We wanted to say a massive thank you to everyone who’s downloaded the first beta (which you can still get if you’re a FoCal Pro license holder from the LMS at Sorry if we haven’t replied to your contact, but we have read all the information sent through and it’s been instrumental in some of the fixes and improvements we’ve put in to this latest version. The plan is to get a release out by the middle of next week, and as an added bonus we hope to get a Windows FoCal 1.7 beta out at the same time, with all the same improvements listed above. the chart bug described above), documentation to update, installer packages to create etc before we can make the next beta available. There are still a few more minor bugs to fix (e.g. Push yes and it updates in about 20 seconds. The firmware update button reads the lens’ firmware and lets you know if you need a firmware update. Once you hook things up the program the program opens to a nice, straightforward main page. We were trying to get something out today, but there’s just not enough time. Open the software, put the lens in the USB dock, and plug the USB port in your computer. There have been some other fixes to stability and operation of FoCal with help from the feedback from all the testers. While we still can’t run on Mountain Lion yet (due to missing support from Canon – due early October), there appears to have been an issue with OSX 10.6 also which we think is now fixed. What’s more, all the core code fixes will automatically make their way back into the Windows version, which means we can keep both Windows and OSX versions running together with no delays. We’ve corrected several things which could have slightly affected the reliability of the analysis as well as loads of minor fixes in other areas. In order to get the Mac version of FoCal developed, we’ve had to revisit every piece of code, and in doing that we’ve corrected lots of little issues that were present in previous versions.
