Release Note for AstroDMx Capture 2.9.5

IMPORTANT: 2.9.5 replaces the recently released 2.9.4.

Version 2.9.5 is a maintenance release of AstroDMx Capture that fixes a few bugs reported since the release of 2.9.1. In addition to this, the diagnostic reporting system has been significantly improve.

Diagnostic System

AstroDMx has featured a diagnostic reporting system for many years. However, due to certain issues, it has not always been possible to analyse the information produced by the diagnostics. The latest version introduces a new diagnostic system that will generate significantly more information in the event of a crash.

In the unlikely event that AstroDMx crashes, the user will see a detailed window displaying key information along with a stack trace. This information will also be saved to the user’s desktop. The following screenshot shows what this message will look like.

The user can email the stack trace saved on the desktop or copy and paste the information displayed in the crash report. The hexadecimal addresses in the report will assist the software developers in analysing and debugging the problem.

General

Version 2.9.1 underwent a complete rewrite of the ToupTek camera code. Unfortunately, this resulted in a minor bug resulting in an erroneous error message. This bug has been fixed. In addition to this, various SDKs have been updated.

For more information about this release, please see the changelog. The new version (2.9.5) can be found on the main downloads page.
