Supported Device Firmware Version:

New Features:

Added HTTP support for 3^rd-party device control, specifically to support the Sennheiser SSCv2 media control protocol.
Lua drivers are now automatically downloaded upon initial start of Xilica Designer, eliminating issues attempting to open files containing uninstalled Xilica drivers. Please note that new drivers will not show up in the Component Library in Project view until they have completed downloading. Download status can be monitored in the Lua Editor Device Driver List.

New Enhancements:

Added Solaro 3^rd-Party Control API capability for Gio Bluetooth text and status fields (Bluetooth Name, Connection Status, Host Mac, Streaming Status)
Added Solaro 3^rd-Party Control API capability for Gio USB text and status fields (USB Device Name, Connection Status)
Changed Solaro QR1 initial heat warning from yellow temperature indicator to fan indicator for 50C to prevent user confusion. Fan icon is displayed at 50C when low speed fan is activated.

Bug Fixes:

Removed warning message pop-up on XTouch for panel file mismatch between XTouch and Solaro Controller.
Removed and updated older Xilica part numbers in Designer BOM export.
Fixed issue where Lua device controls were mistakenly showing in Xilica Design Project view component library.
Removed warning message for out of date main board BIOS on Solaro Device Option Configuration tab as all new firmware now includes BIOS updates.

Known Issues:

A PoE compatibility issue has been noted between Sonia Amp and certain TPLink PoE switches. To ensure proper operation of Sonia Amp, Xilica recommends only PoE-enabled network switches and injectors that have been Xilica qualified, and this list is located here: https://support.xilica.com/s/article/Compatibility-of-PoE-power-delivery-devices-for-Xilica-products
It is possible for the Solaro QR1 or FR1-D to get stuck in a boot cycle if Dante is configured for a static IP address and the unit is not connected to a Dante network. To avoid this issue, please ensure that the Solaro device is connected to a Dante network upon boot up.
Populating the FR1/FR1-D with more than 4 XC-SUB cards can result in a boot-cycle of the DSP.
When switching a Solaro DSP device from 48K to 96K sampling rate (or vice versa), the number of Dante I/O displayed in Dante View will not update to the new I/O configuration. Restart Xilica Designer to obtain the new Dante I/O configuration.
