2018.8 released
This release sees a tech stack uplift. We are using latest CodeBlocks, Wxwidgets and Mingw compiler. We so these uplifts like every two years. There may be some things to work around. If you are a Windows 10 user you may need to run xlights in windows compatability mode. Your testing of the latest release helps Daniel Kulp, Gil Jones and Keith Westley to find the issues and fix them. Think of al of you as our beta testers for 2018.8. If you want, just wait a few weeks for any early issues to be resolved. I have tried 2018.8 and do not see any big issues.
