Chameleon Gears Release Notes

Version 1.0.0.51

• Update the About dialog graphic

Version 1.0.0.47

• Elections:

  • Fixed bug that lowercased all the scene tag names. This causes custom tags with non-active parts to be lowercased.

• UI fix to 'Starting XPression' panel to make the text backgrounds transparent.

Version 1.0.0.39

• Ticker:

  • fix publishing branding assets in the ticker tab after project publish name is modified

  • add option to delete assets no longer in project when publishing Branding Assets from Ticker projects

Version 1.0.0.38

Version 1.0.0.36

• Ticker :

  • fix duplicating assets when re-publishing branding assets in ticker tab

Version 1.0.0.35

• Ticker :

  • fix the anchoring on the publish branding assets checkbox in the ticker tab when the dialog is resized

Version 1.0.0.34

• Ticker :

  • check if the scene metadata contains a sceneType attribute with the value asset and then publish the scene as an asset

  • add a “publish branding assets” checkbox in ticker tab to control if any asset scenes in the project (scenes that have a sceneType metadata value of asset) should be published or not

Version 1.0.0.33

• Elections: check metadata for an optional tag attribute that defines the Elections tag to map to as an alternative to using the object name

Version 1.0.0.32

• Branding : check scene metadata for an optional attribute named “sceneType” and if present will only publish those that have a value of "asset" so we can filter out any Ticker specific scenes from shared projects

Version 1.0.0.31

• Branding : Fixes a branding publish error introduced in version 1.0.28

Version 1.0.0.30

• Ticker & Branding : check metadata for an optional tag attribute that defines the Chameleon/Tick-It tag to map to instead of only relying on the object name

Version 1.0.0.28

• Branding:

  • fix updating Branding Asset scene tag names with time format when the format case is changed. ( e.g.: from ^next[1].time[h:mm] to ^next[1].time[H:mm] )

Version 1.0.0.27

• Elections:

  • All scene tags will now register their tag info in elc_scenetag.

  • Changed project/scene naming convention in the Name field of the elc_scene table to only save the the sub-folder paths up to and including the XPression project folder. In older versions, the filename (with .xpf extension) was also included in the contents of the Name field. This change is necessitated by the support of the Elections Player for Chameleon which uses the Chameleon API to support both Web and XPression playout via the Ticker Player. Ticker Player only loads graphics files that have the same name as the project folder (which contains the graphics file).
