DVC3 First Release - 27th July 2012
Posted: Mon Jul 30, 2012 12:34 pm
DVC3 is finally out of BETA! The first official release is available from our website. Please continue to report any issues. As a special treat to our testers we have included a brand new FAN option which can be found next to the XY grid palette. It's really easy to create some great effects with this.
We'll continue to work on DVC3 for a while to fix any final issues and implement a couple of new features such as more DMX input control options.
Below is a list of all bug fixes and features so far
