DP 8.01 is released!

[MIDI Life Crisis]

Hey-- 8.01: something else to be thankful for!

This is pretty cool.

Cool? It's HOT baby!

Weird. Motu.com's download section says there are no updates available for my account. And I even checked to make sure my copy of DP8 is registered and it is....

I had the same problem,called MOTU and Lorne sent me the link,they're looking into it.
Lorne looked in my account and saw some users are not being notified and see no available update in their account,this seems to be some kind of glitch they should correct.
Maybe a call to MOTU is in order.
Updated.......I wonder if that means the Window release is approaching?

When I logged in on the front page, it would not show me the link, no matter how I came at it.

But when I logged out, and asked the program for the update, it took me to an internal log-in page. When I logged in there, the link showed up.

Man, that was quick! MOTU rocks.

Thanks Gravity Jim, that finally worked for me.

Hey! The updater didn't create a second copy of DP.... it just left one application in the folder, and it's DP 8.01. Didn't it always used to make a new one, and then you'd have to throw the old one away?

Yes it used to be like that.. Strange.. I like the fact we always could go back and forth between new and old versions..

Hope this will be enabled again.

Rename the old one before installing the new one

It is a bit surprising & I do hope later updates let us have both the current and the updated DP in case there are problems but who ever stays in a .0 release?

Pleeeeease... tell me the keyboard bug is gone...

The Keyboard Focus Bug is GONE! It runs great! MOTU fixed everything as far as I can see, and it's running molto perfecto on my system!

Thanks, MOTU, for a great update to great version of DP!

Copy the old version before updating.

I can confirm this on my system as well!

WOW! Scrolling is SO much smoother. I love it! This is something I've been waiting for forever. No more jerky scrolling. Plus full-screen mode is awesome! THANKS MOTU!!!

Name the original DP 8 install "Digital Performer 8.0.app", this will avoid the updated version from wiping out the old one. For some reason, Motu stopped putting the version numbers on the app icon. Like you RG, I like the option of being able to go back to the older version if necessary.

How is OSX 10.6.8 and DP 8.01 running now?

Is the monitor meter issue in 32 bit mode fixed??

Thanx.

It's becoming pretty standard for OSX app names to not include a version number any more (see pretty much all Apple stuff). My guess the above is a result of MOTU conforming to this.
