I've then decided to postpone the launch of the public beta version so I could reproduce this issue which is now fixed.Īnd now is the time, after demos at two shows (Munich & Paris), and limited private beta, to open the beta testing to more. A few days ago, I issued a very first private beta version, and unfortunately, some testers had a crash due to specific Asio drivers.
As you know the issue with software development is that the issues, and amount of real work to do is nearly always discovered only when being on it.Īnd as I'm quite a perfectionnist, I wanted to have a beta at a real beta level to offer you for testing, that is with already some good testing already done.
