Myriad v3.6 Software Update Information

You can get the latest software updates as well as Technical Support by visiting the P Squared Website at http://support.psquared.net/ or the P Squared Forum at http://forum.psquared.net/

v3.6.6

The following issues have been fixed:
•	Log Playout: Items with a Fade ending would sometimes not be 'ducked' when followed by a Voice Link.
•	Log Display: When first starting Myriad, several areas were not coloured correctly.

v3.6.3

Audio Wall Changes:
•	When adding a range of items to the list you are now asked if you want the list shuffled.

Audio Player Changes:
•	Added detection and automatic configuration for the Echo AudioFire range of soundcards.

Myriad Intelligent Interface Changes (SRM):
•	There are 2 new options that allow you to control the behaviour of the 'Fader Start' buttons on the channels. You can now set the button to Recue instead of Pause when playing in Preview mode (fader closed) and also the same for in normal play mode - i.e. fader open.

Log Display Changes:
•	There are 2 new Log Display Customise Options -"Display Cart Numbers on the Log" and "Display Edited Times on the Log" 

Log Playback Changes:
•	Previously only Audio Items with a "Fade" ending were faded using AutoFade and ForceFade. Items with a "Slow Fade" ending are also now faded.
•	Pressing Play on a Player in "Preview" mode (for example because the Fader is down/closed) no longer behaves the same as pressing "GO" on the Log (causing the Log to move on to the next item)

Log Editing Changes:
•	Voicelink and Triple SegEdit items now have a yellow "+" symbol with a "3" overlaid (regardless of your Customised Log Item Segue Icon Type) to indicate they are available in the triple SegEdit window.
•	You can now MOVE VoiceLinks and Triple SegEdit items by dragging them as with other Log Items. When you do this, any custom segue positioning you have made to that item is lost as they obviously only refered to it's previous position.
•	You can now delete VoiceLinks and Triple SegEdit items by dragging them onto the trash can.

Import Wizard Changes:
•	The Import Wizard can now also load lists of Audio files to import from "Tab Separated Value" files (.tsv extension) 
•	CSV and TSV files can now contain Category information.
•	Added Improved handling and time format detection when importing from CSV and TSV format files.
•	When using a TSV or CSV file, you can now add a hypen as a suffix to a timing field to indicate that any "Audio Start" (aka "Trim Start") has already been taken into account on this field - for example RCS's RunTime field is the value of "Next To Play" with the "Trim Start" already subtracted, so the Import Wizard does not need to do the subtraction again.

Import Audio Changes:
•	Enterprise Users: RMS normalisation now has a "Peak Hit" Detector that prevents audio from being 'over-normalised' resulting in distorted audio.

Myriad Manager Changes:
•	You can now filter the Cart Report to only show you carts that don't have a Content Type.

Emergency Recovery Tool Changes:
•	The Recovery Tool now doesn't check to see if the Data Location etc. are valid when it loads up to speed up startup time when needing to reconfigure due to a network server loss etc.

The following issues have been fixed:
•	Audiowall : Running the "Verify all carts are..." tool would cause Myriad to exit if Peak Files were disabled

v3.6.2

Cart Changes:
•	You can now store much longer Web Notes and other Copyright details (up to 32,768 characters) where previously you were limited to 256 characters.

Log Changes:
•	Segue Editor: You can now record a Voice Link into an Absolute times and Commands.

The following issues have been fixed:
•	Audiowall : The Home button was not working.
•	Log Editing: (Enterprise users) Myriad would exit if right click>Insert Song or Insert Link.
•	Segue Editor: You couldn't record a Voice link adjacent to a Script item.
•	Segue Editor: Editing the 'Current' On-Air item would not alter the end segue type to "Auto" (i.e. Green dot), and any Early fades added were not honoured.
•	SmoothEdit: Several issues have been fixed that caused Myriad to exit when scrolling around audio whilst it was playing out in Full Edit Mode.

v3.6.1

Important Changes: This version of Myriad marks a major update to the Myriad product and contains several changes to existing behaviour that you should consider before deploying this version. Full details are given below, but a brief summary of the most important changes are:

•	Enterprise Licensing : The way Myriad Enterprise is licensed has changed, you will need to contact licenses@psquared.net to obtain new License codes.
•	Audio File Linking : As previously announced the options to Link a Cart to a separate Audio File have now been fully removed.
•	TCP/IP Command Changes : TCP/IP Commands no longer have a trailing CR LF sequence auto-appended. If you did not add these when creating the command you will need to append these in Edit Command.
•	Nexus Changes : due to changes in the way Myriad operates, existing versions of Nexus will not recieve all the currently playing information from Myriad (i.e. Scripts)
•	Segue Editor : The Segue Editor has been significantly re-written and editing Segues is now much easier, but does operate in a slightly different way to earlier versions of Myriad.
•	Log Changes : Each hour added to the Log by Myriad or the Log Importer now has an Hour-End marker at the end. This does not affect the way Myriad operates, but is important for future work including AutoTrack v3.6
•	OCP-Direct: Local OCP has been renamed to OCP-Direct

Accessibility Changes (Experimental):
•	Myriad has a brand new feature specifically aimed at partially sighted and blind users - it now has the ability to announce (using speech synthesis) the currently highlit item on the Audiowall, the Log and the Database window. This uses the Voices installed as part of your Operating System, for example Microsoft Sam and Microsoft Mary. There are new settings in Audio Settings>Advanced and Customise Myriad>Myriad Preferences that control these features. Typically this is set up to use an soundcard output (for instance an onboard sound card) that is not routed to air but is instead routed to either studio monitoring or to headphones.

Nexus Changes:
•	Due to internal changes in the way Myriad communicates with other applications, some information will not be displayed in Nexus - for example Log Scripts. 

Myriad Intelligent Interface:
•	This is the first version of Myriad to support the Myriad Intelligent Interface which allows Myriad aware Mixers and Audio Devices to be controlled by Myriad and to provide feedback about their current state.
•	The first supported device is the P Squared SRM Audio Mixer please contact P Squared for more information about this groundbreaking product.

Licensing Changes:
•	Myriad now has a 30 minute evalation mode. If you have not yet entered valid License Details, or if your license code has expired you can now run Myriad for 30 minutes at a time, up to 30 times. This is usefull for evaluating Myriad prior to purchase, but also if you have let your license code expire and need to urgently get back up and running whilst you contact P Squared Licensing.

Audiowall Changes:
•	The Start and End Cart numbers in the Find Audiowall window are now saved in your preferences so will be remembered when you login and out.
•	The More Jumps list is now refreshed each time you open the window, instead of only when you login to Myriad.

SmoothEdit Changes:
•	Pitch Shift has been added to the Toolbar.
•	The Highlight colour has changed as previously it could clash with some Marker colours in some Colour Schemes
•	Artist Picture Search: There is a new button in the Picture area that will open an Internet search for pictures of the Artist performing that piece of Audio. Once you have found an image you want to use (and assuming you have permission of the Copyright Holder) you then need to right click->Save Picture and then import the picture using the import button. There are settings in Global AudioWall Settings to control what search engine is used to perform this search.

Database Changes:
•	A 'Year' column has been added to the Database display.
•	When using the "Fill Database from Categorised carts...." option, any carts set as 'Sweeps' are now added as Sweepers so when dragged into the Log they are added with a Sweep ending.
•	The option to Import 'Legacy' information from AutoTrack v2 has been removed.

Log Changes:
•	Improved Segue Editor: The Segue Editor has been significantly improved and now allows 'free sliding' of the items within the segue - making it much more intuitive when adjusting a 2 or 3 part Segue. It also shows a much clearer indication when segediting a triple seg edit or across the end of an hour.
•	SegEditing AutoHooks and unscheduled Advert Breaks: You can now segue into and out of AutoHooks and unscheduled Advert Breaks as well as Split Cart Groups and Split Advert Breaks. With AutoHooks you are played the 'in' or 'out' of the Hook as appropriate, with Unscheduled or Split items the Segue Editor Display shows a simulated block allowing to alter the segue despite not having any audio available for that item,
•	"Hour Ends" now added to Log: Every hour added by Myriad or by the Log Importer now has an Hour End as well as an Hour Start. This makes it much easier to add items to the end of the hour particularly when working with the last hour in the log. Please note that at present AutoTrack v3.1 does not currently send "Hour Ends" to the log.
•	The Day is now displayed on the Clock Strip as well as the date and time of the currently highlit hour.
•	Cart Browser: The "Find" Text is now cleared when you click the "Jump" button.
•	The "Convert Log Item to Voice Link" option has been renamed to "Convert Log Item To Triple Segedit - e.g. Swept Voice Link". It also behaves differently so that Sweepers (+ symbol) are now converted to show the same way they would have played, whilst other types (red square/green circle) are converted to show as 3 items in a row with only the normal 'extro' for overlap. Obviosuly you can then alter the segue to however you want it to sound.
•	The "Convert To Triple Segedit..." option now follows the database setting to cue at Intro Start/End etc. instead of always cueing to intro end.
•	When playing a Voice Link set to start at the beginning of a song, it is now 'pre-cued' along with the song rather than only cueing just prior to playback.
•	The "Myriad Settings" option to "Display the Mini-Segue Editor at the bottom of the log" has been renamed to "Display the Information panel next to the log" and is displayed in a new 'Log Display Options' section

Myriad Standard Changes:
•	If you attempt to open an Audiowall that has been configured using Myriad Enterprise with the "Store each Cart's information in Master Cart List Files..." option turned OFF then Myriad will refuse to open the Audiowall and prompt you to turn that option off (via Global Audiowall Settings>Advanced) and then run the Audiowall Verification. This is because Myriad Standard does not support this option and may cause carts to be overwritten or lost without any warning.

Enterprise Changes:
•	Improved Segue Editor: There is a new button on the Segue Editor that allows you to "pop-out" the Segue into a floating window making it much easier to edit complicated Segues.
•	There is a new option in Myriad Settings>Station Database Tab to ALWAYS use the Pop-Out Segue editor when clicking the Segue button on the Log tabstrip.
•	By default, the Log Information Panel is no longer displayed. You can turn it back on in Myriad Settings>Station Database Settings. The Setup Wizard now sets new computers configured as Admin or Production computers to show the Log Information Panel.
•	Cart Kill Dates are now stored in (and read from) Cart Chunk. This information is stored in the TagText parameter in XML DateTime format in a section titled <KILLDATE>
•	Dashboard: Sweepers and Voice Links that play within the intro of the currently playing item are now displayed in a pop-in box on the left hand side. This shows the title of the sweeper, the player it's using and the number of seconds until it starts.
•	Dashboard Improvements: If the current item has a 'Stop' at the end, it is now displayed 'greyed' out when it finishes playing.
•	RMS Audio Normalisation: You can now configure your Global Audiowall Settings to use RMS normalisation instead of Peak Normalisation. The RMS method used is based on the ReplayGain standard, but permanently modifies the audio (to enforce compatibilty with older versions of Myriad/Scoop/AutoTrack etc.) in a very similar way to WaveGain.
•	Licensing Changes: The way license codes for Enterprise are issued has changed. You will need a new license code from P Squared before you can use this version.

Other Changes:
•	OCP-Direct: OCP-Direct is the new name for the older 'Local OCP' function. The feature still works in exactly the same way, but the name has been changed to reduce confusion. There are also a few more 'Notes' explaining the difference between OCP-Direct and using Advanced On-Air Control.
•	Ejecting from Cart Player: If you have the option turned on to Fade carts when pressing the Eject key, the first press starts the fade out, a second press then ejects the cart immediately. This behaviour is therefore now the same as clicking the Eject button on screen.
•	File Locations Window This has been redesigned - you now have to 'Set' the first Cart Location before you can alter any of the other settings. The Emergency Recovery Tool also now uses this same window.
•	Audio File Linking : As previously announced the options to Link a Cart to a separate Audio File have now been fully removed.
•	Genesys Audio Import: Additional support has been added to handle importing Intro and Extro markers from Genesys.
•	BSI WaveStation/Cart Audio Import: Additional support has been added to handle importing Title and Artist information from BSI WaveStation/Cart audio files.
•	Audiowall Import Normalisation Settings: These settings (in Global Audiowall Settings) have been rearranged to better represent how the settings are used and also to show that the type of Normalisation is Peak normalisation.
•	PC Standby Mode: Myriad prevents Windows from going into Standby Power mode.
•	There is a new option on the Audio Settings Window>Advanced tab "Display the Player Buttons in double height (ideal for touchscreen use)" - this doubles the height of the Cart Player buttons making them easier to see and in particular Press for touch screen users. If you previously used the Optimise for Touch Screen option to give you double height buttons then you will need to turn this option on.
•	There is a new option on the Audio Settings Window>Advanced tab "Display Captions on the Player Buttons (Recommended for 1280x1024 or higher only)" - this shows text captions on the Player buttons instead of graphical Icons. We recommend using this option if you are using a P Squared SRM Audio Mixer.
•	There are new Accessibility options available in the Hardware Manager - these allow you to control automatic scrolling/stepping up and down the AudioWall as well as automatic play of highlighted items. Please contact P Squared for more information about these options.
•	If you have more than 1 Game Device installed, you can now choose which one you want to use in the Hardware Manager.
•	The Log Display "Dragger" (used to drag items from the AudioWall to the Log across multiple Touch Screens has been removed.
•	Shortcuts have been added to the Start Menu for the Log Importer File Formats.
•	Debug Files: further changes to improve these being created in a DebugFiles in the root of the Boot drive instead of fixed as the root of the C: drive

The following issues have been fixed:
•	Log Playout: Advert REC files were not always being written if you were using Simple On-Air Control or Always On-Air mode.
•	Log Playout: Fixed a problem with Early Fade Outs not being performed on some swept audio.
•	Log Timing: The Over/underrun timing was not being calculated correctly if you had a Script between a sweeper and the following song.
•	Log Display: The Log Text colour was not being used. Instead the Log was always displaying with black text, except the timing which would change colour.
•	Log Display: The "A-FADE" caption on Hour Start bars was clashing into the second line of the Log Item.
•	Log Editing: When editing the Log, you could drag an item into very end of the Current Hour even if you did not have permissions to edit the 'On-Air' hour.
•	If you dragged an item from the Log into a cart player, then deleted the item from the log and replaced with a new item, clicking play on the original item int the player would cause Myriad to act as if you had pressed Log Go.
•	Peak Files for Live Recordings: Myriad now carries out the Peak File creation a fraction slower to allow you to do minor other tasks whilst they are being created (for example changing the end type of a log item etc.)
•	SmoothEdit: The option to "Convert the File to another audio format" was not working correctly to convert PCM to IMA ADPCM.
•	Item Display: Fixed a problem with Separations not displaying correctly if an Item or Artist had only been scheduled once.
•	Commands: IP strings were always being sent with a CR LF sequence at the end even if you hadn't added one. You must now explicitly put a Carriage return in the Edit Command window if you want one to be sent.
•	Hardware Cards: Assigning a Gameport to Hardware Card 2 or 3 would only work if you had more than 1 game device installed.
•	Enterprise Dashboard: While an item was running from the Log if you switched to standby and back again it would display the item twice in the Dashboard
•	Enterprise Dashboard: Several instances of text overwriting the Ending and Intro information have been corrected.
•	Pad: When sending a Pad to a single Player, the Audio volume was being reset to 100% even if your 'General Volume' was set differently.
•	Pad: If the Pad was runnign and was waiting at a Pause at the very end of the run, Myriad would exit if you double clicked on the Pause, or attempted to add an item below it.
•	Voice link lengths: These were shown as 0 seconds long in the log if the link was due to be completely contained within the intro of the next song
•	Importing Audio: When importing new audio files, the 'Artists' line is now left blank instead of being set to (Imported)
•	Arabic text: Arabic was not displaying correctly in the Find Cart window and in some Cart players
•	Myriad Manager: You could alter AutoTrack Permission settings but they were not always saved
•	Emergency Recovery Tool: The Myriad Settings were not always being saved.

Previous Version of Myriad (Myriad v3.5):

v3.5.17

AudioWall:
•	Finding: There is a new option to allow you to limit the Find range between 2 cart numbers - ideal for larger Audiowalls
•	Performance when using Individual Cart List files has been improved by around 66% 
•	Added special handling when using Individual Cart List files for sites using a mix of PCs running Windows XP and Windows 7 

Log Display:
•	There are new right click options - Cut, Copy, Paste and Swap to quickly rearrange items in the Log. You can also use the keyboard shortcuts Ctrl+X, Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V, Ctrl+W
•	There are new Macro commands LOG ITEM CUT, LOG ITEM COPY, LOG ITEM PASTE, LOG ITEM SWAP and LOG ITEM DELETE
•	There is a new Refresh icon on the Time bar which updates the Log timing for the currently highlit hour. This is the same as right clicking on the Hour Start and choosing the option there.
•	Dashboard: There is a new refresh icon on the Dashboard Timing bar to update the Log timing for the Current hour.
•	Dashboard: The Dashboard now updates which cart players items are cued into if the cart is closed and/or re-cued.

Waveform Display:
•	Previously Previews waveforms were automatically scaled to fit the maximum height of the window. They are now left un-scaled to better reflect the actual volume of the audio.

Other Changes:
•	Debug Files: by default these are now created in a DebugFiles in the root of the Boot drive instead of fixed as the root of the C: drive
•	The Aero Warning has been removed.
•	The SPLIT Macro command format has changed - see the Myriad Command Reference document for more information.
•	Added extra handling for Advantech cards that are slow to respond to hardware line instructions

The following issues have been fixed:
•	In Myriad, quickly switching back and forth between main tabs (for instance by dragging over the tabs) could cause the tabs to start alternating between the 2 selected tabs. 
•	In the Database view, no search results would be displayed if you clicked a category that contained an apostrophe - i.e "1980's"
•	When "ripping" CD's the audio was not always being "Topped" 

v3.5.16

The biggest new feature in this release of Myriad is the inclusion of Waveforms in various places. These are displayed in the Segue Editor and optionally on the Cart Players (you have to turn these on via a Customise option) and also on the SmoothEdit display when you open a cart for "details" only. For more details about each new feature please read the sections below. These displays work by using a 'Peak File' which is a high level graph of the Audio (not a sample-accurate representation) and is stored in a 'PeakFiles' subfolder of the Audiowall.

Important changes to 'Linked' audio files: The option to Link carts to audio files is no longer available as this feature has been deprecated. Existing carts will still work, but no new ‘links’ can be added. If you have this option activated you will still see the option in Global Audiowall Settings, but if you turn it off you cannot then re-activate it. It is likely that future releases of P Squared Products will no longer be able to use ANY linked carts, so you should plan to import all of your audio files directly onto the Audiowall.

General Changes:
•	There is a new Colour Scheme Preset : 'Silver'
•	Previous versions of Myriad would automatically open the audio for editing in SmoothEdit. The default for this Customise option ("Open Audio files for editing immediately") has been changed to only open the file for preview. This is because loading the Waveform is much faster than the audio, and the majority of users only need to use SmoothEdit to set Intros/Extros etc. You can of course simply turn this option back on if you prefer.
•	There is a new Tools menu option in Myriad and Myriad Manager "Cart Player Maintenance". This is a simple menu that allows you to selectively eject any cart players that have a cart loaded. This option is useful for some screen readers.
•	You can now change the order that the main Myriad Tabs are displayed in - for example you might move Instant Carts to be the top tab. In dual screen systems, the Log is always displayed on the right hand monitor, and SmoothEdit is always displayed at the bottom of the left hand tabs
•	There is a new option in Myriad Settings>Station Database Settings>"Show Song and Link Recent history..." that allows you turn off the display of the recent scheduling history for items. This is useful for users with very large or slow Log Databases.
•	There is a new Myriad Setting>Audiowall Settings option to "Display the 'Pad' pane in wide-mode" - this displays the Pad wider than usual so you can see more of the Title/Artist information
•	When exporting the Pad to a single cart, the Audiowall Browser now jumps straight to the first available cart in the Personal Edit Range of the logged on user.
•	You can now import 'End Types' and Hook Start and End times via the Import Wizard when using CSV and Excel files. 
•	The Import Wizard now ignores "Page feed" characters inserted by some report generators
•	The Audiowall Verification Tool now checks to make sure 'Individual Cart List Files' are in sync with the 'Master Cart List Files'. The Verification process has also been sped up by only updating the information for carts that had non-verified changes.
•	There is a new Global Audiowall Settings option to control whether Myriad stores the last 5 plays in the Cart List Files - "Store Recent Play History in the cart's List Files" - this allows you to turn off the facility if you don't use it and don't want the Cart List modified as often - for example if using a Backup On Change backup system.
•	There is a new Global Audiowall Settings option to control whether Myriad "Auto-detect new audio files when browsing the Audiowall...". Myriad has always done this, but you can now choose to turn this behaviour off if you prefer to use the AutoImporter to 'detect' new audio files and import them onto the Audiowall
•	Debug Files: by default these are now created in C:\DebugFiles instead of the root of the C: drive.
•	Support Files: These now prompt you to confirm your email address before creating the file to ensure that you are submitting it with your latest information so P Squared Support can reply to the correct address.
•	There is a new option to automatically start a Previewed cart playing instead of just cueing it in a player - this is in Myriad Settings>General Settings>Audio Settings "When clicking 'Preview', start playing the audio immediately" 
•	The option to warn users before playing a Segue in Mini-Mode has moved from Myriad Settings>General Settings to Myriad Settings>Station Database Settings.
•	The Setup Wizard has a new 'Role' for Education and Training users.
•	The Inhibit Logging Hardware line has been renamed "Preview Mode" and works by putting the Cart Player into Preview mode. This will only take effect when the player is empty and will not change a player that already has a cart loaded or running.

SmoothEdit:
•	Waveform Display: When opening the SmoothEdit display for 'details only' you are now presented with a simplified waveform display which loads much more quickly. As in previous releases, you then have the option to click to open the waveform for full editing.
•	The main SmoothEdit window has been significantly updated and rearranged to make it easier to add the most popular information such as titles, timing (Intro/Extro etc.) and Pictures. Lesser used information such as Looping and Hardware options have been moved to the Other tab instead. 
•	You can now turn off the 'Time Stretch' button via Global Audiowall Settings - this is to help sites who want users to use alternate Time Stretch tools.

Instant Carts:
•	The text colour of carts that do not have 'Custom Colours' has been altered to make it easier to see on more of the predefined colour schemes.
•	When you switch to 'Clear' mode to remove currently assigned Instant Carts, this mode stays active allowing you to clear multiple items more quickly. Clicking the 'Clear' button again returns to normal 'Click to Play' mode

Cart Players:
•	Waveform Display: There is a new option in Customise>Audiowall>Other Options to "Display waveforms..." on each cart player. These will only be displayed if the cart has a pre-rendered waveform 'peak' file, so carts loaded on via earlier copies of Myriad may not display these.
•	By default the Cart Players now show a large Play and Pause icon to show the current status. You can turn this off via Audio Settings "Display a large Icon on each Cart Player showing the current status".
•	If you are running 2 displays, you can now configure how many cart players are displayed on the first display (under the Audiowall). The remainder are displayed on the second display (under the Log Display). For example you might have 5 players with 2 for the Audiowall and 3 for the Log, so you would enter "2", and Myriad will then display those 2 under the Audiowall and the remaining 3 under the log.
•	For Carts that have an 'Intro Starts' the progress bar now starts red to match the popup shape, and turns to green once the main intro is reached.
•	The Font colour used to display the Seconds Played/Remaining/Recording/Recorded has been altered to make it easier to see on more of the predefined colour schemes.
•	The Recorder is slight wider.

Station Database Changes
•	Waveform Display: The Segue Editor now displays Waveforms for each item that has a waveform 'peak' file. If a peak file is not available then the Segue Editor shows the classic coloured blocks, but it also shows a waveform icon that you can click to cause it to create the 'peak' file. Once created these are stored and do not need to be created again. 
•	There is a new 'right click' option on the log - when you have On-Air Control and the log is running, you can now right click a log item and choose "Move Log Item to 'Next to play'" - which moves the log item to immediately after the currently playing item.
•	Notes: If you enter a filename into the notes field, the contents of that file is displayed in the "Info" area and when you click on the "i" icon. You can also enter a hyperlink such as http://www.psquared.net/ Please note that only .txt, .rtf and .log files can be displayed in the "Info" area, but any content that can be displayed in Internet Explorer can be linked to and will be displayed when clicking the "i" icon.
•	'Unscheduled Advert Breaks' are now shown in the grey disabled colour instead of the Advert Colour - making it easier to see if a break is not going to be played
•	Notes: You can now edit the notes of the currently playing item and the Note Editor is more intuitive
•	Clicking on the "info" icon on a Log item now displays its Notes in the Note Editor
•	The Segue Editor has been updated and has a cleaner appearance even when not using the Waveform display mode.
•	The "Overrun" label has been changed to a red highlight panel to match the new behaviour of the Next Segue panel.
•	The "Undo" delete button has been removed, you can now click on the trash can to restore the last deleted item.
•	The option to set the colour of the text at the foot of the log display has been removed.
•	The original Title and Artist information is now preserved when you use the "convert to voice link" option.
•	Myriad Network users can now configure the Threshold used for displaying Split Item length discrepancies via Station Database Settings>On-Air. The default is 0.5 seconds.
•	The colour of the background panels on the Item Details window has changed to make it easier to read the Scheduling History information. 
•	You can now customise how many days of History are examined when showing the Item Details window. This setting is in Station Database Settings>Log Items

New Database Engine:
•	The database engine that Myriad uses to access the Station Database has been overhauled to massively improve performance and compatibility with future operating systems. Almost all actions that are performed on the database have been rewritten or optimised - for instance scrolling up and down the log on some test systems has been measured at nearly 5 times faster than the same action under v3.5.15.
For technical users the main change is a change from DAO to ADO. To indicate this we have incremented the Database Version number from 3.507 to 3.508. No database structure changes have been introduced but the number reflects that a different method is now in use (ADO).

Myriad Manager:
•	Waveform Display: On the Audio Report, there is a new drop down option on the Edit button that creates Peak files for the selected carts. This is very useful for automatically creating Peak files for carts created with earlier releases of Myriad.
•	You can now edit Contact Permissions for all Applications from any product - in other words you can edit a users persmissions for (for example) 'AutoTrack' from within Myriad

Macro Command changes:
•	The ExportRange and ExportRangeTransport commands have a new optional paramater 'ModifiedInLastHours' which allows you to mark it to only export carts that have been modified within the last X hours - for instance you might want it to export all carts modified in the last day so you specify 24
•	New Command : PLAYER PREVIEWMODE <Player>,REQUEST/FORCE/CLEAR which allows you to control the PreviewMode of a player via IP.
•	New Command : PLAYER TOGGLEPLAYPAUSE <Player> that will Pause a playing player, and Play a pause/cued player

The following issues have been fixed:
•	If you set the log running and started the audio playing, then switched back to standby, scrolled to an alternate place in the log and started the log going again, Myriad would ask you if you wanted to start after the current Item, but would then ignore any changes you made to whether the original item was set to "Go" or "Stop" at the end.
•	If you were editing a Log Item (such as Hardware/Absolute time) and clicked the cross to close the window, Myriad would save the changes you had made as if you had clicked the OK button (as opposed to the Cancel button)
•	Sweepers with long extros playing within the Intro of a Song would occasionally cause the Overrun to be displayed incorrectly.
•	In SmoothEdit, clicking around in a waveform whilst audio was playing would occasionally cause Myriad to exit.
•	In SmoothEdit, clicking Pause then Stop then Play, the Pause button was still 'blue' instead of black
•	In SmoothEdit, The way the cursor and Selection were displayed whilst audio is playing was very misleading and would often cause confusion.
•	Importing a WAV file that contained multiple metadata 'chunks' with the same name would cause Myriad to exit.
•	The Item History Minimum Separation would not show a value if the item you were looking at was not due to play "ahead" of the time you were looking at.
•	When recording a new Voice Link using the SegEditor, the display would occasionally flicker after the voice link had started recording.
•	If you tried to record a new Voice Link using the SegEditor in between 2 carts that had no audio then Myriad would exit.
•	Instant Carts would sometimes flicker when being periodically refreshed
•	The Docked Instant Carts would show the times for the other "pane" after the display was periodically auto-refreshed
•	If you viewed the Schedule History for an item that did not have an Artist then you would see a lot of '+' symbols in the grid showing each time ANY item that doesn't have an Artist was played.
•	The Live Scripts menu would grow to show more scripts as they were added to the Scripts folder, but did not shrink when they were removed.
•	The duration of songs Hook-played in a Hook Player was being recorded as being longer than it actually played - i.e. it might report 1min59secs play, but only have actually played 4 seconds of the audio.
•	Sending UDP commands would not work in some situations.
•	In Myriad Manager, you could not select a date later than today for the Scheduled Logs Report.

v3.5.15

New Features:
•	Nearby Play History: If you have a Station Database open and click to view the More Information window for a Cart or Database item you are now shown a grid showing when that item or other songs by the same artist are scheduled to play the Log. This makes it incredibly easy to see if a song you can want to use is due to be played soon, or indeed was played recently. Please note that this only shows where the item is scheduled to play in the log, it won't show any plays where the item was directly played from the Audiowall or the Database view.
•	Title Lookup: You can now configure which internet site to use for looking up Item Titles as opposed to Artist Names. The default is to use Last.FM, but you can enter or select other sites via Global Audiowall Settings, and this includes suggestions of Last.FM, MusicBrainz and Google
•	Artist Lookup: Last.FM and MusicBrainz suggestions have been added to the Global Audiowall Settings options.
•	Audiowall Custom Fields: There are 3 new 'custom' fields on the SmoothEdit window. These are free-text fields that can be used to store any information you need. The Captions for these are editable using Global Audiowall Settings - For example, you might title them "Amazon ID", "iTunes ID" and "Traffic Ref". This information will also be available via a future release of OCP.
•	Import Wizard: There is a new option on the Import Wizard that takes you to a page shwowing a selection of music download services. In future this will take you allow you to select and automatically download songs from selected partners.

Station Database Changes
•	The 'Next Segue' display now changes colour as you approach the end of the item in the same way as the Cart Players bringing this information together in a single place.
•	The Database window now shows Ending Type information for each entry, and this information is also now read in from the Audiowall when using the "Fill the Database..." option.
•	The 'Suggest' Window now has 2 buttons on - OK and Info to make it easier for touch screen users
•	There is a new Station Database Settings option to display the Reference Times instead of the Estimated Start Times - ideal for stations that don't play much content from the Log so the Estimated Start times are of less use. These are shown on Absolute Times, Hour Starts and Advert Breaks. All other items are left blank.  
•	If you are using Myriad Network you can now specify how many hours ahead to request and update information for Split Cart Groups and Split Breaks.
•	Pressing "Home" in standby mode during an hour that has some items already played (i.e. blue ticked) would cause Myriad to jump to the wrong item and incorrectly update the Estimated start times.
•	Script Log items now have an icon of their very own.
•	An exclamation mark is displayed for any Split Cart groups or Advert Break where the shortest and longest durations for all splits are more than 0.5 seconds apart.
•	You can now connect to Myriad Network or Network Master using an alternate port - just specify the port on the end of the address after a colon,e.g., MyriadNet01:1234

Common Changes:
•	If you open then Import Audio Wizard then insert a USB disk or Portable USB recorder it now automatically scans the device and adds suitable files to the list of files to be imported.
•	More of the selections made in the Import Audio Wizard (such as Trim/Crop etc.) are now remembered for next time you use the wizard.
•	When importing WAV files, information in embedded INFO and ID3 tags is now used to populate the Title, Artist and Genre information.
•	When importing audio with 'Trim Points' if you choose not to automatically crop the audio, the trim points are now removed so that Myriad plays the entire cart rather than attempting to play only the marked sections.
•	After changing the Global Audiowall Settings you had to restart Myriad to see any additional carts you had created by increasing the Number Carts.

The following issues have been fixed:
•	You could not change the current log 'mode' on the fly - you had to switch to Standby first, then to the new mode.
•	In Myriad Manager, you could shrink the Contact window until Myriad Manager exited. You also could not see the 'Allow this user to login' check box.
•	You could complete recording a new voice link into an 'Unscheduled Advert Break'
•	You could only create Personal Instant Cart Sets if you had permission to created shared IC Sets
•	When using Advanced On Air Control, losing Control would result in 2 log items playing simultaneously
•	When connecting and disconnecting from Myriad Network, Cart Groups would sometimes remain cued in the Split Players.
•	A valid audio item with actual audio but with an extro set to 0 would be flagged as missing audio in the log

v3.5.14

Myriad Changes:
•	When doing a 'Find' on the Audiowall, the Time Rules now checks the Extro instead of the Full length of the cart.
•	You can now choose a different colour for Script items (Database Settings>Log Items)
•	There is a new Macro Command LOG VIEW JUMP,Reference which scrolls the Log Display to show the specified Log Item.
•	The HARDWARE Macro command has been altered to accept a comma separated list of lines to alter - i.e. HARDWARE SET 17,18,19,20 will turn on lines 17-20.
•	The default internet site to search for Artist Information has been changed to Wikipedia. You can switch back to Google or 'Lucky Google' from a new drop down list in Global Audiowall Settings. The option to automatically go to the first search result has therefore been removed as this is now available via the dropdown list instead.

Common Changes:
•	There is a new Global Audiowall Setting which allows you control the Default Export Audio Filename Format - this is used whenever a user Exports an Audio or Transport file from the Audiowall or from an Audio Report.
•	There is a new Command "AUDIOWALL EXPORTRANGE" or "AUDIOWALL EXPORTRANGETRANSPORT" which can be used to export all of the carts in a range to a folder.
•	Double clicking in the Date in the Choose Date/Time window no longer closes the window if you are also expected to select a Time.
•	When Importing audio using the Wizard you are now asked if you want a full match where both the Title and Artist must match. It also now uses SoundEx searching to match slightly misspelt items.
•	In Customise Myriad, the Cart Preview has been updated to reflect the more modern appearance of Myriad v3.5
•	When using the Import Wizard to import Transport Files, it now shows 'Current Progress' as each file is unpacked and imported.

Myriad Manager Changes:
•	Very large Copyright Reports are now created much more rapidly.
•	
•	The following issues have been fixed:
•	Added additional handling when opening databases with corrupted Category information.
•	Double clicking on a Auto-Hook in the Log was displaying the wrong Informaition window
•	Altering an item in the log whilst recording a new link would cause the Segue Display to blank.
•	The 'Computer ID' was not being stored correctly, so could not be changed manually.
•	The Auto-Fade button would be displayed on Admin-Only licenses if you had set On-Air Control to 'Always'
•	If ForceFade was active but the end of a Log Item was Seg-Edited to before the Extro, then the 'Time To Next Segue' would count to the original Extro instead of the new SegEdit point.
•	Users with date formats other than English had several problems with scheduling and unscheduling
•	Myriad would exit if you tried to run it on a computer with no Sound Devices
•	Editing a 'Title Only' cart then closing SmoothEdit without re-saving the information would erase it from the Audiowall.
•	Fixed a problem with dragging empty carts onto cart players causing the player to stop playing any further audio.
•	Some Windows 7 and Vista users couldn't access the Audio Format Dialog window
•	Arabic Text was not displaying correctly on the Tab Strips
•	User Access End Dates were not being applied

v3.5.12

Myriad now supports the K1500 Programmable Keyboard. The option to enable this is at the bottom of the Myriad Settings>General Tab

The menu options shown when right clicking on the clock have been re-worded to make them clearer.

Myriad can now recieve Macro Commands via a standard Com Port.

Double clicking on an Audio item in the log (such as a Song, Link, Advert or Cart) now displays the Item Information window.

As well as the current Software Version, the actual name of the software being used is now stored in the "Computer" list - i.e. Myriad3, MManager3 (Myriad Manager), MyrNet3 (Myriad Network) etc.

When loading a file into the Pad or the Log, there is new option in the "format" list of "Supported File Types" which shows all supported file types.

Audiowall / Audio Browser/ Audio Reports / SmoothEdit Changes:
•	Hook marks are now imported from Cart Chunk from all files regardless of creator, Loops are still only imported from Wav files created by P Squared Products.
•	You can now filter the Audio Browser and the Audio Reports lists by Content Type and Music Category - i.e. only show 'Adverts', or only show 'Music' in the 'Pop' Category.
•	When you start editing an item on the Audiowall it now marks it red and currently editing in a similar way to carts being 'recorded' so it's clear to other users that the cart is already in use.
•	After editing a Cart with an External Editor, SmoothEdit now checks the edited file for any Title or Timing changes and incorporates these into the cart - this means you can now use an external editor to edit the Intro/Hook/Extro marks.

Audio Configuration Changes:
•	Added automatic detection for Roland UA101 under Windows 7
•	Updated automatic detection for Echo Audio cards under Windows 7

Station Database Changes
•	There is a new option on the Right Click menu that allows you to Preview the highlit item's Extro
•	The way the Log is read from the database and displayed when scrolling up and down the log has been significantly overhauled giving much faster update times, particularly when using a database over a  slow network connection or from a slow remote file store.
•	There is a new setting in "Station Database Settings>General>Fade when 'Play' pressed" That allows you to turn control whether Myriad fades out the previous item when pressing "Play" on a cart player, instead of pressing the "Go" button.
•	By default, Myriad now shows a green CUE indicator on the next item to play in the log, and removes the green play icons when the current item ends. To turn this feature off and go back to the previous display, go to : Station Database Settings>Log Layout>Display 'Smart' Play and Cue indicators on the Log
•	In Myriad, there is a new Tools>Station Database Maintenance menu option to "Remove all Song Link and Advert Information from the 'Database'" - this does not delete any audio, it only empties the "Database" view.

The following issues have been fixed:

Audiowall:
•	Sorting the Find results list by Length or Intro would not sort correctly.
•	Importing a Transport file that contained a Picture would not create the thumbnail.
•	When exporting a Cart with no Content Type or Genre to an mp2, mp3 or Ogg Vorbis file, the Genre in the file was being set to 'Blues' instead of 'Other'
•	Exporting to mp2 at non-44100 sample rate would occasionally export at 44k instead.

Instant Cart Fixes:
•	When a user Logged back in, Myriad was not displaying the last Instant Cart set that you were viewing prior to logout.
•	
•	Log/SegEdit/Database Fixes:
•	The Highlit item would always be displayed using White text regardless of which colour you selected in Station Database Settings.
•	Carts marked as being "Announcer Stack" were erroneously being added to the Log as Voice links.
•	Myriad would continually tell you it couldn't automatically fill the log if the Preset selected for Auto-InstantTrack was not setup correctly.
•	Fixed several problems with Seg Edit and Voice Tracking licensing in unusual scenarios.
•	When using the Normalise option with new Voice Links, the original non-normalised voice link was being renamed to .old and not being deleted until the Voice Link was erased. This didn't cause any operational problems but did result in more disk space being used than is nescessary.
•	When switching to a Station Database that did not contain any log items, the Segue Editor would still show the last segue from the previous database.

SmoothEdit Fixes:
•	Fixed a problem where copying sections of audio into a new carts and opening and closing other editors would cause the new Cart to fail to save correctly.
•	Opening a second Cart to edit on Windows XP running at 1024x768 could cause Myriad to exit

Myriad Manager Fixes:
•	Some users had problems exporting an Audio Report with thousands of items to a CSV file where not all the items were written to the file.
•	
•	Other Fixes:
•	The Setup Wizard was only correctly detecting Audiowall Locations if it could also detect a valid Data Location
•	Some Audiowall information was not being included in the Support Files.
•	The Create P2 Support File option in the Emergency Recovery tool was not working

v3.5.11

Important change to the way Myriad talks to OCP: The way Myriad sends information to OCP has been altered to reduce the time taken to send the information. You therefore need to use OCP v2.6.45 or higher.

Important change to Myriad Keyboard shortcuts: By default, the 'Space bar' no longer starts a cart playing on the Audiowall or presses 'Go' on the Log display. You can re-enable this functionality by going into Myriad Settings>General Options and turning on the "Enable limited 'Myriad v2' Keyboard Shortcuts" option. This option also enables the 'Backspace' key to toggle the end type of the currently playing log item.

P Squared Directory Changes: Due to problems with Vista and Domain Integration, SQL Server is no longer supported for the P Squared Contacts and Users Directory and the options have been removed, so you should plan to migrate to a file based Directory as soon as possible.

Myriad Changes:
•	Myriad now checks that you have at least 512MB of free disk space for Temp files when it loads.
•	You can now choose to prevent users from using the Docked Instant Carts and Docked Pad panes via the Audiowall tab on the Myriad Settings window. By default both features are available.
•	The location that the View Menu items are stored in has changed to work better in restricted security environments.
•	If you 'drag' an item across the Tabs, they now automatically switch to show you the tab you have dragged over.
•	There is a new setting on the Myriad Settings>General tab under Display - "Optimise the display for Touchscreens (i.e. large buttons etc.)" makes various buttons and lists larger throughout Myriad to make it easier to use with a TouchScreen.

Audio/Audiowall Changes:
•	You can now enter an ISRC code on the Audiowall, there is also a button to search an internet site for this information. The default location is the PPL UK Repository, but the URL this uses can be configured via the Other Options on the Global AudioWall Settings window.
•	You can now change the URL that is used to search for Artist Information on the Internet. The default is Google, but this can be changed via the Other Options on the Global AudioWall Settings window.
•	Import Audio Wizard:  Now displays ItemTitle, ItemArtist, ContentType, Genre, CutID, AudioStart, AudioEnd, IntroStart, IntroEnd and Extro information from a CSV file that is next to the selected Audio file.
•	Import Audio Wizard:  You can now load and save a list of files to import to allow you to use a list of files from another source, or to work on batches of files at a time. 
•	Import Audio Wizard:  There is a new "Select" button that allows you to select files in the Import Audio Files list based on criteria such as having valid CUTID information. You can then use this in conunction with the Delete button to remove items that won't import successfully, or to save the list for later processing.
•	Import Audio Wizard:  Previously you could only use the option to Crop files using 'Trim Points' if you also "converted" all of the audio at the same time regardless of whether it needed to be trimmed, you can now import files and the Wizard only 'converts' the ones that need to be cropped.
•	Import Audio Wizard:  Previously if it could not import a file, the entire process was halted. Instead, the Wizard now finishes the import, and then offers you an option to remove all the successfully imported files from the Files list, so you can return and review those that could not be imported.
•	When importing audio files, the original filename is now stored in the carts INF file so you can see where it was imported from. This information is displayed on the "Other" tab in SmoothEdit
•	If you are displaying pictures on the carts, and the carts are wide enough (typically more than 220 wide), the size of the picture thumbnail is now doubled. To help with image clarity, the default size for the Picture Thumbnails has been changed to 64x64 (instead of 44x44). You may need to manually edit the Audwall.ini file using notepad to remove the lines that force the width and height to be 44. To recreate your thumbnails, delete the contents of the Audiowall "Thumbs" folder and then run the menu option to check that all carts are v3.5 compliant.
•	The Extro and Length information are now both shown on the More Information window for carts. An exclamation mark is also displayed to indicate if the audio has likely been edited outside of myriad resulting in the length being changed without Myriad being updated.
•	The Audiowall Preferences window has been updated to bring the main options onto a single area.
•	When you open SmoothEdit you can now have the focus set directly to the waveform instead of the item title - Customise>Audiowall Preferences>More Options>"Set focus straight to the waveform"
•	The Minimise and Maximise buttons have been removed from the SmoothEdit Window to reduce confusion.
•	The file location that is used to store the Audiowall Local Jumps buttons has changed so it you can have different Jump buttons for each Profile.
•	Improved detection and automatic configuration for the the Axia IP Driver (virtual Sound card used by the Axia system)
•	Improved detection and automatic configuration of the more recent releases of the Edirol UA-101 driver for Windows XP and Windows Vista.
•	The Midiman Delta 1010 now defaults to recording from Device 1+2 and the 1010lt from Device 3+4
•	You can now configure the Temporary file location used by SmoothEdit - this is in Audio Settings>Rec/Edit tab. This temp location is automatically emptied as you close SmoothEdit
•	The mp3 Encoder has been upgraded to v3.98.2

Log Changes:
•	There is a new option to control whether Myriad displays the mini-segue editor. This is available from Myriad Settings>Station Database Settings.
•	You can now add Script items to the log by using the right click Insert>Script/Text menu option.
•	There is a new option to display wider panels on the Log Display. This is available in Station Database Settings>Log Layout
•	When you open the Database Browser window, the last database you opened is now selected by default.
•	There is new setting for the range that will be used by Remote Edit Server for Remote Voice Tracking users. This is not presently used, but will be used in a future  v3.5 release of Remote Voice Tracking.
•	The Search feature on the docked cart browser has been improved to make it simpler to clear the search to see all items.
•	You are now warned when adjusting the segue at the end of a "Sweeper" that the end type will be automatically changed to an 'Auto' ending.
•	The size of the Page up, Down and Undo buttons has been increased

Instant Cart Changes:
•	There is a new Customise Option "Restart playing Instant Carts if triggered again" that re-cues and re-plays an Instant Cart if you fire it again. This makes the Instant Carts more like traditional 'Hot Keys'
•	The main Instant Cart view (as opposed to the Docked View) has been overhauled to make the information much clearer. If you preferred the old look you can switch back to this via Customise>Myriad>General
•	From the main Instant Cart View, there is a new Clear button that you click before selecting an Instant Cart to clear it's assignment.
•	You are now asked if you want to remove an Instant Cart when you click to clear it.

Myriad Manager Changes:
•	Copyright Reports: There is a new PPL report and matching Export as CSV Option that includes the ISRC. Due to this change older reports are now invalid so any custom Copyright Reports Formats that you have saved will be deleted.
•	Play Log Reports and Copyright Reports: The default for Reports is now "Played in the last day"
•	The 'Remove From Log' menu option has moved to the Tools>Database Maintenance Menu

Common Configuration Changes:
•	There is a new button on the Myriad Settings>Advanced Tab that allows you to take a backup of your Settings for disaster recovery purposes
•	The Myriad Data Location and Audio Locations are now set in the same window, and this can be viewed via the new Settings>Myriad Settings>File Locations menu option.
•	The System Maintenance Option on the Tools Menu has been separated into Audiowall and Database Maintenance options, and the "Check that all Carts on the Audiowall are v3.5 compliant" has been retitled to "Verify all Carts on the Audiowall are v3.5 compliant" to unify the process.
•	The option to Display in Dual Screen on a single monitor has been re-worded to recommend a Widescreen monitor
•	When Myriad starts, it now copies several default HTML files onto the Data Location for the View Menu options to work correctly.
•	By default, Myriad now temporarily disables Windows Aero on Windows Vista and Windows 7 as it starts. Aero will be re-enabled when you close Myriad. There is a new option in Myriad Settings>General Options>Display Settings that allows you turn Aero back on. P Squared strongly recommend leaving Aero disabled

Myriad Network/OCP Related Changes:
•	Complete overhaul of the communications with Myriad Network v3.5.11 has massively improved speed and features. 
•	When controlling Myriad Network, the number of 'splits' is now shown on the On-Air button so you can easily see if a split isn't connected correctly.
•	When looking for "Next To Play" information to send to OCP, Myriad now only looks at the next 2 hours in the log.
•	Myriad STS v2 users: To improve display performance, the Myriad Log Display is no longer updated when cart groups are edited or advert breaks altered. This does not affect Myriad Network v3 users.

Hardware Manager Changes:
•	Myriad now detects joysticks that have more than 4 buttons and can also use the Point Of View Pad as an additional 4 buttons
•	
•	Macro Commands:
•	New Command : TAGPLAYINGAUDIO causes Myriad to write the name of all currently playing carts into a file in the Audiowall\Tagged folder.
•	The 'COMMAND <CommandName>' macro has been replaced by 'COMMAND RUN <CommandName>' and there is also now DELETE and RENAME actions available. Please see the "Command Reference v3.5" for more information.
•	When you open Myriad, it now looks for a a command called 'STARTUP' and runs it automatically. If you command is called 'STARTUPPROMPT' then the user is asked if they want to 'Run the Startup Macro?'
•	You can now override a 'shared' command (stored in the Data location\Commands) with a profile specific command by creating a local file in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\P Squared\Myriad v3\Profiles\<ProfileName>\Commands folder. For example you may have a command called ImportNews that carries out a certain action on all machines, but on one specific machine you want to alter the way this command works so you copy the ImportNews.cm3 file into the local location and alter it using notepad.
•	The new Profile Specific Commands can also be overridden by a non specific Local command stored in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\P Squared\Myriad v3\Commands 

Other Changes:
•	When you are prompted to create a periodic backup of the P Squared Contacts and Users Directory, you are now shown the time the last backup was taken.
•	The Create P2 Support File window has been updated making it much easier to use. You can also now include multiple Carts in a single Support File.
•	There is a new option that allows you to control whether 'Currently Playing' information is sent to Myriad STS/Network. This can be found in Station Database Settings>On Air Tab>Other On/Air Split options at the bottom of the List. This option is OFF by default.
•	The Audiowall Customisation option to "Use Improved Display Scales" has been removed as it was no longer nescessary.
•	The UDP IP Port has changed from Port 6951 to Port 6959. The TCP Control Port is still 6950.

The following issues have been fixed:

Audiowall/SmoothEdit Fixes:
•	On the Import Wizard, it would sometimes fail to read the CD Titles from FreeDB if the disc was inserted after the wizard was started.
•	Editing some carts that contained non-standard length 'Broadcast Wave' information (aka BEXT) could corrupt the audio file making it unplayable.
•	The 'Search Artist' option in the 'Find' function on the Audio Wall was not working correctly.
•	The 'Suggest Similar' right-click menu option was showing items in the database that were a different type - i.e. showing Links when searching for similar Songs
•	In SmoothEdit you could still select the option to link to files even if the Global Audiowall Settings "Allow Users to Link..." option was turned off.
•	Clicking at the very right hand side of the SmoothEdit waveform could cause Myriad to exit.
•	Removing/editing the pictures on a cart would not update the thumbnails.
•	When you initially opened an audio file the Zoom to Start/End buttons were disabled.
•	On the Cart Browser, If you set a range, then clicked back to grid or single line and scrolled the view you would incorrectly be displayed a message about the Cart Range

Log/Database Fixes:
•	If you had a cart playing in the players and started the log saying "yes" to start after the current item had finished, pressing GO did not fade out the existing cart. Also, if you scrolled the log while waiting for that item to start, Myriad would start from the currently highlit item instead of the one you had selected
•	Users could 'Add hours' to the log or perform seg editing even if they did not have Log Editing Permission 
•	AutoHooks were not showing their 'End Type' in the Log Display
•	Web Notes were not being displayed on the Log Item Note Information window
•	If the next item in the Log was already cued in a player and you replaced it with a "Suggestion", the item that had been replaced was still left in the cart player
•	Occasionally Random autohooks would play in "Next" mode instead of Random if there were limited numbers of log items with hooks.
•	Random Autohooks were playing a separator at the start of the sequence. These have now been removed.
•	If you attempted to Delete a Station Database that was in use via the Choose Database window, you were not told that the file could not be deleted.
•	After importing Settings from another Station Database, you had to close and re-open the database before the imported settings would be used.
•	After Filling the Database with Categorised Carts, you had to close and re-open the database before you could use InstantTrack
•	After clicking the 'Go' button, the mouse wheel would not scroll up and down the log.
•	The "Display the time information from Log, rather than from the carts" option would cause the times of faded items to be display incorrectly.
•	If you have a Stop on an Absolute Time in a Live hour, then the next item would occasionally be cued but then skipped over.

Player Fixes:
•	The Cart Players would show the position pointer on Lists even though you can't fast forward/rewind through this type of item.
•	The "Allow eject when cart players are paused or stopped" Audio Setting was not displaying correctly when you went back into the Audio Settings window
•	Occasionally when seeking a cart past the "cue next item" point when the log was running the cart would immediately eject and the next would start.

Other Fixes:
•	Some small graphics and text elements were dissappearing from screen as you used Myriad
•	On the OCP Send Manual Information window, the bottommost icon was missing when you first opened the window.

(PSQReference: SVN)

v3.5.9

Myriad v3.5 is now built on the Myriad Framework which is a unified platform for the Myriad Family which includes Playout, Network, Anywhere and Monitor (v3.5) 

Import change to Audiowall Categories:

The way that the Category information is stored has been changed and therefore Myriad will not read the Category information from earlier versions of Myriad. To convert your original categories, open the Audwall.ini file in notepad, and change the line that says [CategoryInfo] to [CategoryInfo7] You also need to change DefaultCategory= to DefaultCategory7= 

Important change to the Radio Clock Handler: The Radio Clock will now only update the time if the date it recieves is within 2 days of the current computer date. In other words, you have to manually set the date on the computer to be the correct day before it will update the time. This is to stop erroneous data recieved by the clock from causing playout problems and Licensing errors.

Important change to the way Myriad talks to OCP: The way Myriad sends information to OCP has been overhauled and is now much more efficient and allows for faster updating of Outputs. You therefore need to use OCP v2.6.42 or higher.

Other Changes:

When you first run Myriad, it now looks for Audiowalls stored in common Scoop locations as well as the other areas.

An "OK" message box is now displayed after exporting a cart to a file.

Scrollbars are now displayed on the notes information on the Item Details window if the notes are longer than the display area can display.

When importing or exporting audio files, the progress bar is now more descriptive about what file Myriad is working on, and you are now informed if you try to import an audio file in an unsupported format.

When you import a single audio file, if it contains "Audio Trim" points then Myriad now asks if you want the audio to be automatically cropped to these trim points. When you import using the Import Wizard, you can select to use the same Trim points on the Audio Format page. You can alternatively select to automatically remove silence from the start of the audio during the import process.

The window that is used in several places that allows you to select an Audio Format has been overhauled to make it more user friendly - particularly the Windows Media format selection.

As part of the ability to search the internet for websites relating to Artists, there is a new setting under the current one in Myriad Settings that allows you to turn on and off the "instant" jump to the first site that matches the artists information. If you turn this off then you are shown a Google results list of other suitable websites instead.

Important change to handling of corrupted audio:
In all previous versions of Myriad, if you attempted to load a cart that contained corrupted audio into a cart player, Myriad would stop, display a message box and wait for you to press OK. If the cart was being played out during automated hours this would therefore cause your station to go off air. Myriad v3.5.9 no longer displays these messages and instead logs an error in the Directory History. The cart is also tagged with "** POSSIBLY CORRUPTED **" to indicate there may be a problem with this cart.

Audio Changes:
•	A new option on the right click menu allows you to send a cart to the PodCast Creator tool if you have the Advanced Tools Pack installed. Users must have the "Can Edit Information Views" permission to use this feature. At present you will still need to then re-select the cart in the Creator, but this will be corrected in a future update of the Podcast Creator. 
•	The default play mode of SmoothEdit is now Play to End instead of Play Selection
•	Instant Carts are now played from a selectable Range of players, rather than a preferred first, then "any" player. This means that it is far simpler to predict which player an Instant Cart will play in, as well as giving the ability to "lock" Instant Carts to only play from a selected player.
•	You can now turn off the Volume controls on the cart players
•	The option to display Cart Players using different colours can now be changed without having to restart Myriad.
•	By default, the "External Audio Editor" now runs with much less priority than Myriad so that Myriad is more responsive whislt simultaneoulsy using the external editor.
•	"Check for missing Audiowall Audio files in the selected Audio format instead of 'WAV' only" causes Myriad to look for files with the filename extension that matches the format you have selected as the Audio format. Previously Myriad would always look for files in the selected format, but if you are "dropping" files into the audiowall folder for users to then find by browsing that part of the Audiowall, then the carts would not be "seen" by Myriad v3.5 so it would not play them. By default this option is off so it looks for WAV files instead of the selected format.

Station Database Related changes:
•	"Unscheduled" items (such as songs or Advert breaks before the traffic merge is done) are now shown disabled (i.e. greyed out) 
•	The "Database" search results are now displayed much more quickly - particularly on large Databases.
•	The Docked Cart Browser on the Log tab has been redesigned to make it simpler to use and remove problems with entering text into the "Find" and "Jump" boxes causing Instant Carts to fire
•	The way the Station Database is searched to suggest similar items when right clicking on Carts or Log items has been changed to make the process much faster - particularly on large databases.
•	There is a new option in Myriad Settings>Station Database Settings that allows you to turn on/off the Song and Link Types tree items in the Database View. On large database, displaying this information can be very slow when you first open a Station Database.
•	You can now insert many more items into the same 'gap' between existing items before the 'gap' becomes full and Myriad cannot add any more.
•	When a Station Database is open, Myriad now updates "Last Accessed" information (visible on the Choose Database window) whilst Myriad is running instead of only when the Database is being closed. This makes it much easier to see which Databases are Active and which are no longer used.
•	You cannot now review a Segue that would only leave a single player free if the Log is running. You need to switch the log to Standby mode before you can hear the segue preview. You don't have to stop the currently playing item from running, you just need to change the log into standby mode.
•	InstantTrack now defaults to choosing 60 minutes of music instead of 61, and the configuration window has some new graphics.
•	If the Automatic Hour Creation using InstantTrack is active, it now schedules the next hour at the point the next item is cued rather than 2 seconds before the audio finishes. This allows extra time for InstantTrack to schedule and to remove old entries from the Log (see below)
•	If the log is running on the current hour (i.e. the correct hour for "now"), and there are no further hours in the log, and Myriad is set to use InstantTrack to automatically add on another hour, Myriad now deducts the amount of time that it is overrunning by from the duration that is requested from InstantTrack. For instance, if your InstantTrack preset is set to schedule 60 minutes, but we are overrunning by 4 minutes, Myriad will now only ask InstantTrack for 56 minutes of log items rather than the full 60.
•	New Macro Commands: LOG REMOVE ALL or LOG REMOVE RANGE
•	In Station Database Settings, the Log Importer Tab has been renamed Scheduler.
•	The "Automatic Hour Creation using InstantTrack" settings have been moved to the Scheduler Tab, and there is a new setting that is on by default that tells Myriad to automatically purge old log entries when using InstantTrack to schedule new hours.
•	The Q-AudioEngine has been upgraded to handle 33% more items simultaneously to allow for more complex segues and commands. It can also now handle 10 times as many items to be marked as "played" in the database. This allows for more rapid segues when playing many items back to back.

Hardware Manager Changes:
•	The Hardware Manager's display has been completely revised to show more information about each hardware line in use by the system. All 3 hardware cards are now shown together in a sizeable window, and information about Flash and Pulse are also now displayed. The window also "floats" above other windows allowing you to watch Myriad working at the same time as reviewing hardware events.
•	The Hardware Settings window has also been updated to show more information
•	Hardware lines that are not linked to an action/display now say "Not Assigned" instead of "Not In Use" to reduce confusion.
•	The "Player Display" option was previously erroneously titled "Cart Display"
•	The caption for the Hardware option for "Cart Display>Is Cued Ready" has been changed to "Player Display>Is Cued/Paused" to better explain it's use.
•	Several issues with Hardware lines set to "Player Display" status have been fixed where the lines were not following the state of the player correctly.

Myriad Manager Changes:
•	There is a new System Maintenance menu on the Tools menu that allows you to carry out a subset of the options in the main Myriad program. There is also an option to Compact/Repair any database. This is a duplicate of the same function in the Emergency Configuration Tool.
•	The Directory History window now has a pane at the bottom that shows you the full details of the selected item.
•	By default, items that were only 'previewed' are not now included in Play Log Reports. To include these click the Include Previewed items on the 'Other Options' tab.

P Squared Contacts and Users Directory Changes:
•	The Directory no longer automatically creates backups once a day. The default settings are now to prompt users once a week when they login to create a backup. Backups are now kept for 28 days instead of 7 days. This behaviour can be altered via the Backup tab on the Directory Settings window.
•	
•	More of the extended cart information is now being stored in the CartChunk TagText field. This information will only be saved into carts created with Myriad v3.5.8 or higher. Files created by earlier versions of Myriad (3.5.x, 3.0.x and 2.6.x) cannot have the extra information retroactively added.
•	
•	Windows Vista users are now warned if they have Windows Aero enabled and recommended to switch to Windows Basic
•	
•	You can now adjust the sizes of buffers that Myriad uses when playing back audio. These are adjusted via registry changes as they are very powerful settings that can cause audio to stutter or stop altogether if set incorrectly. Contact P Squared Support for more information. 
•	
•	The original Myriad Monitor v3.0 has been discontinued and will not work correctly with Myriad v3.5. A new Myriad Framework Product : "Myriad Monitor" is compatible with Myriad v3.5 and more details and pricing information are available from P Squared.
•	
•	There is a new option on the Advanced Tab in Myriad Settings, and on the main Emergency Configuration Tool window that exports the settings for Myriad to a registry file. 
•	
•	Myriad has a new command line option /AudiowallOnly which only shows the Audiowall and Instant Cart screens.
•	
•	There are new menu options in the Configuration Tool to create a P Squared Support File, Check the Update Information and access the P Squared Websites.
•	
•	The core P Squared Graphics Engine that Myriad uses has been significantly improved to use less system resources resulting in a faster more reliable platform.
•	
•	The following issues have been fixed:
•	Opening the Find pane on the Audiowall was not updating the buttons on the left hand side.
•	On the Find on the Audiowall, if you entered 1 second and +/- 3 seconds you would see incorrect results
•	Clicking "Suggest Similar from the Database" on the Audiowall could cause Myriad to exit.
•	The Cue/Hear/Edit buttons on the Database tab would cause Myriad to exit.
•	The background colour of the Hook and Info Icons would not update when changing from some carts to another when displayed in the Cart Browsers
•	Myriad would display a harmless error message when validating some audiowalls for the first time. 
•	During Validation, Myriad would leave some RTF files in place if they only contained plain text, not RTF text. These are now correctly imported and removed.
•	Myriad would add an item to a List Player (for example during Auto-Hook) even the carts audio file was missing.
•	If a List player was instructed to play a cart that the audio file was missing, it would stop playback and wait until the user pressed eject on the cart player.
•	If a List player finished with a Dialog window on screen, Myriad would exit.
•	The Ending type of Carts was not being displayed on the Item Information window
•	The large circle or square was being shown incorrectly on Players for carts with no intro.
•	Rights Management References were not being saved in SmoothEdit
•	If you exported a cart to a heavily compressed audio format such as mp3 then audio playback could stutter.
•	Pasting audio into an empty Cart in SmoothEdit would left the extro set at 0 seconds, this is now set to the length of the pasted audio.
•	Some carts added by AutoTrack and Scoop could be seen, but the audio would not play.
•	In the Audio Browser and Audio Reports window, the Audio Browser Options>Advanced options were not correctly filtering the display 
•	The Audio Browser and Audio Reports Windows now have a new column that shows you the most recent play of the cart. Please note that this is the summary information that is stored with the cart, it is not based on the play logs.
•	If you Customised Myriad and entered a very high size for the width of height of Carts on the Audiowall then Myriad would exit.
•	"Ripping" in CD tracks was using increasing amounts of memory until Myriad slowed to a stop.
•	Some Station Databases would cause Myriad to exit when they were opened due to legacy Song Category Information.
•	After running the Fill Database with Categorised Carts, you had to manually run the Rebuild function before any new categories were displayed in the Database view, and before new carts could be used by InstantTrack.
•	If you used the Use Colours from Carts option on the Log Display then some items would still be shown using the log colours instead of the Cart colours.
•	Scrolling to the end of the log, the Add Hour bar was partially obscured by the bottom of the Log Display 
•	Myriad would 'Rebuild' the InstantTrack Decks every time you opened a database that was populated by an older version of AutoTrack
•	InstantTrack was not able to schedule Songs in Category 0 - "Other" 
•	The top button on the left hand tabs would occasionally lose it's caption (i.e. Goto on the Log tab)
•	You could not change a link to "sweep" into the next item if the hour mode was Automation or Auto-Fade
•	The On-Air Button was still displayed on Admin only licenses.
•	The Auto-Restart delay was not being used if Myriad was unexpectedly rebooted, instead Myriad was just starting immediately.
•	If you deleted an hour from the Scheduled Log then tried to start the Log running, you received an error message about the hour not being found.
•	Clicking Myriad Settings on Windows Vista would display a security message asking you to confirm a registry export action before you could proceed.
•	A large number of 'empty hours' in a row in the log (i.e. just hour Start markers) would cause Myriad to permanently lock all the hourstarts and in some cases Log Playout would then halt.
•	In Myriad Manager, if you created a Play Log or a Copyright Report that had several Computers listed, then saved and re-opened the report, some of the computers would not be listed.
•	The way Myriad was monitoring keys like Control, Shift and Alt has changed to correct problems where these keys appear to be 'stuck' down causing the wrong action to occur.

v3.5.7

NEW! InstantTrack:

InstantTrack is a new feature that is available on all versions of Myriad that include the Database and Log View. It is a (very!) cut down version of AutoTrack and can be used to quickly add items to the Pad or to the Scheduled Log based on the items listed in the Database.  When you click the InstantTrack option on the Pad, or the Add Hour Using InstantTrack Log menu option you are presented with a display that allows you to select which Categories songs are selected from as well as how often to insert a jingle and how long the results should play for. You can also tell InstantTrack to avoid choosing items from the same artist within a certain number of items.

In Station Database Settings you can also set a Preset to be used to automatically add an hour to the log when Myriad reaches the end of the currently scheduled information. This is an ideal way of ensuring that you don't go 'Off-Air' because you haven't been able to schedule using AutoTrack or a 3rd party scheduler - Myriad will just keep running, generating an hour of log at a time.

You can also tell Myriad to use a Preset to "Auto-Fill" an hour so that if you are under-running in an hour by a few minutes, Myriad will automatically add items to the end of the hour using InstantTrack to make up the underrun. Songs that have been added by Auto-Filled are shown in italics.

When you add to an existing Pad, InstantTrack uses the items already on the Pad when considering new items from the same artists to add to it, and when adding to an hour immediately after the last one in the Log, it uses the items in the previous hour (or hours as necessary) from the log to choose which artists to reject.

The system works using the same Deck principle as AutoTrack. After choosing a song it is thrown towards the back of it's deck The system is designed so that around half the time, songs will go all the way to the back, the remaining times they will go from 75 to 100% of the way down the deck.

Languages:

•	We have added Norwegian and Swedish basic Language translations. Due to changes in the way Languages are selected and stored, you will need to reselect the language you wish to use in Myriad v3.5
•	
•	Audiowall, Importing, SmoothEdit and Instant Carts:
•	
•	When Myriad is first loaded it re-validates the Audiowall and now creates a small 'thumbnail' version of the first picture stored for each cart. These are stored in a 'Thumbs' subfolder of each Cart location
•	Important: In previous versions of Myriad v3.5, Carts were detailed as Category and Genre. They are now known as Content Type and Categories.
•	Important: The Categories (previously Genre) and Content Types (previously Categories) have been changed since Myriad v3.5.3 and earlier so you MUST reset any categorisation you have assigned to Carts.
•	You can now edit the Audiowall Category names via Global Audiowall Settings. You can also edit the mappings that route WMA, mp3 and OGG genre codes to Audiowall Categories.
•	The main Audiowall view now draws more quickly.
•	By default Myriad now displays a thumbnail of the picture assigned to that item's cart. This is also shown on the Cart player. This can be turned off in Customise.
•	SmoothEdit has been slightly rearranged and the Custom Colours option has been adjusted.
•	Myriad now warns you about possible audio pauses if your Scheduled Log is running when you import a compressed file or use the Import Wizard.
•	When using the "Add Folder" option in the Import Wizard, it now includes all audio files in subfolders as well as those directly in the folder itself. 
•	When adding a Folder of files to the Import Wizard, you can now click Cancel to stop any further items being added to the list.
•	The Import Wizard can now Rip CD's when Myriad is running on Windows Vista. The FreeDB interface has also been updated.
•	When importing an mp3 audio file, Myriad now examines the file for both ID3 Version 1 and Version 2 tags.
•	When you scroll along the Audiowall the display now updates immediately rather than waiting until you finish scrolling.
•	The Info icons on the Carts on the Audiowall and the Cart players have been updated.
•	If a Cart has a loop set, this is now displayed on the third line of the cart rather than as a separate icon.
•	There is a new option on the right click menu on the Audiowall that allows you to export the audio to a file using an alternate audio format - i.e. export a WAV based Cart to an mp3 file.
•	The Docked Instant Carts have been de-cluttered to show more title information, and the Duration is now clearer.
•	The Cart "Description" line (line 3) is now stored in the wav file to aid importing of content from other systems. Please note that the CartChunk standard does not allow for this extra 3rd line of information, so it is stored in the "TagText" field within an XML style variable titled <DESCRIPTION> - this information will only be stored in files created by Myriad v3.5.5 and higher. It will not be correctly processed by earlier versions of Myriad or other P Squared Products.
•	The file location that the Local Jump Buttons configuration information is stored in has changed from the folder that Myriad is installed in, to the "Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\P Squared\Myriad v3" folder. By default, Myriad now creates 4 jump buttons for Jingles, Adverts, Promos and Music
•	ALL cart plays are now logged. Previously Myriad would only log Cart Plays if the "Seconds Played" was more than 15% of the item's duration.

Log Updates:

•	Important: The key used to toggle the end of the currently playing item has changed from Backspace to <Ctrl>+<Backspace>
•	When recording Voice links, you can now have Myriad automatically normalise them to a pre-set volume. The setting for this is in the Segue Editor Settings frame in Station Database Settings 
•	The Station Database Settings Window has been rearranged, and the Q-AE tab is now renamed to "Auto-Fade". Voice segue settings are now on the Hook/Seg tab.
•	By default on Audio Items in the Log Display, Myriad now displays a thumbnail of the picture assigned to that item's cart. This can be turned off in Customise.
•	By default, Log "GO" presses are now logged into the P Squared Contacts and Users Directory. Please note that this only stores a Log Entry when a specific "Go" is triggered by a user- i.e. it does not store an entry when Myriad auto-segues from one item to another, or when a user presses "eject" on a cart player.
•	The Carts button now displays a Cart Browser docked at the side of the Log rather than the floating browser.
•	At the end of the Log (after the last item in the Log) there is now a button prompting the user to add more Log entries.
•	There is a new Add Hour to Log from File option. This option can import the files exported above, as well as exported pad runs, CSV files and also Advert and Music Log files. If you select an Advert or Music Log file, it will ask you if you want to load the entire day, or just a single hour. Please note that becuase you select the file to be imported, the system does not check to see if that file is the correct one for the day you are importing into. This is by design so you can load a file from a different day from the one you are loading into. However, the file will be loaded into the 'correct' hours for the selected day - i.e. you may have selected the file for last Thursday, but the 12am hour will be loaded into the 12am hour for the destination day, the 1am will be loaded into 1am and so on. You cannot load the 'wrong' hour from a file into a destination hour.
•	The Icons used to show the segue type of items in the Log (i.e. Auto, Stop and Sweep) have changed to be more suitable for the visually impaired. If you prefer to use the original simple circles instead you can change this setting from inside Customise>Log. There is also another setting of Advanced that uses a more detailed graphic depicting the segue type. 
•	The Log no longer shows a Speaker icon for every log item. Instead, it now only shows icons for those that are missing audio.
•	The Info Icon on the Log Items and the Log Information panel have been updated.
•	In the Log, there is a new option on the right click menu for Hour Start items to Export the hour to a file. This exports a text or XML file describing the hour so it can be imported later. It doesn't export the audio, just the log information.
•	The position of the Segue Editor arrow on the Log Display has been changed to the left hand side so it doesn't cover over the timing information.
•	There is a new option on the System Maintenance menu that allows you to import the settings from another Station Database. This is very useful for easily setting up multiple Station Database, but also if you have a problem with the Station Database and need to create a new one and need to copy the settings across.
•	When playing Split items (Advert Breaks or cart groups) you can now set Myriad to NOT send the dump command when you press the GO key or start the next item in the log running. This setting is in Station Database Settings>OCP/STS Settings tab.

Database:

•	The Database View now has a node for Adverts and this is populated by the Fill Database with Categorised Carts option. In future we hope Traffic systems will also fill this database view.
•	The Database View also now displays Type information for Songs and Links and allows you to filter the results by Type.
•	The "Fill Database with Categorised Carts" process is now considerably faster, and you can now cancel it after it's started.
•	The Icon for Adverts now follows the settings in Station Database Settings.

Customisation and Appearance:

•	Customise Myriad has been updated to allow room for more settings.
•	The Colour Presets have all been updated and replaced with a wider selection.
•	You can now select the Text Colour as well as the Background colour in Customise Myriad.
•	Many graphics have been updated across the product to improve the look on non-blue colour schemes.
•	There is a new Audio Settings Advanced Option to colour code the Cart Players. This sets each of the first 6 cart players to a unique colour allowing colour coding of Mixer channels

Other Changes:

•	Myriad now ships with a tool called the Web File Downloader. This simple application allows you to schedule a resource on the internet to be downloaded to a local file. One example is downloading a file regularly from a News Hub to then be imported into Myriad. It is installed into C:\Program Files\Common Files\P Squared Shared\Web File Downloader.
•	If Myriad detects that the last shutdown was not deliberate and that the Log was running, it has always restarted the Log, however previously if you were using Multiple Profile Configurations it would sit and wait for you to select the Profile to use. It now automatically restarts using the previous configuration. (Please note that forcing a Profile using the Command Line overrides this functionality)

•	There is a new setting that controls whether this computer will create automatic backups of the P Squared Contacts and Users Directory. By default this setting is on (same as in previous versions of Myriad v3) but the Setup Wizard will turn this setting off if you select either of the "On-Air" roles. The "Administation" or "Never On Air" roles leave this setting on so those computers can still do the automatic backups. Note: Usually backups are only taken once a day, and it is done by the first computer to check to see if one has been done. After this, the other computers will check and see that one has already been done and therefore there is no need for another to be taken.
•	When using the Setup Wizard, selecting either of the "On-Air" options disables the options to search the internet for artist information. If you select "Administration" or "Production" then these options are displayed.
•	The Setup Wizard and the Emergency Recovery Utility now both support using SQL Servers for the P Squared Contacts and Users Directory.

•	Myriad can now accept UDP commands via port 6951 as well as the original TCP commands via port 6950
•	New Macro Commands "RECORDER RECORD/CLOSE/PAUSE/RESUME" have been added. Please see the Command Reference for more information.
•	New Macro Commands for the DATABASE have been added. Please see the Command Reference for more information.
•	The automatic sound card detection is now compatible with Delta 1010LT's. Edirol UA-101 and Layla3G cards are now detected correctly under Vista as well as XP
•	This "Update Information" is now not displayed until after you login. 
•	The current logged in user's name is now displayed on the menu bar

Myriad Manager:

•	The colour scheme in Myriad Manager now follows your Customised settings.
•	The Cart Reports in Myriad now update instantly as you perform editing of carts or mass deletes/move etc. instead of waiting for you to entirely re-run the report 
•	When you save Custom Cart Report, it also saves the Start and End cart numbers in the report settings.

The following issues have been fixed:
•	If you customised the Log Font sizes, the display wouldn't update to show these changes until you logged out and back in again.
•	When running on Windows Vista, the right hand edge of the display could slip underneath the right hand edge.
•	The Waiting For Go message was not visible as it was white text on a yellow background.
•	Myriad would exit if you dropped an item onto the AutoPlay area on the Log Display without having a database open.
•	After Myriad runs for the first time, it would prompt you to check the Audiowall even though it had only just been created.
•	When adding an hour to the log with carts, it didn't actually include any carts...
•	Fixed a typo on the Computer Name display when a computer is not in use
•	The "Import A Single file..." option on the Audiowall did not show Transport files, and if you selected one it would cause Myriad to exit.
•	Importing single files onto the Audiowall capitalised the name.
•	Myriad would exit when importing DRM protected Windows Media Files
•	Importing single Windows Media Files did not import the Genre into the Category field.
•	Importing Windows Media files but selecting to Leave in Original Format would result in very low bitrate audio
•	Importing a Transport file did not convert any contained notes information from RTF to TXT
•	If you clicked "Cancel" while Ripping a track using the Import Wizard, Myriad would stop responding.
•	In the Import Wizard, when ripping CD's, clicking "back" on the Summary page would take you straight back to the beginning regardless of the "Skip" tick box
•	When ripping CD's. the Force Content Type and Category Names where disabled unless you enabled CDDB options.
•	Occasionally when converting a link in the Log to a Voice Link it would display the users login name instead of their full name
•	If you copied a Station Database, the original database got "Copy of.." prefixed to it's title instead of the copy.
•	Some extra information such as store ref etc. was not being stored correctly into WAV files.
•	In Myriad Manager, the Play Log Options window would forget the start time that you had entered.
•	In Myriad Manager, the Mass Change Audio Content Type was not changing the Content Type
•	Myriad would exit during startup if you have 3 monitors.
•	The Station Database Log Import tab was not showing where the Log was imported from.
•	You could not include a Station Database in a Support File.
•	If you clicked to close the SmoothEdit window while it was saving it could cause Myriad to exit.
•	In SmoothEdit, you couldn't play any format other than WAV file unless you opened the wave form display
•	The Customise>Allow move carts by drag drop was not being used.
•	If the last item in hour had a red dot, even if the hour was running in Auto or AutoFade, myriad was still coming to a halt and waiting for GO
•	"Fade" ejecting a List player would cause Myriad to exit
•	Even if a user's permissions were set to not allow them to change password, they could still do so using the Change Password menu option
•	Pressing "Go" during a split Advert break would stop the advert break, but not start the next item after the break.

v3.5.3

When a command is triggered via a Hardware line, previously all other hardware inputs and Flashing hardware output lines would cease until the command finished executing. This has now been changed so Commands execute asyncronously so inputs and outputs will continue working.

This version uses a new version of the SmoothStream Core Audio Engine. This is based on the previous version and therefore should not present any new issues. It should allow better compatibility with future Operating Systems such as Windows Vista. Please note that at present Vista remains unsupported, but this version should install on it, unlike previous versions.

The following issues have been fixed:
•	The Audiowall would only auto-import new WAV files. This has now changed so it looks for the type of file specified as the Audio Format - i.e. if you set your default audio format to mp3 it will only auto-import mp3 files. To search for all different types of audio file would be very slow, so it only looks for the default type.
•	
•	v3.5.2
•	
•	You can now specify which Item Types (Adverts/Carts/Links/Songs) can be used in Auto-Hooks via the Station Database Settings window.
•	
•	Initial Support for storing the P Squared Contacts and Users Directory on a MS SQL Server has been added. However, please note that P Squared cannot provide support for this configuration at this time.
•	
•	The following issues have been fixed:
•	The setting to Open a Station Database at startup was not being saved.
•	The Wizard was not saving the setting to say which Database to open at startup
•	The Log would not redraw correctly after Showing or Hiding the Instant Carts or the Pad
•	Myriad would exit if you were prompted with the option to create a new user when you started it up and you selected yes.
•	If you changed the Global Audio Formats, the change would not take place until you restarted Myriad
•	In SmoothEdit,the compress button's caption could be misleading, it has been renamed to say "Convert the Audio..." instead.
•	In SmoothEdit, linking or importing to files was only displaying .WAV files.
•	Scrolling along the More Jumps window would leave Edit and Delete buttons floating in mid-air
•	Adding a range of carts to the Pad would fail if there were carts with no audio in that range.
•	If you double clicked on an entry in the Database view, then clicked the Quick Artist Lookup it would cause Myriad to exit#
•	If you had Myriad connected to OCP via the Local OCP option but then restarted OCP, Myriad would not re-connect.
•	Myriad Manager: The Incorrect Cart lengths Report was a little too sensitive so was picking up a lot more carts than nescessary
•	Myriad Manager: The Scheduled Reports would cause Myriad to exit.

v3.5.1

This is the initial Alpha release of Myriad v3.5 to selected users. 

Myriad has had a complete overhaul from the bottom up due to a completely new Audio Engine "SmoothStream(TM) v3". As part of this work, hundreds of other changes and updates have also been included to improve the speed, performance, reliability and usability of the various parts of the Myriad Family.  

Some of the new features are:
•	Improved Setup Wizard - The Setup Wizard has been overhauled to make it much easier to setup Myriad, but also easier to use some of the more Advanced features straight from the Wizard if you want to.  For instance, the wizard now automatically configures Myriad with optimal settings for many Soundcards and also Advantech Hardware Cards if installed.
•	Completely overhauled graphics engine increases performance as well as allowing individual users to alter the basic colour scheme of Myriad.
•	Quick Artist Information lookup - A new menu option is available on the AudioWall, Log Display and Information menu on the Cart Players - "Display Artist Information from the Internet" does exactly that - when clicked, it opens the Artists Website on the internet. As a cautionary note though, you should make sure that you have changed your system default sound device to a channel that doesn't go to air in case that website makes a noise! You can disable this new option in Myriad Settings>General Options if you need to.
•	Improved Command setup and configuration - Commands have a new Window, rather than being part of the Myriad Settings Window. 
•	Dozens of new "Macro Commands" (formerly known as "Myriad Commands") - please see below for more information about new command types.
•	Improved Configuration Profile Management - Myriad now remembers the last Profile you selected, and the buttons now have icons showing the type of the Profile - such as Local/Network etc.
•	Improved Security and Logging - The Directory now logs Settings being changed, as well as Macro Commands being executed
•	New "Local OCP" Control - You now don't have to use OCP as the On-Air Controller to get information onto your website, in fact you don't even have to have a Station Log open. Instead, you can just configure your Myriad System to always talk to OCP regardless of whether you are "On-Air" or not.

New Audio Features:
•	Totally new AudioEngine that support non-WAV formats such as mp3, WMA, Ogg vorbis etc. Carts can also be given Category and Genre Information, as well as a Macro Command to execute whenever that cart is played. 
•	Much faster and improved Find/Search Cart feature on the AudioWall and the Search feature in the Audio Browser - now typically 5 times faster.
•	SmoothEdit has been given a facelift and also has new features like the ability to "compress" the audio in a cart to a specified format - ideal for converting a specified cart to one of the new formats i.e. mp3
•	Significantly faster SmoothEdit startup SmoothEdit has been re-written so the amount of time it takes to load the Edit Windows when editing a cart has been reduced considerably.
•	The Import Audio Wizard has been completely overhauled to make it much easier (and faster) to use with new features such as automatic CD title download when inserting a CD, skipping of non-essential questions as well as being able to import all the new file types and even convert them on the fly in to an alternate format. 
•	New look to the Pad as well as new features such as Add Range (adds a random selection of carts from an area of the Audiowall), Shuffle to randomise the carts that are on it and Send To player which sends the entire contents of the Pad to a Player in a list. Send to Scheduled Log does exactly the same but adds the Pad to the Scheduled Log. You can also now load and save Music and Advert Log files as well as CSV files to make it easy to import lists from schedulers and other systems.
•	Simplified List Player - used by the Auto-Hook feature - has been overhauled to show more information in a smaller space, and you can also now "minimise" it out of the way.
•	Instant Carts - You can now Cue an Instant Cart by holding down the <Control> key while pressing the number key - i.e. <Ctrl>+1 will cue the first instant cart in a player

New Database Features:
•	Auto-Fill the database by using the new Category and Genre coding on Carts. Once you have setup the Categories and Genres on your carts you can have them automatically added to your Database view for the fastest possible searches.

•	New Log Features:
•	Simplified Log Display means information is displayed more clearly, including large fonts for the selected item, a new Hour Type Bar to show you what Type of Hour you are in, and the ability to Customise the Log Display for your own personal preferences.
•	Auto-Hooks can now read ahead multiple hours to allow you to prom forward after news breaks etc. There are new settings for the order to play the hooks in, as well as a setting to control whether Auto-Hooks should only hook up to the next Auto-Hook, or whether they can read beyond that. If there are no carts available in the hours to Auto-Hook, you can now specify a generic Alternate item to play instead - for example a standard Music Positioner

New Myriad Manager Features:
•	Improved Reporting You can now search for carts that have recently been created as well as recently modified
•	Easier Copyright Reporting means you can now configure and save regular Copyright Reports as well as having much more control over the report results. The results also now use the new Audio Category information in carts to determine the Copyright Type (i.e. Music/Station ID etc.)
•	Easier electronic submission each different type of Copyright Report (i.e. UK PRS, IMRO Commercial etc.) now defaults to exporting electronic "CSV" files for submission in the correct format.

New Options:
•	Audiowall: Option to display the whole of a cart on the Audiowall with the Cart's Backcolor rather than just the inner title area. This option is off by default becuase on some computers it can be quite a slow operation.
•	Audiowall Settings (Global) : This option is now available on the main Settings menu to make it easier to adjust the shared Audiowall Settings - such as number of carts, picture filename extension etc.
•	System Maintenance on the Tools menu: this has options to auto-fill the database, as well as take a backup of the audiowall information and verify it is accurate and valid for Myriad v3.5 to use.

New Commands (See the Command Reference for more information):
•	"IF ()" Conditional execution - this allows you to have the same command perform differently at different times/in different situations - i.e. a command might play a certain cart on a sunday afternoon but different at other times, or a command may only execute if a hardware line is in a certain state.
•	New top level "AudioWall" command set: This replaces the older "Cart","HardDisk" and "HDItem" commands. It also adds Import AudioFile, Move, Copy and Delete commands. The Import AudioFile imports an audio file into a specified cart, or the first available cart in a specified range.
•	New top Level "Player" command set: With Play, Cue, Pause, and Close commands

Changes to Command System:
•	By default, the ability to remotely control Myriad using TCP/IP connections (such as via Nexus) is turned off. You must turn this option on from Myriad Settings>General Options>Other Options
