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.
