Here are the latest changes, enhancements and corrections to XStudio by version number and date. For information on less-recent changes and enhancements, see the Revision History topic.

Version 3.0.0.210 - 03/23/2011

1.Enhancement. A 4th playback deck has been added. Deck 4 behaves in the same way as Decks 2 & 3. It can be hidden or shown, you can use the audio clipboard or log as a source, and it can be the be target of drag and drop operations or hot buttons. The keyboard shortcut [Ctrl-4] can be used to start play (see the topic on keyboard shortcuts) and you can optionally assign a remote start button (see Preferences and the topic on the Remote Start Interface).
2.Enhancement. The Automation Setup dialog's size, position and host monitor number (for multi-monitor systems) information is now saved on exit and the dialog's previous position, size and monitor location are restored the next time it is opened.
3.Fix. When playback decks 2 or 3 had more than one item playing and the 1st item finished, there was a momentary flicker on the deck.
4.Fix. When assigning audio channels to a playback deck in Preferences, the change was not effective unless the user moved off the selection list. Now, changes are reflected immediately.

Version 2.6.1.194 - 07/10/2010

1.Enhancement. A new pop-up hot buttons dialog has been added. Called Cart Wall, it provides access an unlimited number of 300-button "sets" that can be loaded on-demand. For additional information, see the topic Using the XStudio Cart Wall.
2.Enhancement. When configuring a hot button using drag-and-drop, if the cart number falls within any of the defined Cart Categories, the category colors are automatically applied.
3.Enhancement. The hot button configuration dialog now has added buttons for setting color combinations to the last-used combination or to the default color combination. A button to set the default background and text colors has also been added, along with some cosmetic improvements.
4.Enhancement. An item has been added in the Audio Properties area of XStudio Preferences to allow the user to select a default hot button playback deck from a list of available decks.
5.Change. Additional application logging has been added to better assist in troubleshooting, including logging of incomplete or unknown messages originated by the audio engine.
6.Fix. Evaluation of whether or not audio played successfully has been adjusted for purposes of audit reporting. This corrects a problem where items were showing up in audit reports as having not played to completed even though they were within milliseconds of the required length of play.
7.Fix. If a user dragged an item from the next-day (Tomorrow) log onto a hot button to program it, the wrong cart number was applied to the button's cart number property.
8.Fix. A situation where launching the hot button configuration dialog occasionally caused context help to appear has been corrected.
