A bug that could cause a crash when connecting to a remote workspace which has a Blackmagic device.
A bug that could cause a crash when auditioning while an effect editor for an Audio Cue is open.
A bug that would cause videos sent to NDI outputs to run very fast if no NDI client was connected.
A bug that would cause QLab to crash when changing the audio output to NDI while the cue was running.
A bug that would cause NDI audio to fail if the first cue sending to that NDI output used a different audio output.
Disconnecting during collaboration will no longer cause the primary workspace to stop.
The fade-and-stop trigger option will now properly prevent Group cues from continuing on to a subsequent cue if they should have been stopped.
When triggering cues from timecode, the pre-wait of a cue will now be included when calculating if a given cue should be running at the given timecode.
Light subcontrollers that have been assigned MIDI triggers will no longer lose their trigger when re-opening a workspace.
Changing the “lock playhead to selection” option when collaborating should no longer lead to potential infinite loops where different machines disagree about what the playhead should be.

Added:
A larger, flexible audio matrix. QLab now supports up to 128 cue outputs and 128 device outputs. You can now define exactly how many cue outputs each audio output patch uses, between 1 and 128. Patches which use fewer cue outputs will use less processing power.
Improved audio playback performance.
The Shutter video effect now supports both feathering and elliptical shutters.
New video effect: drop shadow.
The Workspace Status window has a new tab, Video Metrics, which displays live frame rate and render time information for each video stage and video output.
Show control broadcast. QLab can now optionally send show control messages via OSC and MSC which correspond to basic show events such as GO, panic, reset, and cues starting and stopping. OSC messages can be requested by a client using the new /listen OSC message which has options for specifying the scope of interest. MSC messages can be sent using MIDI patches.
The waveform view in the Time & Loops tab of the inspector can now optionally display a specific channel of audio, rather than the sum of all channels. You can adjust which channel is displayed by using the contextual menu (right-click or option-click) in the waveform view.
The Hardware tab in QLab Preferences now displays more information about audio devices.
Cues playing to NDI video outputs can now use non-NDI audio outputs.
You now have an option to disable edge blending on video grids.

Network cues set to 1D fade and MIDI cues set to fade can now use the linear fade curve type.
Network device descriptions for Dan Murfin ShowPlay, DiGiCo SD series consoles, Lightkey 4, VISCA-over-IP camera control, and Yamaha DM3.
QLab will now display a warning message if a workspace open cue or close cue has been set, but that cue does not exist.
The Timecode Status window now includes resizable, pop-out windows to display incoming and outgoing timecode streams.
Paste Cue Properties and batch edit support for Network cues set to 1D fade have been expanded.

Light Dashboard can now be used in full screen mode.
The currently-playing cue in a Playlist group no longer restarts when a playlist with second trigger action do nothing is re-triggered.
Adding a Load cue to a workspace will now auto-populate that cue with the load time of the selected cue, if any.
Improved error logging of invalid OSC queries.
Fixed:
Audio discontinuities when editing audio levels or trim on a running cue.
Audio files with incorrect file extensions can now be opened for playback in more cases.
A bug that could cause Audio cues to show a length of 0 if the cue's file target is replaced while QLab was not running.
Clicking around the audio waveform view of a cue that is playing to the audition audio patch no longer changes output back to the non-audition patch.
The audio waveform view did not update when the currently selected track changed in a Video cue with multiple audio tracks.

Outgoing OSC /update and /reply messages now correctly respect the network output override.
OSC clients will no longer continue to receive /update messages if the passcode they used to connect to QLab has its View permission removed.
OSC /rate once again supports +/- relative setter syntax.
After fixing a broken cue, the list, cart, and/or Group which contains that cue will now immediately refresh its own status.

New in QLab 5.2.4 (Oct 6, 2023)

New in QLab 5.2.3 (Sep 6, 2023)

Added:
Patch cueing. Fade cues and Reset cues can now target audio output patch routing, allowing you to adjust the overall levels of the entire patch, and easily reset those levels to their initial state.
Extended cue colors. The number of cue colors has been expanded to make it easier to color-code a large variety of cues, and to better support the needs of people with color vision deficiency. The cue color control in the Basics tab has been redesigned to support this larger number of colors, and you can now set both a cue color and an optional second cue color. If enabled, the cue changes to the second cue color after it’s started.
Multi-destination Network patches. Each Network patch can now have an arbitrary number of destinations. This allows a Network cue to send a single message to multiple different network devices. Each destination can have a unique combination of network transport, interface, IP address, port, and/or passcode values.
Audio input names. You can now name inputs (rows) in the Levels tab of the inspector for any cue that contains audio. Input names are per-cue, and can be edited in the inspector, by AppleScript, and by OSC.
QLab can now optionally delete old backups of your workspace in order to keep from using too much disk space. This option keeps the 20 most recent backups from the last hour, the latest backup per hour from the last day, and the latest backup per day beyond that.
Region names and the selected control point are now included in the grid display to assist with warping and focusing.
Video, Camera, and Text cues in “Fill Stage” mode can now be set to one of three fill styles: fit to the stage, fill the stage, or stretch to fill the stage.
The Active Cues display can now optionally be set to display the most recently started cue first, rather than last.
You can now use arrow keys to move and resize video regions. A new “?” help button in the video stage editor makes it easier to keep track of available keyboard shortcuts and modifiers.
You can now drag to re-order video stages and video routes.
For all OSC commands that set a boolean value, you can now use the string argument “toggle” or append “/toggle” to the address to toggle the current value.
Workspace MIDI and OSC controls have been added to move the playhead to the next and previous cue sequence.
Audio output patch OSC commands /level, /reset, /routing, and /routing/reset.
Group cue OSC commands /collapse and /expand.
Cues that output audio can use /audioOutputPatch/... to send OSC messages to their currently selected audio output patch.
The Light Dashboard OSC command to set light values, /dashboard/setLight, now has a “live” variation, which allows you to modify light values without editing the dashboard, and thus also avoiding the undo stack.
A network device definition for Reaper (using the default OSC mapping.)
Instrument definitions for the American DJ COB Cannon LP200ST, Eliminator Stinger Spot 30, Eliminator Stryker Beam, Eliminator Stryker Wash, Encore FR Pro Color, Encore FR50Z, Encore FR 150Z, Encore LP5IP, Encore LP7IP, Encore LP12IP, Encore LP18IP, Encore Profile 1000 Color, Encore Profile 1000 WW, Encore Profile Pro Color, Encore Profile Mini Color, Encore Profile Pro WW, Encore Profile Mini WW, Encore Z7LP, Focus Flex, Focus Flex L7, Focus Hybrid, Focus Profile, Focus Wash 400, Hydro Beam X12, Hydro Profile, Hydro Spot 1, and Hydro Spot 2.

Instrument definitions for the ETC ColorSource Fresnel V, Desire Fresnel, and Source 4WRD Color II.
Instrument definitions for the German Light Products Impression X5 and Impression X5 Compact.
Instrument definitions for the Robe Footsie 1 WW, Footsie 1 TW, Footsie 1 RGBW, Footsie 2 WW, Footsie 2 TW, Footsie 2 RGBW, iBar 15, iBeam 350, iForte, iPainte, iSpiider, iTetra 2, Painte, T11 Profile, T11 PC, T11 Fresnel, and TX1 PosiProfile.
Changed:
Instead of keeping one autosave copy that is periodically updated, QLab creates timestamped backup copies so that you can easily see a version of your workspace from a specific point in time.
Instead of having separate “autosave” and “snapshot” files, all backup copies of your workspace are now simply called “backup” copies.
The audition tab of the light dashboard is now more visually distinct.
Timecode cues now have a default duration.
Entering show mode now clears the find results.
The MIDI File cue has received some visual improvements.
Media logging now logs timestamps down to the second, rather than just minute. It also includes Video cues which target still images.
The waveform view in the Time & Loops tab of the inspector now supports trackpad pinch gestures for zooming in and out. To zoom using the vertical scroll gesture on a trackpad, hold the ⌥ (option) key while scrolling. Zooming with the scroll wheel on a mouse or trackball has not been changed.
Fixed:
Batch editing very large numbers of cue properties is now much faster.
Updating the warping of a video region from a collaborator machine will no longer flicker as you drag the region.
A bug affecting how audio effects on Cue Outputs are loaded that could cause errors with some plugins when opening a workspace.
A bug that caused a still-image Video cue in a crossfading Playlist group to flash briefly when the next cue started fading in.
Cues whose second trigger action is set to “second trigger on release” will now respond to a MIDI Note Off message at any velocity.
Several fixes to Network cue OSC /fadeEntries and AppleScript "fade entries".
Using AppleScript to collapse / expand cue lists and carts now works in the workspace window Lists / Carts pane.
A bug in the Chamsys MagicQ network device description that caused Playback "10" to output as "20".

Added:
Media logging. QLab can now optionally create a csv-formatted log of all audio and video file playback in a workspace, using information from QLab and metadata in the target media files. This is primarily intended to make it easy to create reports for rights-holding organizations, like ASCAP or BMI, but could be useful for other purposes too. This feature can be enabled in the QLab application preferences.
HSI color picker for light instruments. Light instruments with hue, saturation, and intensity (or hue, saturation, and value) parameters can now use a graphical HSI color picker in the Light Dashboard and in the Levels tab of the inspector.
New options to control how QLab behaves when it starts receiving a new timecode stream. Options include: do not start cues whose timecode triggers precede the incoming timecode (similar to QLab 4), start cues whose timecode triggers are within the most recent minute of the incoming timecode, start cues whose timecode triggers are within the most recent hour of the incoming timecode, start cues whose timecode triggers are within a user-defined “lookback” window of time, or start all cues whose timecode triggers precede the incoming timecode.

New in QLab 4.5.4 (Nov 20, 2019)

New in QLab 4.5.3 (Oct 30, 2019)

New in QLab 4.5.2 (Sep 26, 2019)

New in QLab 4.5.1 (Sep 19, 2019)

New in QLab 4.5 (Sep 10, 2019)

Light Submasters:
Any Light cue can now be used as a submaster in the Light Dashboard. When a light cue appears as a submaster, it will appear with a scaling factor between 0 and 100. You can adjust this up or down to scale all the lights in the cue relative to that factor. The values set by submasters are treated in a “highest value takes precedence” manner with respect to Light cues. Thus, any lights brought up by submasters will be at least at the level specified by the submaster. They can not be faded to a lower value by Light cues until the submaster is brought down.
Virtual Parameters, Color Pickers, and Pan/Tilt controls:
You can now create “virtual” parameters out of an instrument’s raw parameters, which allow you to use a single control to modify several parameters at once. For example, if you have an RGB light you can create a virtual color parameter which combines the raw red, green, and blue parameters into a single “color” parameter.
Virtual parameters appear as custom controls on the right side of the light dashboard and the light cue levels tab of the inspector.
We have updated the instrument definitions shipped with QLab to include these new virtual parameters, but if you open an old workspace you will need to manually update the instrument definitions in the workspace to access the new controls.
Scaled Light Pulls:
Previously, a light command like “all = cue 10” would set exactly the values specified by light cue 10. Now, you can scale the values of cue 10 between 0 and 1 when they are pulled into another light cue.
We’ve also made some improvements to QLab’s OSC library:
ADDED: /workspace/{id}/go/{cue_number} and /workspace/{id}/go {cue_number} which allow setting the playhead to the specified cue and then triggering a GO on that cue in the same action.
ADDED: /cue/{cue_number}/setDefaultLevels, /cue/{cue_number}/setSilentLevels, and /cue/{cue_number}/setLevelsFromTarget which replicate the behavior of the "Set Default Levels" and "Set All Levels Silent" buttons in the Audio Levels tab of the inspector for Audio, Video, and Mic cues and the "Set from Target" and "Set All Silent" buttons for Fade cues.
ADDED: /cue/{cue_number}/setGeometryFromTarget which replicates the behavior of the "Set Geometry from Target" button in the Geometry tab of the Fade cue inspector.
Various other improvements include:
ADDED: Support for dragging multiple cues simultaneously within a cart.
ADDED: Support for creating multiple cues at once in a cart by dragging in files or a folder from the Finder.
ADDED: Inspector windows can now be floated above other windows.
ADDED: Support for batch editing Network cues.
ADDED: Support for background color formatting for Text cues.
ADDED: Text cue OSC and AppleScript hooks for setting background color, strikethrough color & style, and underline color & style.
ADDED: The Light Patch now has an “Output” column to show which USB device or Art-Net settings are in use by each instrument.
CHANGED: All light definitions which include pan and tilt now use 50% (center) as the home values for those parameters.
CHANGED: The popped-out inspector panel can now be duplicated into a secondary cue inspector.
CHANGED: The audition window’s “Keep window on top” option has been renamed to “Float”.
CHANGED: The audio level output fields will now constrain the displayed output level to the maximum value allowed by the workspace audio settings.
CHANGED: The Rate field in the Time & Loops tab of the Audio and Video inspectors, and the Audio Effects tab of the Fade inspector, now sets the the cue’s rate to 1.0 when using option-click.
CHANGED: When importing .gobutton and .gobundle files, cues that can be imported as just Audio or Wait cues are no longer nested inside Group cues.
CHANGED: Light cue OSC method /cue/{cue_number}/removeLightCommandsMatching {string} now requires a match on the full text of the light command string. Previously, {string} only needed to match the instrument or group name to remove a command. This change also fixes a bug which caused QLab Remote to be unable to delete certain light commands from the Light cue inspector when connected to QLab 4.4.x.
CHANGED: AppleScript command "removeLightCommandsMatching" removes the parameter "selector" and replaces it with a new parameter "command". Like the OSC method of the same name, this command now performs matches on the full text of the light command rather than just the instrument or group name. In the Text cue inspector, you can now option-click on the font, text color, or background color panel toggle buttons to reset that attribute to the default format.
We’ve added a few new lighting instrument definitions, with more on the way:
ADDED: Altman AP-150 RGBW LED Par.
ADDED: Chauvet COLORado Solo Batten, COLORado Solo Batten 4, Maverick MK3 Profile, and Maverick MK3 Spot.
ADDED: CLF Apollo, Orion, and Spectrum P2.
ADDED: ETC Relevé.
ADDED: GLP Highlander and Impression E350.
And of course we’ve squished a number of bugs:
FIXED: A bug introduced in 4.4.0 when pasting multiple cues into a cue cart that could cause the new cues to be placed non-sequentially.
FIXED: Integrated fades that are not locked to the start/end of Audio and Video cues are now displayed correctly in the Timeline tab.
FIXED: You can now use the same Syphon source in multiple Camera cues.
FIXED: Several issues when batch editing Wall Clock triggers in the "Triggers" inspector tab.
FIXED: Batch editing the Camera cue "patch" value in the "Display & Geometry" inspector tab now updates all selected cues.
FIXED: Scrubbing a still image Video cue with a duration in the active cues panel will now work.
FIXED: Attempting to set an invalid cue color name via AppleScript or OSC no longer sets the cue color to grey.
FIXED: A bug that could prevent update messages from being sent to QLab Remote after changes are made to the Light Dashboard in QLab.
FIXED: Paste Cue Properties now properly clears out previous gang entries.
FIXED: Fade Cue Templates now show tabs for Video Geometry and Video Effects.
FIXED: Broadcast mode has been enabled for outgoing UDP messages.
FIXED: Strikethrough formatting for Text cues is now visible during playback.
FIXED: Text cue now uses the Text cue template to derive default font attributes.
FIXED: Text cue font properties are no longer reset to the default format after using OSC or AppleScript to set the "live text" of that cue to an empty string.
FIXED: The Fade cue inspector now shows the proper tabs when setting its target to a Video, Text, or Camera cue.

New in QLab 4.4.5 (Apr 18, 2019)

New in QLab 4.4.4 (Apr 10, 2019)

New in QLab 4.4.3 (Feb 22, 2019)

New in QLab 4.4.2 (Feb 12, 2019)

FIXED: QLab will no longer overwrite levels of Audio and Video cues when setting the target file the first time.
FIXED: Significant performance improvements when searching light instrument definitions.
FIXED: The behavior of pinch-to-zoom gestures in the Timeline tab.
FIXED: The behavior of the preview button in the Timeline tab.
FIXED: The inspector now correctly shows video-related tabs when a Fade cue is created automatically targeting a Video, Camera, or Text cue.
FIXED: Several issues with loading saved parameters on unused video effects.
FIXED: Resizing the Mic cue inspector won’t leave certain buttons dangling about in awkward places.
CHANGED: Refinements to the auto-targeting behavior for new cues introduced in QLab 4.4. Now, newly created cues will avoid automatically targeting cues which target other cues. This should avoid situations where, for example, creating several Start cues in a row resulted in a probably not-useful cascade of cue targets.
ADDED: Additional support for importing .gobutton and .gobundle files created by Go Button 3.2.1 and later.
ADDED: Instrument definitions for the following Chauvet fixtures: COLORado 1 Quad, COLORado Batten 72X, Ovation P-56FC, Ovation P-56UV, and Ovation P-56VW.

New in QLab 4.4.1 (Jan 17, 2019)

New in QLab 4.4 (Dec 4, 2018)

Workflow Changes:
ADDED: Multiple inspectors. You can now have multiple inspector windows open for a single workspace. Secondary inspectors are accessible via the View menu.
The primary inspector, whether or not it’s popped out, shows the selected cue in the main workspace window as before.
Secondary inspectors show a specific cue, selectable via a drop-down menu in the window footer.
Multiple inspectors can inspect the same cue at once.
ADDED: Auto-target new cues. Newly created cues will automatically target the selected cues when applicable.
When creating a new cue that targets another cue, the new cue will automatically target the currently selected cue.
If multiple cues are selected, a new dialog offers the choice of creating multiple new cues inserted after each target cue, multiple new cues after the last selected cue, or only a single new cue.
When creating Fade cues, selected cues will only be targeted if they are Group, Audio, Mic, Video, Camera, or Text cues.
ADDED: Pin cues in the timeline. In the Timeline tab of the inspector, cues can now be “pinned” to the top of the timeline. Pinned cues remain visible at the top of the timeline at all times, making it easy to compare pinned cues with cues lower down in the timeline.
ADDED: Cue lists opened in secondary windows now support limited editing when the workspace is in edit mode. You can edit cues’ cue number, cue name, pre-wait, action (if applicable), post-wait, and continue mode.
ADDED: In the Timeline tab of the inspector, when the option (⌥) key is held down, the left and right arrow keys "nudge" the pre-wait of the selected cue by 0.1 second. When the option (⌥) and shift (⇧) keys are both held down, the arrow keys nudge the pre-wait of the selected cue by 0.01 second.
ADDED: In the Timeline tab of the inspector, snapping behavior now includes snapping to the current playback time of cues in the same Timeline group.
ADDED: Cue colors are now shown in the Active Cues tab of the sidebar.
ADDED: The specific version of QLab you are running is now displayed in the “About QLab” menu item.
ADDED: The workspace window can now be much narrower when the inspector is either not visible or popped out as a separate window.
ADDED: The waveform view in the Time & Loops tab of the inspector now remembers your zoom and scroll positions for each cue.
ADDED: The waveform view in the Time & Loops tab of the inspector now shows the time at your mouse cursor even when the integrated fade is turned off.
ADDED: The waveform view in the Time & Loops tab of the inspector now supports hotkeys to set the start or end time of the cue to the current playback time. You can click anywhere in the waveform view and use ⇧I to set the start time, or ⇧O to set the end time.
ADDED: The Find search bar now allows you to “Select Found Cues”.
ADDED: Fancy Paste / Paste Cue Properties now supports a default preset, which will select properties automatically when opening the Fancy Paste window.
ADDED: Fancy Paste / Paste Cue Properties has improved support for Network and MIDI cues. Support for pasting Timecode cue destinations has been removed temporarily while we improve support for Timecode cues.
ADDED: The Tools menu has two new options when the selected cues have file targets: "Open target file in external editor" and "Reveal target file in Finder".
ADDED: The hotkeys for Move Playhead to Next Sequence (+/=) and Move Playhead to Previous Sequence (-) now have matching menu items in the View menu.
ADDED: When a workspace is in show mode, QLab will ask for confirmation before closing the workspace or quitting.
ADDED: Support for importing Go Button shows created by version 3.2 and later.
CHANGED: In the Timeline tab of the inspector, cues that have no duration (like Start and Memo cues, or MIDI and Network cues depending on settings) have a smaller minimum vertical height.
FIXED: Improved undo for cue properties that adjust cue duration.
FIXED: A bug that could cause a cue to erroneously auto-continue if you previewed the cue and then clicked in the waveform.
Lighting Changes:
FIXED: Significant performance improvements when working with large light patches and many light cues.
FIXED: Individual Light cues can now include multiple commands that apply to the same instrument or group, if those commands make distinct changes to the instrument or group (such as when pulling values from other Light cues.)
CHANGED: In the Light Dashboard, you can now easily click and drag up and down on a parameter’s text field to adjust that parameter. Dragging in this way shows decimal places to allow precise level setting, and the number of decimal places shown is greater for 16-bit parameters than for 8-bit parameters. Holding the shift key (⇧) while dragging allows even greater precision.
CHANGED: The light definition editor has been redesigned for friendlier instrument editing.
CHANGED: Light commands shown in the Light cue inspector are now automatically pruned when viewed or after certain editing operations. Thus, the “prune” button has been removed from the inspector.
ADDED: OSC and AppleScript API for a new function “replaceLightCommand” which replaces the older “updateLightCommand” command.
ADDED: Instrument definitions for the Altman PHX series.
ADDED: Instrument definitions for the Chauvet 4Bar Tri, COLORado Panel Q40, COLORband PiX, EZpar T6 USB, FXpar 3, FXpar 9, Maverick Storm 1 Wash, Ovation F-415FC, Ovation P-56WW, Strike P38, and Strike Saber.
ADDED: Instrument definitions for the Elation Platinum Spot 15r.
ADDED: Instrument definitions for the K9 Pup, Bulldog, Bulldog Pro, and Labrador.
ADDED: Instrument definitions for the Panasonic PT-RZ570 projector.
ADDED: Instrument definitions for the Robe ParFect S1.
ADDED: Instrument definitions for the following SGM fixtures: i-2, i-5, P-1, P-2, P-5, P-6, P-10, Q-2, Q-7, Q-10, and S-4.
ADDED: Instrument definitions for the following Showline fixtures: SL Bar 620, SL Bar 640, SL Bar 660, SL Bar 720ZT, SL eStrip 10 RGBW, SL Hydrus 350, SL LEDSpot 300, SL Nitro 510C, SL PAR 155 Zoom RGBW, SL Punchlite 220, and SL Strip 10 IP.
ADDED: Instrument definitions for the following Vari*Lite fixtures: VL10 BeamWash, VL800 BeamLine, VL2600 Profile, VL2600 Spot, VL2600 Wash, VLZ Profile, VLZ Spot, and VLZ Wash.

★ Stars denote major new features.
WORKFLOW CHANGES:
★ ADDED: Improvements to accessibility, via:
much-improved support for screen readers,
support for high-contrast mode,
support for differentiating UI elements without color,
and other improvements.
★ ADDED: A Triggers tab to the Workspace Status window, where you can review all cue triggers and workspace controls. You can also copy this information as text to export it to an external text editor or spreadsheet.
ADDED: You can now hold down the option key when dragging cues within a list or cart to duplicate them rather than move them.
ADDED: If you have chosen to show the Launcher window at launch, it will now also be shown if you close all open workspace windows.
ADDED: The playhead can now be unset via OSC by sending "none" to the Workspace or Group cue OSC commands "/playheadId" and "/playbackPositionId".
ADDED: You can now move the playhead on a Cue List with the OSC commands: /cue/{number}/playhead/next and /cue/{number}/playhead/previous
ADDED: You can now set the messaging rate (in FPS) of custom OSC messages in the Network cue.
CHANGED: The "Stop Selected" commands in the MIDI Controls and OSC Controls workspace settings are now "Panic Selected" commands.
CHANGED: When creating new cue lists or cue carts, the new list or cart will be inserted under the current selection in the right panel.
FIXED: Independent cue list windows will now respect the small / medium / large cue row preference.
FIXED: Fade cues are no longer allowed to target Network cues (which have no externally-fadable parameters anyway).
FIXED: Fade cue OSC methods that update the 3D geometry (i.e. /rotateX, /rotateY, /rotateZ, and /resetRotation) now require the rotation type to be set to "3D orientation".
FIXED: The Fade cue inspector now displays the correct content in the "Video Effects" tab for cues that target Group cues.
FIXED: The inspector no longer shows audio-related tabs for certain cue configurations that do not support audio, i.e. Fade cues that target Text or Camera cues and Video cues that play a still image.
FIXED: Several other bugs, some of which prevent crashes.
ADDED: Fade Cue OSC methods:
/rotation to get/set a single-axis rotation value, i.e. X rotation, Y rotation, or Z rotation.
/cue/{cue_number}/translation {number_x} {number_y}
/cue/{cue_number}/scale {number_x} {number_y}
ADDED: Improvements to the 2D fade path of the Network cue:
You can now scale, drag, and delete individual points of a 2D fade path, as well as the path as a whole.
The mouse coordinates are displayed when editing the 2D fade path.
AUDIO CHANGES:
★ ADDED: A new mode for Network cues to support integration with the new DS100 Soundscape processing engine from d&b audiotechnik. The DS100 is a 64x64 channel signal processing system, featuring flexible routing and DSP, spatial positioning of sound, and acoustic emulation. You can enable DS100 mode for Network cues in the network workspaces settings.
★ ADDED: You can now batch-edit audio levels and audio trim in the Audio and Video cue inspectors. (Not yet supported for Mic cues.)
FIXED: A very brief (~5ms) fade-in that could sometimes affect the beginning of audio playback even when a cue was pre-loaded.
FIXED: Cues that are in the ghostly tail-out state (when the file has finished playback but something like an audio reverb is still rendering) will now behave better.
VIDEO CHANGES:
★ ADDED: Video surfaces can now be set to keep rendering a black background between cues, ensuring a smoother start for the next Video cue. Screens assigned to surfaces with this setting will continue rendering until a panic.
FIXED: A regression that prevented drop shadows in Text cues from working properly.
FIXED: If the mouse is located on a video surface when the video begins to play, it will now re-appear properly if it is moved to a screen that is not in use as a video surface.
ADDED: OSC methods to set the live rotation around a specific axis:
/cue/{cue_number}/liveRotation/Xaxis {number} or /cue/{cue_number}/liveRotation/x {number}
/cue/{cue_number}/liveRotation/Yaxis {number} or /cue/{cue_number}/liveRotation/y {number}
/cue/{cue_number}/liveRotation/Zaxis {number} or /cue/{cue_number}/liveRotation/z {number}
ADDED: OSC methods to set some video parameters as a 2-argument method, rather than just the previous 1-argument versions:
/cue/{cue_number}/translation {number_x} {number_y}
/cue/{cue_number}/liveTranslation {number_x} {number_y}
/cue/{cue_number}/scale {number_x} {number_y}
/cue/{cue_number}/liveScale {number_x} {number_y}
/cue/{cue_number}/origin {number_x} {number_y}
★ FIXED: We’ve spent a lot of time under the hood working on improving video performance. Changes include:
The video effects pipeline has been rewritten from the ground up, dramatically improving performance by utilizing GPU acceleration.
Video effects no longer entail an undesired shift in color values or gamma response.
Video effects like blurs are no longer cropped to the original cue dimensions.
Animating the geometry of Video, Camera, or Text cues using a Fade cue is now smoother.
Loading to (or past) the end of a Video cue has been optimized, significantly improving performance when “jumping” into the middle of a long sequence of Video cues.
Video cues that contain an audio track will now play back more smoothly.
LIGHTING CHANGES:
★ ADDED: You can now undo/redo your edits in the Light Dashboard.
ADDED: Support for both universes of DMXKing ultraDMX2 PRO and eDMX2 PRO interfaces.
ADDED: Support for decimal values in Light cue commands which use percentage values, to allow higher precision.

FIXED: QLab will now reset orphaned DMX values to 0 when unpatching instruments in the Light Patch.
FIXED: QLab will now now re-transmit Art-Net DMX packets every 0.8 seconds, per the recommendation in the latest Art-Net spec. This improves compatibility with some Art-Net receivers.
FIXED: A bug that prevented certain light commands (like “all = home”) from working properly.
FIXED: A typo in the light definition for the Martin MAC Axiom Hybrid.
CHANGED: Built-in light definitions have been standardized around using the parameter name “intensity” instead of “dimmer.” Instrument definitions that have been created or saved in existing workspaces will not be changed.
CHANGED: The light definition called “COLORado Solo (1, 2, 3)” has been replaced with a new definition called “COLORado Solo (1, 2, 3, M)” to support the COLORago M. The definition has also been updated to use “intensity” in place of “dimmer” for consistency.
CHANGED: The light definition called “WW Profile” has been replaced with a new definition called “WW Profile or CW Profile HP” to support the CW Profile HP.
CHANGED: Several light definitions for Chauvet Ovation instruments had typo fixes and/or improvements for clarity.
★ ADDED: New functions in the Light Dashboard:
Update Selected Cue(s) - Records edited levels into the currently selected Light cue(s).
Record All to Selected Cue(s) - Record all levels into the currently selected Light cue(s).
Record All to Latest Cue - Record all levels into the most recently run Light cue.
Clear All - Set all instruments to their home values. (aka “Go to blackout.”)

New in QLab 4.1.7 Build 4107 (Feb 20, 2018)

New in QLab 4.1.6 Build 4106 (Dec 5, 2017)

New in QLab 4.1.5 Build 4105 (Nov 30, 2017)

FIXED: Don’t lose edits in certain inspector text views (Script, OSC, MIDI SysEx, etc) if switching focus to another application.
FIXED: When viewing a cue list in a separate window, resizing the “number” or “target” column will now stick.
FIXED: Some cases where the “move to next/previous cue sequence” commands would not do the right thing.
FIXED: A bug that prevented being able to set the current playback time on a Text cue in the Active Cues List.
FIXED: Don’t allow dragging a cue or a file on to a cue list or cue cart, thus potentially retargeting every cue in the list or cart.
FIXED: Don’t show the “loaded” status icon if a cue is broken.
FIXED: A bug in the OSC "/patchList" command that caused QLab Remote to show the audio slider "live" status on the wrong audio channels if an audio patch used customized Device Routing.
FIXED: A bug that caused cues that should not respond to a given OSC command to return an invalid response when that command was sent to multiple cues at once.
FIXED: An issue that caused Audio cues to drop samples when started using the Cart play button or the the Time & Loops inspector tab "Preview" button.
FIXED: A bug where QLab would beachball when viewing a cart with many cues in it in a separate window.
FIXED: A bug that would cause the inspector to show the wrong cue if you clicked with the mouse to change the selection while in show mode and then switched to edit mode. (Yes, it’s…sort of confusing. But now: fixed.)
FIXED: Video surfaces with active Syphon output will now properly publish changes to the surface name.
FIXED: Various additional bug fixes, some which prevent crashes.
CHANGED: Improved filtering for the Art-Net Lighting Interface preference to avoid confusing USB DMX devices with Art-Net devices.
CHANGED: Removed the option to hold down the shift key to insert new cues before instead of after selection. This feature interfered with existing workflows in a number of cases, and caused more trouble than it was worth.
ADDED: Additional compatibility when importing shows created in Go Button 3.1 and newer.
ADDED: A “Reset Origin” button in the surface editor, shown when there is no video license installed.
ADDED: Workspaces now respond to the new AppleScript commands: movePlayheadUp, movePlayheadDown, movePlayheadUpASequence, movePlayheadDownASequence
ADDED: Group cues now respond to the new AppleScript commands: expand and collapse. (Which changes their displayed state in the cue list.)

Lighting Changes:
ADDED: In addition to Art-Net interfaces, QLab now supports the following USB-based DMX interfaces:
ENTTEC DMX USB Pro
ENTTEC DMX USB Pro Mk2
DMXking ultraDMX RDM Pro
DMXking ultraDMX Micro
ADDED: You can now instruct a Light cue to “pull” a value from another Light cue when it runs. Those familiar with the idea of palettes or presets on other lighting consoles will find this concept familiar. Learn more here.
ADDED: Light settings now have a dedicated MIDI input channel, used when controlling the dashboard or light cue inspector via MIDI.

CHANGED: The command key to toggle the Light Dashboard (command-shift-D) now always moves focus to the light command field, unless it already has focus in which case it toggles back to the workspace window.
Workflow Changes:
ADDED: You can now view cue lists and cue carts in separate, dedicated windows using the "Open in New Window" button in the Lists / Carts panel. You can open as many cue list / cue cart windows as you want. All windows operate in “show mode”.
ADDED: The cue inspector can now be “popped out” into its own window.
ADDED: The new Launcher window provides easy access to open your recently edited workspaces, create new workspaces with workspace templates, and other useful functions. For new installations of QLab, it is the first thing that opens up when QLab opens. You can adjust this behavior in “QLab” → “QLab Preferences”.
ADDED: Support for connecting to QLab Remote via USB cable instead of wifi. Workspaces available via USB tethering show up on the QLab Remote connection screen in their own section (labelled “USB”).
ADDED: Multiple cue selection for cue carts.

ADDED: The “Find” function will now search the content of Text cues, the content of custom OSC messages, the content of UDP messages, and the content of Script cues.
ADDED: When moving to next and previous sequences, Group cues in “start all” mode are now considered a cue sequence, so you’ll jump over the whole group.
ADDED: Workspace template files (with the file type "qlab4template") can now be opened directly by QLab, including via double-click.
ADDED: In the workspace template management window, you can right-click to get a menu of new actions for templates:
Set as Default
Reveal in Finder
Export
Rename
Delete
CHANGED: "New Workspace" (Command-N) now creates a workspace using the default workspace template.
CHANGED: Cue lists and carts can now be deleted in the same way as other cues from the Lists / Carts panel.
CHANGED: To make an empty or blank workspace, you may set the new built-in blank workspace template as your default template.
Audio & Video Changes:
ADDED: You can now loop an entire cue, even when it is sliced. The Devamp cue now allows you to specify whether you want to devamp the current slice or the entire cue.
ADDED: Pressing the “m” key (“m” for “marker”) will now add slice markers when inspecting the audio waveform of an Audio or Video cue.
ADDED: Support for setting the line spacing format of the text in Text cue.
ADDED: The actual display width of a Text cue is now shown in the Inspector.
ADDED: Paste Cue Attributes (“Fancy Paste”) now supports more attributes of the Text cue: font, font color, and alignment (left, right, center, justify).
ADDED: The audio patch editor window now saves its size and location so you don’t have to resize it every time you open it.
ADDED: The maximum dB level set in the audio settings will now also be reflected in the limits for values you can set in the GUI.
ADDED: Support for the Blackmagic Web Presenter as an input source for Camera cues.

/dashboard/newCueWithChanges
/dashboard/newCueWithAll
/dashboard/revert
ADDED: AppleScript hooks for timecode trigger values and setting cue colors.
ADDED: Extensive OSC and AppleScript APIs for manipulating text and live text formats in Text cues, including:
Set font name, e.g. /cue/{cue_number}/text/format/fontName {font_name}
Set font color, e.g. /cue/{cue_number}/text/format/color {red} {green} {blue} {alpha}
Set font size and line spacing (including relative +/- adjustments), e.g.:
set size: /cue/{cue_number}/text/format/fontSize {new_size}
nudge line spacing: /cue/{cue_number}/text/format/lineSpacing/+ {delta}
format a substring: /cue/{cue_number}/text/format/fontSize/{index}/{length} {size}
format a single word: /cue/{cue_number}/text/format/fontSize/word/{index} {size}
etc.
Retrieve current format information
Retrieve available system font information
Learn more about the OSC methods here, and learn more about the AppleScript methods here.
ADDED: Extensive OSC and AppleScript APIs for manipulating slices in Audio and Video cues, including:
Add slices, e.g. /cue/{cue_number}/addSliceMarker {time} {play_count}
Delete slices, e.g. /cue/{cue_number}/deleteSliceMarkers/{slice_index}
Edit slice times and loop counts (including batch editing slices and relative +/- adjustments), e.g.:
set time: /cue/{cue_number}/sliceMarker/{slice_index}/time {new_time}
nudge time: /cue/{cue_number}/sliceMarker/{slice_index}/time/+ {delta}

Makin’-Stuff-Not-Broken Changes:
FIXED: An issue where Text cue would sometimes default to the incorrect paragraph alignment when adding new text.
FIXED: An issue that could cause the Inspector to not refresh after deleting one or more cues.
FIXED: The Disable disruptive OS features in Show Mode preference now prevents display dimming and sleep, as it said it would.
FIXED: The Group cue created by drag-and-dropping a folder of audio files from the Finder now inherits the Workspace's cue template settings for Group cues.
FIXED: OSC clients are now sent a video settings update message when another OSC client modifies a Video Surface's control points.
Licensing Changes:
ADDED: You may now install license seats to USB drives (such as thumb drives or flash drives). This allows you to create a portable license which will activate QLab while it is plugged in to your computer.
CHANGED: Redesigned the license manager for clarity.

FULL LIGHTING CONTROL:
Without a doubt, the biggest new feature in QLab 4 is the new Light cue. QLab can now control your lights directly, using the Art-Net protocol.
Whether you're a seasoned lighting professional or completely new to lights, we've worked hard to make designing your lights simple, powerful, and fun. We've tried to build on important concepts in the field, in addition to breaking some new ground. Version 4.0 is focused especially on providing a great set of tools for controlling conventional lights, but also supports more complex lights with multiple parameters (includes support for percentage-based parameters, as well as both 8-bit and 16-bit direct DMX parameters.)
You can read all about the new Light cue in our extensive lighting user guides.
We're also excited to share some examples of QLab lighting in this space in the days to come, so stay tuned.
INTEGRATED CUE CARTS:
QLab 4 integrates and expands the features formerly found in our application QCart. With version 4 we are retiring QCart, because QLab now does everything it did, and about a kajillion times more.
(If you are a QCart customer, don't worry, 100% of the purchase price of your QCart license can be applied to a QLab 4 upgrade, if you so desire.)
Cue carts can hold every kind of cue except Group cues, so they're an ideal way to build a super-friendly interface to your design.
For example, here's an example cart that provides quick and easy visual activation of cues based on which actor is playing a role on any given day. It's a great method for handling voiceovers, video cues, or any other sort of cue that needs to change to suit the actor who's on that night. You can even adjust the colors of the buttons based on which actor has been "activated", so it's totally clear that everything is ready for the show.
MASSIVE WORKFLOW IMPROVEMENTS:
Your new design toolbox includes:
Fancy Paste — pasting cue attributes directly onto one or more other cues can save hours of tedious work.
Record Cue Sequence — run a cue sequence once by hand, so QLab can re-play it again exactly as you did.
Cue Templates — customize exactly how every cue is created.
Highlight Related Cues — with this mode enabled, you can instantly see every cue that shares the same target.
New Status Window — A place to discover everything from exactly what OSC messages you're getting to what Art-Net nodes were found on the network.
And, of course, a lot more.
TURBO-CHARGED QLAB REMOTE:
We're thrilled to release a completely rebuilt, dramatically more powerful QLab Remote for iOS.
QLab Remote now includes:
An all-new design that looks great on all devices and supports iPad Split View mode.
Live progress timers for your running cues.
Customizable UI layout - show, hide, or resize the GO and transport buttons.
A new "Read-Only Mode" to watch a workspace without worrying about accidentally triggering or editing a cue.
Edit audio level inputs and crosspoints, not just output levels.
Attach a keyboard and navigate with shortcuts familiar to QLab power users.
Browse and select new cue targets, from all the media files in the same directory as your QLab workspace.
And maybe my favorite new feature: the mobile surface editor, for fine-tuning your video surface control points to get it lined up juuuust right.
GENERAL:
Record sequence tool.
Highlight related cues mode.
“Paste cue properties” aka “fancy paste”.
Cue templates.
Support for many new remote editing features when using the new version of QLab Remote.
Status window, which includes: warnings, logging tool, Art-Net node list, general info.
Hotkey for editing cue notes.
Trigger option: fade and stop peers/list/all cues with customizable fade time.
Trigger option: duck/boost volume of other cues in list/cart to given volume level over given time.
Trigger option: second trigger actions, performed when a running cue is triggered a second time.
Trigger option: "perform second trigger on release" for Hotkey, MIDI Note, or cart button triggers.
Batch edit in the inspector for the following tabs: Basics, Triggers, Light Cue Levels.
Support for negative post-wait times, to indicate triggering the next cue "this many seconds before the current one ends”.
Network cue (formerly the OSC cue) can inject the outgoing message with the current value of (almost) anything in QLab that you can query via OSC.
Network cue OSC messages can be given a duration, over which they re-send their message.
Network cue OSC messages can now be faded over a series of values — both 1D and 2D fades.
Network cues can now be directed to a specific network interface.
Customizable OSC reply formats when using the OSC API.
Group cues in “random” mode now operate in a round-robin manner, where all cues will be triggered before a new round of random cues begins.
Group cues that "start all children" now inherit the duration of their longest child.
Parametric fade curve. (By default, produces equal power audio fade when fading through linear audio domain.)
Control of which domain is used for audio level fades: slider, decibel, or linear.
Option to trigger cue on workspace close, in addition to workspace open
Export broken cues and warnings list as text (via copy to clipboard).
Visible red flash around go button if double-go protection is invoked.
Hold down shift key to insert new cues before instead of after selection.
Temporary duration ("tempDuration") for all cues where editing duration is allowed - accessible via AppleScript and OSC.
A "currentDuration" read-only property (AppleScript and OSC) that returns the current duration of the cue, accounting for any tempDuration that has been set.
Many new OSC API hooks, and a new special address to talk to "active" (running or paused) cues
Application preference for what to do on launch:
restore most recent workspaces
create a new blank workspace
create a new workspace from default template
show the workspace template picker
do nothing
Enhancements to global overrides:
global input/output overrides can now be set by type of message
new OSC/AppleScript hooks for each override
any cue affected by an override will show a red override status image
a warning now appears in the workspace footer for input or Art-Net overrides
AUDIO:
Support for up to 64 audio output channels (up from 48).
The integrated fade envelope can now be locked to the start/end time of the cue instead of the file.
Mic cues can now use specific channels of the input device.
Minimum slice time has been reduced to 0.05 seconds (down from 0.1).
Audio cues watch their target files for changes and update automatically.
Duck/boost volume of other cues in list/cart to given volume level over given time.
VIDEO:
Editable durations for still image Video cues and Text cues.
Copy/paste surface geometry in video settings.
Video facets are now anchored to their center points when they change size.
Improved color accuracy of video cues and effects.

New in QLab 3.1.24 Build 3124 (Sep 29, 2016)

New in QLab 3.1.23 Build 3123 (Apr 22, 2016)

FIXED: Require a pro license to sync to incoming timecode. (If you are using incoming timecode without a license you will need to purchase or rent a license; apologies for this accidental oversight.)
FIXED: Worked around an issue that would cause the mouse to behave erratically when using Waves Audio Unit plugins.
FIXED: Use monospaced digits for time displays to fix the "jumping time" display bug in recent versions of OS X.
FIXED: Camera cues using Syphon inputs will no longer cause QLab to freeze when a video effect is added.
FIXED: Allow adding a single display to an empty video surface, even without a pro license.
FIXED: A bug with "revert to saved" that could cause old cues to remain active until a change was made to the workspace.
FIXED: Any text fields that are being edited will now be committed prior to saving a workspace or closing the audio patch editor.
FIXED: In the video surface editor, perform hit test on control points for the currently selected surface before those of any other surface.
FIXED: OSC messages sent to an IPv4 broadcast address will no longer be received twice.
FIXED: You can now send OSC messages to "localhost" when the workspace has a passcode.
FIXED: A bug that prevented the load-to-time slider from working correctly with group cues set to "start first child and go to next cue" that also had a pre-wait.
FIXED: An issue with devamping Video cues that could cause the video playback to not match the audio playback.
FIXED: Fix draggable text fields in the Fade cue's geometry tab so they aren't limited to +/-1000.
FIXED: You can no longer set a continue mode for cues that are contained in a "start all" group.
FIXED: Redraw the audio waveform at least once a second when reading in audio file data.
FIXED: You can now undo/redo changes to the UDP string of an OSC cue.
FIXED: Prevent QLab from entering an alternate dimension if you viewed the settings while in full screen mode and then tried to exit full screen mode.
FIXED: A few small memory leaks.
CHANGED: For security reasons, the OSC method to access the scriptSource of a Script cue is now read-only.
CHANGED: QLab will no longer close the surface editor if you hit the escape key while it is open.
ADDED: A button in the Fade cue "Levels" and "Geometry" tabs for the "live preview" option.
ADDED: startAndAutoloadNext OSC method to cues, so that you can start a cue and auto-load the next cue sequence that follows it.

FIXED: A bug that could cause an incorrect frame of video to flash at the end of a video cue slice.
FIXED: If the workspace name does not display the file extension (“.cues”) don’t try to truncate the extension when bundling.
FIXED: Improve performance of certain AppleScript operations on workspaces with many nested group cues.
FIXED: When displaying a grid in the surface editor, accommodate long screen names and keep the center of the grid visible.
FIXED: A bug that could cause the playback position to revert to a previous cue when if the row was clicked with the mouse prior to triggering GO.
FIXED: Do not let the workspace window bump downwards when flipping it over to view the settings. (Previously this would happen if the window was too close to the menubar.)
FIXED: Undo/redo now works for the “name” fields in the OSC cue settings.
FIXED: Stop video and group cues immediately if they receive a “panic” command and are just counting down their pre-wait.
FIXED: Miscellaneous other small bugs.
CHANGED: If the “live text” of a titles cue has been changed, reset it when the cue is stopped.
ADDED: Restore the last-viewed cue list when opening a workspace.
ADDED: OSC messages can now be sent to broadcast IP addresses.
ADDED: If (and only if) an OSC message is sent to “localhost” on port 53000, that message will be delivered to QLab directly (without going through the network stack), which ensures the order of operations represented in the cue sequence. You can still go through the network stack via address 127.0.0.1.
ADDED: AppleScript hook to set the selected cues of the workspace.
ADDED: AppleScript hook to access the “live text” of a titles cue. (Setting this value changes the text but does not mark the workspace as edited.)
ADDED: AppleScript hook to access the AppleScript script of a script cue, and to trigger compiling the script. Scriptability for the Script Cue! Automation for the Automation Throne!
ADDED: You can now right-click the license manager window to select an option to copy license data to the clipboard.
ADDED: A field at the bottom right corner of the surface editor to display the surface ID, which can be used in OSC commands.

New in QLab 3.1.12 Build 3112 (Jun 5, 2015)

New in QLab 3.1.8 Build 3108 (Feb 13, 2015)

FIXED: Prevent a workspace from being bundled on top of itself.
FIXED: Paused fade cues will now restart where they left off.
FIXED: A bug where recent edits to an AU effect in the audio patch editor would be lost if another effect was added or deleted.
FIXED: You can now edit AU effects in the patch editor even if there are no cues in the workspace.
FIXED: Some bugs related to Blackmagic output devices.
FIXED: A case where parsing an AppleScript for errors could lead to a crash.
FIXED: Setting notes via AppleScript now uses the proper default text style.
FIXED: A bug that prevented typing into the Origin fields in the video surface editor.
FIXED: Moving between audio level fields will now keep the currently selected field visible.
FIXED: Miscellaneous other bugs.
CHANGED: Triggering a devamp cue that starts the next cue now always does that, whether or not the target is running. Previously, if the target was not running, the devamp did nothing. Now, if the target is not running, the devamp cue will immediately start the next cue.
CHANGED: Default MIDI Cue is now note on number 60 velocity 64, since the previous default of velocity 0 can be interpreted as a note off.
ADDED: Live fade preview can now be turned on and off via shift-command-P (in the Tools menu)
ADDED: Shift-Command-J will now jump to the selected cue's target cue.
ADDED: Keyboard shortcuts to move the playhead, which is useful if the selection and playhead are not locked together.

/auditionWindow {number} - queries or sets the visibility of the audition window
/workspace/{id}/fullScreen {number} - queries or sets whether the workspace is full screen
/workspace/{id}/selectionIsPlayhead {number} - queries or sets whether the playhead is locked to the selection
/workspace/{id}/showMode {number} - queries or sets whether the workspace is in show mode
/workspace/{id}/liveFadePreview {number} - queries or sets whether the workspace has live fade previews enabled
ADDED: OSC command to get or set the mode of group cues: /cue/{id}/mode {1, 2, 3, 4}
ADDED: OSC command to renumber selected cues: /workspace/{id}/renumber startAt incrementBy

GENERAL:
ADDED: By popular demand, cue notes are now rich text again (you can change size, style, color, etc). Knock yerself out.
ADDED: You can now resize the top panel to show more notes or to hide the top panel entirely. Do this by dragging the top of the cue list header.
ADDED: The progress bars in the active cues list can now be dragged to seek to a specific time. Hold down the shift key for fine adjustments. Play/pause controls have also been added.
ADDED: A template system, for saving and loading template workspaces.
ADDED: An option to demo all the features of a Pro Bundle license. This mode is for trying out features only; saving, opening, and copy/cut/paste operations are disabled while it is active.
ADDED: The GO button becomes an Audition button when the Audition window is active, to make it clear that cues won't be output to their normal destinations.
ADDED: The OSC Cue now has an option to send out a raw UDP string instead of an OSC message.
ADDED: You can now name OSC destinations in the OSC settings.
ADDED: Master MIDI / OSC override control panel, for turning incoming/outgoing MIDI/OSC off and on.
ADDED: Status display of incoming LTC stream, including signal strength and crosstalk detection.
ADDED: Script cues can now be run as a separate process, so slow scripts won't cause QLab to hang. Note: Scripts with an implied tell application "QLab" block will not work with this option, and will need to have the tell block added explicitly or this option disabled.
ADDED: The location of AppleScript errors is now highlighted in the script cue inspector.
ADDED: "edit mode" and "show mode" are now AppleScript properties that can be queried or set on a workspace.
ADDED: Cues that are disarmed or running will not be selected as the random cue for groups in "start random child" mode.
ADDED: AppleScript hooks for some parameters of OSC cues.
CHANGED: Default panic duration has been reduced to 1 second.
CHANGED: The OSC remote control trigger for Stop All now triggers a Panic All, and is thus consistent with the MIDI remote control trigger of the same type.
CHANGED: You can now only drag the start/end/slice times using the top handle in the waveform view (the slice line itself is no longer draggable).
CHANGED: A devamp cue that automatically starts the next cue will allow the next cue to auto-load if specified.
FIXED: When manipulating many cues via AppleScript or OSC, a large delay in processing the script could be introduced if the inspector was open and displaying a cue.
FIXED: Other small bug fixes.
AUDIO:
FIXED: Audio cues with no valid device patched will now play to the audition patch when the audition window is open.
FIXED: Device volume levels will not reset to unity when adding effects on device outputs.
ADDED: Support for stereo audio effects on cue outputs and device outputs.
ADDED: Bundling a workspace produces a text file listing all audio effects used.
ADDED: AppleScript hooks to getGang and setGang on the volume matrix, which work similarly to the getLevel and setLevel commands.
ADDED: More gang colors.
VIDEO:
FIXED: Masks now apply to alpha instead of RGB, so surfaces can show through each other's masked areas.
FIXED: Mask images now save relative paths, so bundled masks don't break.
FIXED: Correctly set & display default video effect parameters for the built-in video effects.
FIXED: Panicking while the surface editor is open no longer requires an extra press of the Escape key.
FIXED: The surface editor now has undo support.
ADDED: A new Titles Cue dedicated just to, you guessed it, titles. (Basic Video license required.)
ADDED: Fade Cues can now fade video effect parameters.
ADDED: Ability to split surfaces for mesh warping. (Pro Video license required.)
ADDED: Linear and Bézier warp modes. (Pro Video license required.)
ADDED: Support for video output via Blackmagic DeckLink devices.
ADDED: The Audition window now shows all active surfaces.
ADDED: Ability to change the anchor point around which a cue's scaling and translation take place.
ADDED: A shortcut to create new surfaces with a single screen assigned, automatically matching dimensions to that screen.
ADDED: A shortcut to create a new surface with an arrangement of identical screens and optional overlap.
ADDED: A 2x2 partial screen layout, for splitters like the Datapath x4.
ADDED: A layer option for surfaces. Cues are now sorted by cue layer within each surface (instead of globally), and surfaces are sorted by surface layer when rendering.
ADDED: Screens can now be rotated in 90° increments. This replaces the "Ceiling" checkbox in the surface editor. (Pro Video license required.)
ADDED: An option to show projector alignment guides. (Pro Video license required.)
ADDED: An option to bypass automatic edge blending on a per-projector basis.
CHANGED: Revamped video effects interface, now with draggable text fields for number values and ability to tab between fields.
CHANGED: Single-screen video surfaces are no longer special cases. They are created automatically only when creating a new workspace, and can be edited (with a Pro Video license) and deleted like any other surface. This fixes issues caused by QLab 3.0.x trying to manage single-screen surfaces while hardware changes and OS X changes display IDs unpredictably. As a result of this change, surface names must be unique.
CHANGED: Saving a grid image will now save only the area of the shuttered surface.
OSC API
ADDED: /toggleAuditionWindow - application-level OSC method to show or hide the audition window.
ADDED: /workspace/{id}/delete/{cue_number} - delete cues by number.

FIXED: Surface masks are now included when bundling.
FIXED: Video grids now match the shuttered surface dimensions instead of scaling down from the unshuttered dimensions.
FIXED: If more than one attached display has the same EDID information, they will be distinguished based on where each is connected to the system. Workspaces saved after this update will therefore need remapping far less often.
FIXED: A bug that could cause QLab to freeze when applying effects to a video cue rendered on a multi-screen surface.
FIXED: A crash that could occur when connecting/disconnecting displays.
FIXED: Prevent crash when entering invalid text for an MSC Q Path parameter.
FIXED: Bug that could cause duplicate cues to appear when dragging cues between workspaces.
FIXED: Close the surface editor window if the workspace window is closed.
FIXED: Bug that could cause QLab to crash when closing a workspace.
FIXED: Bug that could cause audio playback to halt when using the load-to-time function on certain kinds of cue sequences.
FIXED: Pre/post waits of group cues will be stopped when groups are panicked.
FIXED: A bug that caused fade cues to treat X and Y scale as locked, even if they were unlocked, when loading a saved workspace.
FIXED: Switching a video cue's surface while it's playing will no longer result in two copies of the cue playing.
FIXED: Video scale now responds to physical scroll wheel events.
FIXED: The first click in a crosspoint will no longer set the master volume to silent.
FIXED: Fade Cues will no longer accept MIDI Cues as targets.
FIXED: Changing levels via the OSC API will now respond more promptly and can accept much more rapid delivery of level change messages.
FIXED: OSC replies sent over a TCP connection now use the double END SLIP protocol, instead of single END.
FIXED: Other stability improvements.
ADDED: Relative geometry fades now allow for opacity over 100%.
ADDED: Repatch button is now available for all single-screen surfaces, not just those whose displays are disconnected.
ADDED: A button to reset surface shutters.
ADDED: Video grids now show the surface name and resolution, both inclusive and exclusive of shutters.
ADDED: Find function will also search the target cue numbers.
ADDED: Accept ASCII string messages on UDP port 53535, which are interpreted as string representations of OSC commands.

FIXED: Video rendering bugs that could cause QLab to quit unexpectedly or display incorrect video output.
FIXED: A bug that could cause QLab to freeze when opening a saved workspace.
FIXED: A bug that could cause QLab to freeze during audio playback, e.g. at a loop point.
FIXED: Importing an audio file with unnamed markers will no longer cause QLab to quit unexpectedly.
FIXED: A bug that could cause QLab to quit unexpectedly when closing a workspace.
FIXED: Bundled workspaces will now find the media files when opening the workspace on a new computer.
FIXED: A bug that could cause camera cues to show incorrect input options in the patch button.
FIXED: Clicking in the waveform view will now work correctly if playback rate is not 1.0.
FIXED: Copying cues will now copy the text description of all selected cues.
FIXED: Script cues no longer break if the user canceled the script while it ran.
FIXED: A bug that could prevent fading the master audio channel if a cue used an integrated fade.
FIXED: A bug that could prevent MIDI triggers assigned to individual cues from working if general MIDI controls were enabled on the workspace.
FIXED: Fade cues that target groups will now always show the geometry tab if the group contains a video cue.
FIXED: Gangs are now cleared when resetting audio settings to defaults.
FIXED: The currently selected gang is now saved when exiting Assign Gangs mode.
FIXED: MIDI cues can now be triggered by timecode.
FIXED: A bug that could prevent the first cue in a group from playing if the cue was pre-loaded.
FIXED: A bug that prevented workspaces from being cleaned up properly when closing a workspace that contained camera cues.
FIXED: Several small memory leaks.
CHANGED: Don't ever try to renumber cues that are being copied/pasted/dragged between documents.
ADDED: A way to repatch a disconnected screen to an available screen, updating multi-screen surfaces as appropriate and deleting the unavailable single-screen surface.
ADDED: The mouse is now hidden if it moves onto a video surface.
ADDED: If a geometry or rate value is edited in a fade cue, automatically enable fading on that parameter.
ADDED: Increased video scale tolerance to three decimal places.
ADDED: Clicking on the cue row status area will move the playback position to that cue.
