 I hope the November 1st date happens.  I am waiting to seq. my Firefly, until the RGB color picker is in place.  I hope it will make much less time intensive.

   Actually, the RGB tool will be usable on any supported devices (the channel properties will show 3 device/channel options... one for red, one for green, and one for blue).  Yes, this means you can drive red, green, and blue "color wash" floodlights from an AC or DC controller and use the color picker to choose what color to throw at the house. 
 
   
   
  With Firefly the D/C options will automatically assume the 2nd and 3rd DC making it a bit easier to set up the channel (only have to set up the primary) and the sequence will compile to take advantage of the native mode commands so as to use less network bandwidth and to handle the new effects.

    Jeff, the color picker will be for FireFly controller channels once we can update Firefly to "Native" mode. (won't be used if running Firefly in the Legacy mode). The RGB (color picker) is just for Firefly, though perhaps in the future, there might be a way to "slave" three 16 channel LOR or D-Light controllers to make them behave like a Firefly.  |

    Will the color picker allow us to have multiple colors on one channel while designing sequences or is it just for Firefly.  |

   I know I know.... as LC said the bug list grew very rapidly beyond what was fixable in one week.
 
   
   
  Hang in there... while not all bugs will be fixed for the next version, the highest priority ones will.  In order of priority: 
1 - Bugs that prevent a show from running at all 
2 - Not a show stopper, but there isn't a workaraound either 
3 - Things with a workaround 
4 - Interface annoyances 
Exceptions: We are adding an RGB color picker and a "create controller" wizard while fixing the bugs. 
Now that we are in October things move a bit slower as every change to the code has to be reviewed very carefully to prevent completely destabilizing Aurora so close to the Christmas season.  We hope to have RGB, controller wizard, and bugs of type 1 & 2 above completely ready by November 1.   
At least I sure hope we do... I have a show to set up and lots of sequences to create as well!!!  I haven't started anything on my own display yet... which means I am way behind this year!

 That was posted BEFORE we started having as-then unknown issues. We have to put those fires out first before proceeding any further.  |

   I know where it takes you. Thats my point! He said, on the Sept 11, that the next version would be here on Sept 19. Now here we are almost a month later and.......
 
   
   
  No offence Michael. I understand the pains of software development. Maybe you should stop putting out release dates.
