Jan 16th, 2010	3.0 29a5	UR30 .29 racing engine has been completely rewritten to manage digital & RC races, and be more modular to integrate quickly the tremendous number of worldwide requests.  Many enhancements have been added in this release: new GUI: complete integration of the track layout editor and the race manager manage digital & RC races. Few RMS engines are managed in .29 but it's growing. At this time: Ninco (Power Base & Multilane) & Davic. USB serial port and game controller handling "tournaments" renamed "races" and "races" renamed "heats" intermediary lap time managed all heat screens (including abort, cancellation...) can be customized at your own with the editor heat settings can be created & saved to be reused many more sound options for circuit, drivers and slot cars Phidget #1014 tremendous new race options: section management, driver pane sort, crash & burn pit stop managed by two sensors or only one at your convenience and many more surprises... Many worldwide slot racers pushed me to publish this release, eventhought I was relunctant to, but the slot car must go on! This alpha release still contains glitches. Some of them have been raised after this packaging completion. Some other are under integration. Opened topics: on-line help is out of date wizzards are not completed the report and FTP publication engine may generate defect reports This release is the first achievement of a lot of work. Fixes will follow up soon. Thx for your understanding.
