Release 1.12.0-RC3

[falkTX]

Hello all. This is a bugfix for the previous 1.12 release candidates.

We made some small fixes since RC2, which we want to do some final testing on before tagging the final release.
Everyone that has the 1.12-RC2 build installed, please update as soon as possible.
Those who are in the “group 1” testers group will get this upgrade in their mod-ui notification panel.

Please refer to the RC1 topic to read the changes made in 1.12:

Release 1.12.0-RC1

Hi there everyone, a release candidate for a new major release is here - v1.12.0-RC1 aka “Anniversary edition”. This release focuses on 2 main things - updating the kernel for Duo/Dwarf and bringing some Dwarf features to the Duo X. Please note that this is a release candidate. That means it might be stable, but needs widespread testing first to make sure. If no issues are found in around 2-3 weeks we’ll release it as stable, otherwise we’ll do a RC2. Also, please note this release does no…

Here’s the changelog for RC3:

• add option to delete plugin license keys (in advanced settings, dangerous section)
• fix removing control chain preset addressings
• fix plugin presets save sometimes restoring with old values
• improve web gui responsiveness when using many dynamic controls (handle all queued messages before requesting more)

Duo X specific changes:

• allow for empty banks from device
• fix memory issue when using specific addressings

Dwarf specific changes:

• fix list addressings only stepping 1 item when turning knobs

Woot! Feels so good to have this back to quickly scroll through snapshots. However, I notice that the Multibutton to CV output state still isn’t saving to snapshots. Please don’t let that fix slip through the cracks!

Thanks !

I was actually wrong on this in the other thread, and its the plugin that needs to handle things a bit differently
I just made those changes, so it should be updated in the store soon too.

Hi,
I found a curious behaviour with the 1.12 RC3

• on this pedalboard : Error with_1-12-RC3 - MOD Devices
• delete the last plugin remaining on it
• save
  → I have the message Bug! Couldn’t save the pedalboard

Though I still can

• add and/or delete all other plugins and save with no problem
• add and/or delete the LFO plugin on any other pedalboard

Do you have any clue for this ? Do you have the same result on your Dwarf ?

Best,
rom

[zwabo]

Same problem on mine with this pedalboard.
Best

[jon]

Do you have the plugin updated?
Is any of you is able to try it in a n earlier MOD OS version? Does the behaviour still happen?

[Rom]

@jon

Do you have the plugin updated?

Yes

@jon

Is any of you is able to try it in a n earlier MOD OS version? Does the behaviour still happen?

Tried with 1.11, same problem

@jon you can’t reproduce it I suppose ?

[Rom]

another small problem here, I’ve made a Factory Reset (Factory Reset Images - MOD Wiki) with the 1.11.5.2860 to get my e-reader connect to the Dwarf via Bluetooth (asus BT500). And it works great !
After this I’ve updated to 1.12 RC3 and now the Dwarf tells me in the bluetooth settings the status : unsupported, and all the bluetooth devices I can test show no MOD Dwarf 01-00506 in the area.
Is the driver missing in this build ?

@jon

earlier MOD OS version?

I had to do a double take on this comment because I read it as “MS-DOS”

[mj_prod]

OT: Although not there yet, I can see MOD OS 3.11 coming.

Greetings and God bless, Marius

Sorry the late reply here. I still didn’t try it.
You are having it on the Dwarf, right? @zwabo do you also have it on the Dwarf?

@falkTX, any idea here? Was some part of the code left out by mistake?

[zwabo]

yes that’s with the Dwarf.

[Rom]

Can I re-add this driver myself or is it build too deep inside firmware ?
Are there any other BT drivers missing ? (I only have this BT500 dongle)

[fer]

Hi, yes it is possible. You just have to add the correct firmware like a WiFi dongle (I think it is explained in the wiki)

[fer]

@falkTX

@fer

Only my bluetooth 5 dongle is not working anymore. Will you include the rtl8761bu_fw.bin firmware file in the next RC??

We do not include any radio-like (bluetooth/wifi) firmware, at all.

If you have placed firmware on the dwarf user data, alike done with wifi, it will remain across updates unless you factory reset it.

…

[Rom]

Hmm, I have no /data/firmware/ folder on the Dwarf on RC3 ! A clean-up command line in the update had wiped this folder ?

[Rom]

I’m unable to copy anything to the Dwarf, at firt it seams okay :

(Temp.zip contains rtl8761a_fw.bin + rtl8761b_config.bin + rtl8761b_fw.bin + rtl8761bu_config.bin + rtl8761bu_fw.bin)

But in the Dwarf I don’t see anything :

Not sure it’s a RC problem, I have not test this before ! (never had the need)
