Toolkit 1.8.0 Released

Hi,

Toolkit 1.8.0 (Koala) has been released. You can find it at the CIS Downloads page: http://www2.clipsal.com/cis/technical/downloads/

If you are upgrading from 1.6.x-1.7.x or already have the latest Java installed you may instead click on "Show alternate download" to download the Partial Installer as this is much smaller.

Major Changes

New units support

1. Pro+ Dimmer (DIMPR3A, DIMPR6A, DIMPR12A)
2. New Temperature Sensor (SENTEMPB)

Application UI

1. Faster, more efficient main application window
2. If a node dialog has a list view, this list view can be customised. Columns can be hidden/shown; “Best fit” can be applied; sort order defined.
3. Toolbars can be customised (right mouse click on any toolbar and select "Customize"). I.e. buttons hidden/shown and their position changed. All changes can be Reset on the same configuration dialog.
4. Multi-select. Several or all (Ctrl+A) items can be selected in each list view and particular actions can be applied to the selection. For example, the selection of networks, applications, groups, levels or units can be deleted with a single Del key press. A selection of groups can be set to On or Off at once, selected units transferred, etc.
5. Groups now can be set not only to On or Off, but can be ramped or set to a selected level. Enable Control and Trigger Control groups can also be set to levels.
6. All toolbar buttons have new graphics.

Add Groups

Add Multiple Groups dialog has been reworked to allow faster addition of groups and also copying of groups from Excel or CSV file using clipboard.
