Hi all,

This release addresses all known Leopard compatibility problems.

The MIDI String Cue is also included in this release (available from  
the update manager).  This plugin is a free upgrade for all current  
Pro MIDI license holders.

Relevant release notes for 1.3.2 may be found below.

Thanks,
Christopher


NOTE:  Apple has still not fixed the QuickTime bug introduced in  
QuickTime 7.2.x that prevents QLab from properly playing video on  
multiple graphics cards, e.g. on a Mac Pro.  If you require driving  
multiple displays/projectors from multiple graphics cards, you must  
stay at Quicktime 7.1.3 or 7.1.6 on OS 10.4.    (Actually, some video  
formats do work.  I've tested some AVI and Animation codec videos that  
do display on multiple cards successfully.  But not everything does.   
This bug is acknowledged by Apple and we're still waiting on a fix.)

This version of the video plugin has been tested against the following  
OS / QuickTime combinations: 10.4.9 / 7.1.3,  10.4.9 / 7.1.6,   
10.4.9 / 7.2,  10.4.10 / 7.1.6,  10.4.10 / 7.2,  10.5.0 / 7.2.1.


FIXED
=====
* Leopard compatibility: Fixed an issue where warnings would be  
printed at startup.
* Leopard compatibility: Fixed the Sound Cue to prevent a large number  
of console messages to be printed during playback, which could lead to  
stuttering and glitching.  [#317]
* Leopard compatibility: Fixed a problem where key shortcuts could not  
be used to edit a cue duration "inline" in the workspace.
* Video Cue: An initial white frame will no longer appear with still  
images on QuickTime 7.1.6. / 7.2 / 7.2.1.
* Video Cue: Fixed a memory leak that could lead to poor performance  
and crashes with workspaces consisting of a very large numbers of  
Video Cues.
* Fade Cue: When copying and pasting Fade Cues, the levels are no  
longer reset to the target cue's levels. [#316]
* Fade Cue: When copying and pasting levels between Fade Cues, the  
duration of the cue is no longer set to zero. [#316]

CHANGED
=======
* The levels of a Fade Cue will no longer automatically be set from  
the target when assigning a target.  This fixes a bug (described  
above) and allows you to set up templates of Fade Cues to re-use.  You  
can still assign levels from the target using the new Tools menu item  
"Set Levels from Target".

ADDED
=====
* MIDI String Cue, for sending raw SysEx MIDI messages. [#134]
* Fade Cue "Set Levels from Target" tool.  (Requires Enhanced Audio  
License.)
* The number of cues in the current cue list is displayed at the  
bottom of the workspace.
* Multiple files dragged from the Finder will now be added in  
alphabetical order to the workspace.
* Expanded documentation.
