1.0.41 (1.1 "preview release 3")
--------------------------------
- Adds "non show playlist" to Borealis (WPL or ASX format)
  Note: Use http://centova.xltrax.com/tunein.php/csmith/playlist.asx for 2008 PC radio
- Adds Borealis playback option to end after current song instead of after entire show loop
- Adds progress bar to decompile during file/open
- Adds "Refresh Points" to file compilation
  (intended as a workaround to clear firmware stuck/misfired channels)
- Adds auto-conversion of < 0.15s ramps to intensity rendered "pop" effect
  (intended as workaround to firmware misrendering of these events)
- Fixes Borealis doesn't report show stop in status bar after it happens
- Improves visualizer rendering of curtain strobes (faster fire rate)
- Minor adjustments to Borealis heartbeat timing

Some outstanding issues with the arch drawing tool (we though we had them fixed but recently found another bug) have kept this from being labelled 1.1. 

Important: Read This:
If you are running 1.0.32 or 1.0.33 and are happy with it (don't need anything listed above) then stick with it as this is a non-essential upgrade.  There is no need to risk taking your show down if you are happy with 1.0.32.  If you do need one of the above items, then continue reading.  You must fully uninstall all previous versions of Aurora (from Control Panel Add/Remove Programs) then reboot before installing this version.

	will this fix my Candy cane issue that I had in another thread? I believe the fast ramps were the issue. Do I completely uninstall and then reinstall? Slink

	LC is correct on the amount of emphasis given to that sentence.

	Alright, and so this converts <.15sec ramps to blinks of some sort, right? We have a large show tonight... BUT would really like the few notes that are missing. AFTER the uninstall, reboot, and install, do all sequences must be opened and re-saved?

	While I'm asking, and since it is clearly so important. SHOULD the entire Aurora Directory be deleted after uninstall (after backing up audio and sequences)?

	After uninstalling, I usually wipe out everything in the Aurora directory except the Cache folder and Registration file; then do a reboot.

	You will need to open and resave your sequences to get the new "pop" ramps. Wiping out the entire directory after uninstall shouldn't be necessary, but it certainly would not hurt to remove the DLL and EXE files.
