[Repeater-Builder] Re: DSP404 beta 5.18 released

2010-08-05 Thread Steve
Good detective work, Stan and Tim!  Yes, V5.18 exists and is ready for testing. 
 I was doing a bit more testing and finishing the documentation (at the link 
you found, quoted below) before I officially released it for testing.  It looks 
you you have already tried it out, so we are ahead of the game :)

Actually, we usually release in several stages:  internal test, to customers 
with special test cases, alpha, beta and general release.  We have finished the 
first two and I just posted a release message to the alpha-testers list at 
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/RLC-DSP404-alpha-testers/.  If you want to get 
in on early testing of new versions (which are likely to have bugs), feel free 
to sign up there.  That is also the best place to discuss problems with alpha 
software.

If alpha testing goes well, we then announce a beta release on the main DSP404 
discussion list at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/RLC-DSP404/.  That list has 
a lot more members and we try to keep the traffic low and relevant (it is 
moderated).  If beta testing goes well, we do a general release, which triggers 
an automatic update offer in RCI (the Windows management software).

 It looks like a kernel update and some  cleanup. The notes  are buried in
 the Wiki. I posted to the DSP reflector but it appears that the post are
 moderated as it has not shown up. Alan, Steve, or Matt will probably let us
 know next week.

 Those of you that are running the Link DSP404 a Beta release is out version
 5.18. I have loaded it on my controller and so far so good. The fist bug is
 in the comm. Set up.. I am running Vista business on a laptop with a real
 serial port and it does not show or allow the com port to be selected,
 however it still works on com 1. The first time I selected T on the left
 side I received a memory error but have not been able to reproduce it. I
 also have seen some stuttering in the audio between the controller and the
 laptop I am using on the local network. The controller is connected directly
 to the wireless router and I am connecting wirelessly with the laptop. So
 there may be more issues around or just my setup.
