AreaDescriptionNotes
Update

New feature: added options to gradually increase server update period when the user does not ask for updates manually. It can help to avoid overloading busy servers. This feature can be controlled from the server setting dialogue (Edit -> Preferences -> Server options). Usage:

  • When option Increase server update period when inactive is enabled the server update period is increased at every automatic update until the maximum period is reached. If the user in the meantime updates the server manually the update period is set back to its original value and whole process starts again.
  • Option Server update period increment defines the update period increment in seconds
  • Option Do not increase server update period over defines the maximum update period in minutes.        

By default this feature is enabled.

Output logsNew feature: a new button was added to the Output panel. By clicking on it a popup window shows detailed information about the output log file shown in the panel.
