Release News and Change Log

[Jan]

Version 4.1.0

http://pira.cz/rds/magicrds/MagicRDS_Setup.exe

• The External text sources are finally completely redesigned. Further text outputs are now allowed, each with selectable format and destinations. Single instance of the application can now serve several radio stations
• MP3 audio recorder added
• PI calculator added
• Bug fixes: PIRA32 RTP if final Radiotext doesn't match any RT+ template, JSON parser access violation error, JS infinite loop protection and much more

The version 4.1.0 brings the biggest update from the date of origination. Although we spent a lot of time on testing, we strongly recommend to check the External text sources configuration after updating from older versions, to verify that all settings were converted successfully to the new environment. Please report any bugs.

Known issues:
The Text Replacing now applies to Text conditions as well. As the result, the Text conditions may work different way after the update. Please wait for the fix.
