miniDSP Device Console (DC) Software ChangeLog
The following Software ChangeLog summarizes the changes made to the miniDSP Device Console (DC). As a reminder, please note that XMOS and DSP firmware are now packaged together inside the miniDSP DC and that you may be requested to upgrade your firmware in order to use the latest version of miniDC. With the Over The Air (OTA) updates, miniDSP DC will automatically trigger a prompt for upgrade to fix some specific bugs or add new features for any of the supported platforms. Please read the following ChangeLOG for more details.

For those affected by the false DSP Error from prior version, we recommend: 1) update the DC to get the new firmwares on the computer. 2) Then open session to their 2x4HD/DDRC-24/SHD. You will be prompted to recover the error by programming either firmwares. Now choose XMOS firmware to update. It will program the new one and reboot. The false alarm should no longer appear.

- Details
DSP Firmware
- [All Models] Noise performance improvement on filter response for IIR filters
- [All Models] Noise performance improvement on filter response for IIR filters
- [All Models] Volume control moved before ASRC in DSP chain to help against potential distortion caused by intersample peaks
XMOS Firmware
- [All Models] More informative messages will be displayed on screen instead of DSP FAIL. The DeviceConsole will provide the necessary recovery steps.
- [SHD, Flex, Flex-8] OLED Display will turn off after idle for a user-specified period of time. Brightness when the display is ON can also be set. These settings are now available in the Device Console under 'Display Settings' for each model.
- [SHD, Flex, Flex-8] miniDSP Logo now appears during boot-up
Dirac:
- Fixed a bug of Dirac software error that occurred if users gave a long non-English (UTF-8) name string to a filter slot.
GUI Changes:
- Left Side Menu can be shown or hidden. (Refer to the View menu)
- Fixed bug where Volumio-Version-Checker periodic checking keeps on stacking up alert dialogs.
- Resize to fit content when program window is 'maximized' and 'unmaximized'
- Improvement on device reboot sequence
- Device sessions closes gracefully.
- Display a error dialog with suggested recovery-steps when the number of retries getting device identification exceeded maximum.
- Removed the UAC-2 Version-Checking
- Device Console can upgrade 2x4HD/DDRC-24 XMOS firmware from as low as v1.18.
- Fixed bug where the preset names are copied to other presets during Reset-All.
- Changes made to Preset Name now take effect immediately.
- Offer a method to recover if DSP information is corrupted.
- Improved the button alignments in the DSP context menu
- [Template Device] 'Dummy' RMS Meter now changes within a limited range, and actually respond to 'Mute' button.

21/09/2023 - Rev 1.1.12
- Details
XMOS Firmware (v1.62)
- [SHD, 2x4HD/DDRC-24] - Fixing the false DSP-Error flag
Device Console
- [SHD, 2x4HD/DDRC-24] - Fixing the false DSP-Error flag
Device Console
- Fixed a potential problem that after XMOS firmware update completed - the device does not restart as instructed. Require power-cycling manually.
For those affected by the false DSP Error from prior version, we recommend: 1) update the DC to get the new firmwares on the computer. 2) Then open session to their 2x4HD/DDRC-24/SHD. You will be prompted to recover the error by programming either firmwares. Now choose XMOS firmware to update. It will program the new one and reboot. The false alarm should no longer appear.

Improvements / Changes:
- The relevant Help-Topic (Device Console Migration) will show up when user chooses to download the migration package.
- Show Progress-Bar at Taskbar Icon to indicate download-progress of DC-update.
- User Dialog from application-updates stays in front of the program, making it harder to miss.
Bug Fixes:
- Avoid delay in commands due to a build-up of Level meter reads.
- Include 'Dirac License Purchase' help topic at Dirac Upgrade Page, instead of only the License-Activation.
