file.

I have successfully buid the 4.7.1 release. No more crash, thanks.

I had some files form the older 4.6.1 version on my disk.
