Nutcracker: Releases

[smeighan]

I will use this thread to post new releases.

So there is a new release today. For those with a localhost install you need to  get both the zip file from github and also re-install the database.

Before re-installing the database on your localhost
either
1) Screen print any changes to effects or targets that you might have made locally
OR
2) Copy the same changes from your local machine into meighan.net. Every few days i take an export of meighan.net and put it into the zip file from github.

OCT 13 Release
In this change:
1) Projects now process single_strand effects
2) Added new column into EFFECTS_USER_HDR. New column is effect_id. We are working on making an export of Nutcracker effects so that they can be shared. xLights will soon have the ability to use this file.
3) Increased memory for an effect from 512M to 1024M
4) Added more error checks to check for the existence of a file before we try to open it.
5) On projects generation table, the elapsed time each effect took is now shown


So the two steps with this release is get a new zip file and re-install the database


5) You now need to get a copy of the current Nutcracker code tree. Go to
