QLC+ 4.10.4 is a bugfix release that aims to resolve a few issues and regressions reported by users during the last months. As usual though, this version brings also important news regarding specific areas: I have introduced a real pause state of QLC+ Functions. This state can be accessed from Virtual Console Cue Lists and from the Show Manager. A Cue List now has 2 separate buttons for playback: Play/Pause and Stop. When pausing, lights will stay on, and "frozen" exactly where they were, even during a fade in transition. This breaks backward compatibility with external control mapping, cause now you have to map 2 different controls, so you are strongly invited to review your project if you intend to use this version. On the other hand I hope the benefit is clear: this distinction gives maximum flexibility of control of a Cue List/Chaser playback, especially for theatre usage cases.
With the LED color feedback in mind, I finally implemented global custom feedbacks that can be defined just once in an input profile. They can always be overridden from every VC widget, like before.
Again, for flexibility, I decided to split MIDI beat clock start and stop events, so if you're using such feature, please double check your project.
Now a few deployment updates: Every Linux build now includes the OLA plugin, but OLA is not a hard dependency of the package. The plugin will be listed in the IO manager only if OLA is actually installed in the system.
Windows builds now include Qt 5.6.0 built by me, without ICU libraries. The final package size has been reduced by 700Kb.
Mac OSX bundles include Qt 5.6.0 as well, the vanilla version
The Raspberry Pi image has been ported to Debian Jessie ! This is a huge step forward and the boot time is lighting fast: 12 seconds on a Raspberry Pi 3 ! Notification emails will be sent later today.
