New Features 

• Auri™ Manager now includes checking for and notifying users of available software updates.

Improvements

Bug Fixes

  • Repeated use of the Refresh button can cause authenticated devices to incorrectly report an authentication failure.
  • The “Unable to communicate with ….” error displays user input instead of the device’s IP address.
  • Devices may not be automatically discovered or marked as online if no other devices are currently online.
  • Offline transmitters appear with a “Network Error” status instead of correctly showing as “Offline.”
  • The Remove button does not always successfully remove devices from the list.
• Firmware Auri™ Devices Update: May fail to update over a link-local connection.
• Firmware RX1 Firmware Update: Now correctly displays progress and current status.
• Import/Export: After importing settings, devices may report communication failures until Auri™ Manager is restarted.
• Logging: Duplicate notifications may appear when devices are discovered, or the Refresh button is used.
