This section documents changes and enhancements to XStudio Voice Tracker by version number and date. For information on less-recent changes and enhancements, see the Revision History topic.
Version 1.3.0.115 - 02/20/2012
| 1. | Enhancement. A new option in Preferences allows users to disable Auto-Commit of newly-recorded voice tracks. When disabled, the user is prompted to commit or discard the voice track. If discarded, the recording is deleted and no file copying occurs, if enabled. |
| 2. | Enhancement. When a voice track recording is completed and committed, XStudio Voice Tracker now updates the corresponding log item's displayed length and the hourly totals display is updated. |
| 3. | Enhancement. Copying of audio files to the transfer directory is now retried several times before notifying the user the copy has failed. If another program has locked a voice track file that is to be replaced, multiple attempts to copy the file increase the chance of success as the file may be released by the other program while XStudio Voice Tracker is retrying the copy operation. |
| 4. | Enhancement. In addition to the main display audio engine connection LED changing to red when disconnected, a message dialog is now displayed when XStudio Voice Tracker is unexpectedly disconnected from the audio engine. The message appears when the disconnect is detected and every minute or so thereafter until reconnected. |
| 5. | Enhancement. If XStudio Voice Tracker is unexpectedly disconnected from the audio engine, XStudio Voice Tracker will now attempt to reconnect, including restarting the audio engine service if stopped, at approximately 1-minute intervals. If the audio engine is running in console mode, no restart attempt is made. |
| 6. | Enhancement. An updated version of the audio engine is included in this release. It includes stability enhancements and support for Windows 7. |

Audio Engine Prerequisites
Beginning with version 1.99.01.05, the audio engine and client dll require the Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86) be present on the host PC. To check whether or not it is installed, open Add/Remove Programs (or equivalent) in Control Panel. Look for the item "Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable - x86" followed by a version number. The XStudio Voice Tracker installation program checks for this package and if not present, will install it as part of the overall installation process.
|
| 7. | Enhancement. XStudio Voice Tracker is now aware of multiple monitor host systems and properly saves and restores its position on the correct monitor. |
| 8. | Enhancement. XStudio Voice Tracker now reports the host operating system in more detail and has been updated to reflect the release of Windows 7. |
| 9. | Change. A new installation program is now used that reduces the installer "footprint" and is simpler to use. When the new installation program is run and the previous XStudio Voice Tracker installer is detected, it is uninstalled (after user confirmation), removing files that are no longer needed. |
| 10. | Change. When closing XStudio Voice Tracker, users are now prompted to confirm they wish to close the program. |
| 11. | Fix. The main display could start up in a minimized state at program launch. |
| 12. | Fix. When multiple audio files were in an EOM state (between Aux Mark and end-of-file), the Aux LED was turning off prematurely when the first item's end-of-file was reached. |
| 13. | Fix. The bit rate for 44.1 PCM audio was displayed incorrectly in the cart edit dialog. |
| 14. | Fix. Corrected a problem with calculating the Length and Aux Mark values of large long-form PCM 44.1 stereo files. When the problem occurred, the length values would be displayed as negative numbers in the cart edit dialog. |
