RedRat Control - Change History

Version 2.31 - 14 June 2010
  • Supports sending very long IR signals through USB timeout configuration in the config file.
Version 2.30 - 1 June 2010
  • It now correctly supports using the RedRatHub on a remote computer.
Version 2.26 - 4 March 2010
  • Application would not start if computer had two network interfaces on the same network connected to an irNetBox. This has now been fixed.
  • Added better catch-all exception handling.
Version 2.25 - 10 Aug 2009
  • Built to work on x64 XP and Vista systems, running in 32-bit mode.
  • Fixed bug where application state was not always saved.
  • Supports the use of the RedRat Multiplexer, i.e. can use remote irNetBoxes and RedRat3s.
Version 2.23 - 16 Jan 2009
  • XMP decoder had stopped working in the previous version. This has now been fixed, with a couple of other improvements for XMP based usage.
  • Exception handling of errors returned by RedRat hardware has been improved.
  • An update to the macro editor allows editing of properties in all actions of a macro instead of having to edit the actions one by one.
Version 2.22 - 22 Sept 2008
  • Memory usage would grow very large in some situations due to repeated RedRat3 lookups. Now fixed.
  • Would hang when an irNetBox lookup was set as IP_ADDRESS, but it was not connected.
  • Some exceptions in background threads (WndProc and macro output) were not handled, so causing the application to terminate. These are now caught and sent to the log file.
  • Several minor improvements to core RedRat code.
Version 2.20 - 16 May 2008
  • Supports the RedRat3-II as well as older versions of the hardware.
Version 2.04 - 8 June 2007
  • Ported to .NET 2.0
  • Added support for USB irNetBox
  • Added support for Vista
  • Added option for SendMacro to block until output complete.
  • Miscellaneous minor bug fixes.
Version 1.18
  • Assembly version mismatch corrected.
  • Macros can now be output sequentially in addition to the default interleaved mode. Setting to sequential should act as a workaround to the situation where a channel change macro is sometimes called twice from SendMacro[W].exe.
Version 1.17
  • Fixed bug that prevented IR signal input recognition working.
Version 1.16
  • Supports newer irNetBoxes that use the "X2" version of the XPort.
Version 1.15
  • Can be configured to set a RedRat signal input parameter on startup.
Version 1.13
  • Supports several key modifiers for key presses, e.g. CTRL+ALT+P.
Version 1.12
  • Fixed minor bug in creation of log file. It was created even if logging was off.
  • Fixed occasional bug that caused an exception if IR input was disabled while the RR3 was outputting signals at a high rate.
Version 1.11
  • Added logging of "SendMacro" instructions and fixed bug in turning logging on/off.
  • Macro name lookup from SendMacro is no longer case sensitive.
  • Macros now support message boxes and beeps.
  • Supports output of flash code signals (needs RedRat3 firmware version 0.29 or greater).
Version 1.10
  • Fixed bug if foreground application set for mapping set on initial creation.
  • Fixed bug when renaming output groups - the old weren't deleted.
  • Added macro output action, e.g. for signal translation.
  • Added default mapping set option. Uses this when it can't find a mapping set for the current foreground application.
Version 1.9
  • Fixed concurrency problems when multiple macros output simultaneously.
Version 1.8
  • Supports control of ShowShifter.
  • Support for the irNetBox.
  • The macro editor has been added in for output of IR by other applications using SendMacro or SendMacroW
  • .
  • Hide on minimize option added.
Version 1.6
  • Added individual mapping set import/export.
  • Added mouse control by IR.
  • Added PC audio control by IR.
  • A couple of bug fixes.
Version 1.5
  • Fixed bug that prevented old mapping set being completely removed when a new mapping set file is loaded.
Version 1.4
  • Added option to enable IR input directly on program startup.
Version 1.3
  • First public release.
