4.0.0_b9

Hey!
here's a new beta for the 4.x serie.
it's available for each supported platform.

it's a big step forward as it introduce concept/basics for moving light, Leds, and whatever you need in :Light.
Specifically it introduces 'DLinks' wich are more or less (actually less than more) like MLinks but for registered devices.

DLinks acts like this:
-you set all parameters you need for devices (with palette it's better)
-you record a cue and DLinks are attached to the step that contain the cue
-you can edit/modify/create/remove DLinks form the editor wich is available (for now... I've forget to set an option in the menus....) by click on the corresponding column in the sequence.
-when DLink are loaded in X2, if the channel is black they're processed (this behavior is called GO_IN_B on some ligthdesk)

-this is a special feature of DL: when a channel under TGroup control is fading to black, if DLink attached to next step is referring to this channel, parameters are processed.
it fits very well for theater I think....

-DLinks are not attached to cues, cues only contain Dimmer Parameter of devices (if they exists)
-editors (like GROUP, CUE, SUB) does not deal with devices parameters.


so,
please keep in mind that it's a work in progress...
please report any wrong behavior (specifically regarding cue_goto or identical functions where sequence is modified)
also, please tell in your opinion what can be improve and how... (for example, it'll be easy in the future to sample devices, but i don't know how to display recorded informations...)

I didn't work yet on MIDI commands and only perform test from my keyboard.

next week I'm on tour, the week after I'll be able to continue the job....

enjoy,
++
