Announcing Isadora 3.0.8 - macOS Big Sur Compatibility, New Features and Improvements

mark

We are pleased to announce the release of Isadora 3.0.8. This is primarily a maintenance release that ensures compatibility with macOS Big Sur and addresses bugs, but also includes numerous improvements to existing features and one major new feature: multichannel audio routing with the Sound Player actor. This feature will be expanded to work with the Movie Player actors in the next release, but to see what you can do right now check out this new knowledge base article. For a full list of improvements and fixes, please see the Isadora 3.0.8 Release Notes.

You can download this new version from our Get It page.

We are notifying users about this release gradually. Today, in the forum, later this week on social media, and first thing next week via an email to all users. If you have any problems at all -- from simply downloading this new version to something more serious -- please alert us immediately by opening a ticket with the support team.

Finally, we would like to extend our thanks to our incredible beta testers who have not only pointed out bugs along the way, but offered invaluable insights about this version as it was in development.

Thank you to all for your generosity and enthusiasm.

Onward and forward,
The TroikaTronix Team

Thanks so much for the update to get Isadora compatible with macOS Big Sur!

Are there compatibility issues needing to be addressed with Macs running the new ARM chip, or will this update provide compatibility for both Intel and M1 Macs running Big Sur? I'd be interested in helping beta test anything still needed to get Isadora compatible on the M1.

Best,

Congrats on the new release, and thank you Mark and the Izzy team so much for all the work behind this.

I just took some time to read through the new release notes and skimmed through the whole Izzy 3 release notes as a review/refresh my memories, and wow, I'm still reminded by how many good stuff are there that I sometimes forget to try them out and embody them <3 :)

AMAZING!

Some great updates! The Izzymap and mouse watcher improvements will help me a lot.

The Live Capture updates are massive too! 4k capture woohooo!

@woland I know that this is ways back but how well is isadora working in emulation mode.
I'm thinking of picking up a mac mini as a quick throw in a bag fast deployment machine with a decent array of ports, but I'm a bit concerned that performance will be an issue untila native version of isadora rolls around, my current project is mostly running a whole bunce of inputs from usb capture devices (and occasionally recording them) is the emulation going to get in my way?
