Hi Folks;


Astro IIDC 4.06.00 Alpha 8 Universal Binary for OSX 10.4 or higher (1.4 megabyte download) is now available:


http://www.outcastsoft.com/Prototype/AstroIIDC40600A8_20100715.zip


The "User manual" .pdf is not embedded in the App for the Alphas / Betas to save space.


This release adds USB2 / 3 support for PGR Cameras (Chameleon testing is on going), adds support for the PixeLink cameras (A and B series), adds a new Apple script command ("Grab Average Frame"), resolves some issues with long exposure timing (pthreads VS timers) and cleans up some issues.


Changes and new features are listed in "READMEFIRST40600 A8.rtfd", which I STRONGLY recommend you read before asking questions.


These are the last planned changes and there are no more new features to be added. I'm starting on the manual re-write which likely will stretch into late August / September.


So test as much as possible so we can shake out any bugs.
