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

v4.0.23

Advert Details:
•	The "History" tab has been renamed to "Schedule" to indicate that it is showing past and future schedules of the Advert, not actual Play History
•	Schedule Printing: You can now print the Schedule grid from the Advert's Schedule tab. This is a simple printout of the hours that the advert was scheduled to played in.

v4.0.22

Advert Log Viewer:
•	Printing: When printing Advert Logs you are now asked to confirm which printer to use and you can also select whether to print the entire log or just the Selected items

The following issues have been fixed:
•	Advert Report Options: You had to click to close and reopen the "To" date range to make it fully visible.
•	Advert Log Viewer: Clicking the "Display Log From" a second time would get the start time wrong.

v4.0.21

Myriad Advert Manager has a new icon.

The following issues have been fixed:
•	Add New Contact: If you used the button on the Advert Window to add a new Contact then you could only do this for 10 contacts before you couldn't then create any more.

v4.0.19

SmoothEdit:
•	New Clipping Feature: There are new buttons in both Preview and Full Edit to export the currently highlit section as a temporary Clip to the Pad. These can then be played or mixed down as usual into other carts making this an incredibly powerful way of quickly building up a sequence of clips 
•	New SnapShot Feature: There is a new Create Snapshot button on the main SmoothEdit Toolbar - clicking this will take a snapshot of the current Audio and store it a "Snapshots" subfolder of the Audiowall. You can then revert back to this SnapShot by clicking the drop down option next to that button. To turn this feature on you need to turn on the SnapShots option on the "Global AudioWall Settings" window on the "Other Tab". These SnapShots are duplicated when copying a cart. They are also moved and deleted along with the original cart.
•	Insert From Pad: In Full Edit, there are 2 new options on the Paste dropdown to insert the entire contents of the current Pad mixed together, or to Mix Insert the current pad over the top of the current Edit.
•	The Selection Length is now displayed in Full Waveform Edit as well as in Waveform Preview

Pad:
•	SmoothEdit Clips: Clips that have been added to the Pad from SmoothEdit can be dragged from the Pad onto the AudioWall to Import them as new Carts.
•	After exporting a Pad to a Cart, you are now asked if you want to Jump to that cart on the AudioWall - previous versions of Myriad Playout would ask if you wanted to play that item immediately instead.

User Security:
•	The Directory History Application Names have been updated to reflect the new Myriad Family naming scheme.

Other Changes:
•	The main Logo has been updated to reflect the new Myriad Family naming scheme.
•	Support for displaying non European character sets has been extended across most windows within the Advert Manager

The following issues have been fixed:
•	Print Advert Log: The Advert Manager would only print a single line of the Advert Report. You can now multi-select which lines to print.

v4.0.18

Importing from v3 Databases:
•	More information is now displayed during the import process to tell you how many adverts have been found and how many imported etc.

Contact and User Importer Tool:
•	You can now import Contacts and Users from other P Squared Contacts and Users Directories - this is particuarly useful when migrating from an Access based Directory to a SQL based one.

The following issues have been fixed:
•	Import Wizard: After importing a file from a folder, you could not delete that folder until you had closed Myriad AutoTrack
•	Myriad Advert Manager would exit if you tried to create a Category or Collision with a gap between it and other items in the same grid in Advert Database Settings.

v4.0.17

You can now create new Contact Categories directly from the Edit Contact window.

v4.0.15

The following issues have been fixed:
•	SmoothEdit: Myriad would exit if you tried playing back audio or zooming in/out when looking at the 'Other' Tab
•	The Advert Manager Settings window had "AutoTrack" at the top.

v4.0.14

Database Access:
•	The Advert Manager now loads quicker due to reducing the number of times that the Database's structure is checked before being opened.

Database Upgrades:
•	If you open a database that was created by an earlier release of Myriad then you will now be prompted before the database is upgraded.
•	To prevent Myriad upgrading a database structure (which will stop older releases of Myriad from opening it) you can add the string (UL) - including the brackets - to the description. Myriad will detect this and refuse to open and upgrade the database.
•	The Database Description Table has a new column of UpgradesBlocked that allows you to prevent this - and future - versions of Myriad from upgrading the database.

v4.0.12

Adverts List:
•	The list of Adverts now displays significantly quicker.

Advert Categories:
•	In Myriad AutoTrack v4 you can now specify an Advert Category for Advert Breaks and Split Advert Breaks in the Clocks. This is then used by Myriad Advert Manager to determine which adverts are able to be scheduled into that clock position.

Break Finder:
•	The Break Finder is now much quicker - however due to a bug during scheduling in older releases of AutoTrack, you will only see the correct number of Breaks listed for Scheduled Hours created by Myriad AutoTrack v4.0.11 or higher.

Scheduling Adverts:
•	Scheduling is now quicker, particularly on Log Hours with a lot of entries in them.

Reports:
•	Myriad Advert Manager can now create much larger Copyright Reports covering entire months instead of only being able to reliably run with smaller date periods.

Database Structure Changes:
•	Advert, Advert Category and Advert Collision tables are now all added to the database by default (previously they were only added if you launched the Myriad Advert Manager)

v4.0.11

The following issues have been fixed:
•	The Number of Adverts Per Hour was including adverts in the 'Held' Category

v4.0.9

Release Notes:

This Release of the Advert Manager adds support for up to 32 Advert Categories and 32 Collision Types. It also has an "Import" function to import Myriad Advert Manager v3 databases, as well as a Per Advert History grid on the Advert Details window allowing you to see where it has been scheduled.

Advert Categories:
•	An Advert placed in the <Held> category will not be scheduled regardless of any of it's other settings. 
•	Adverts placed into any Category other than <Held> will then be available for scheduling.
•	For this initial release of the Advert Manager, there are no other options related to Categories.

Advert History:
•	The History tab on the Advert Window shows you the places that the Advert has been scheduled into the log. 
•	Please note that for items in the Log that have not yet been played, this grid is filled using the Estimated Start time. 
•	This will only show Advert Schedule by this version of Advert Manager - Adverts added using older versions or added via other products (such as Myriad Playout or AutoTrack) will not be shown in this grid.

Import Database
•	When a Myriad Advert Manager v3 Database is imported, the old Hard and Soft Collisions are imported into the first 16 of the new Collisions with suitable names, with the 1-8 being used for imported 'hard' collisions, and 9-16 being used for imported Soft Collisions. Once you have completed the import process you should review your adverts and where possible consolidate the Collisions (for example if you have 2 Collision Types of "Food (Hard)" and "Food (Soft)" then you could rename the "Food (Hard)" Collision to just "Food" and then edit all the adverts that have "Food (Soft)" and tick the Soft column for the "Food" Collision. once done you can then delete the "Food (Soft)" Collision freeing it up for future use.
