There seems to be an issue with the layout tab. After install 05 most of my layout was gone.

On 3/24, someone added code to do a z sort while drawing. Your layout stuff is still there, just hidden. If you have a 2D layout, I'd advise using .04 until the fix is released.
 
Yeah, I should have said I reverted back to 04 and everything was fine.

Windows defender will also trigger on it because xlights is not a signed program.

Oh Great! Yes - I have Windows Defender. How do any of you get around it?

Edit:
I still have one computer without Windows Defender. Was able to download it to it, install, and start.
I too lost my layouts. (See #s 6, 7, 8 above.) Reinstalled .4 and all is working again.
Will wait till those with better brains than I have a chance to overcome this little problem.

Thanks to the Dev Crew. Looking forward to what you come up with this year.

As MS continues to tighten the Windows platform, unsigned apps aka "unknown publisher" apps are becoming more laden with warnings about unsafe code etc. Signing the installers and executables also ...

This was raised a while back, but if you have any screenshots, please add them to this ticket.
I have bumped it back up for some focus.
 
We have been doing the acceptance route for years. No problems, usually.

For several days now the download has failed - during download - with a warning that a virus was detected.
Just for the sake of frustration, I am downloading on a Windows Defender machine.
As of a few minutes ago, it is now working. At least the download is.
I have lost my layout, as has been mentioned before, so I'll downgrade to .4 (again).
 
Thank you to all of the developers for the very quick IOS fix, I appreciate how hard you all work on this software.

Although it was not a major issue, yesterday, I unknowingly had an issue with my Time Capsual backups, it had stopped 2 days ago for some unknown reason, so I could not easily revert back to 23.04, and it was not available in the App Store any more.

I went to https://dankulp.com/xlights/archive/ but the last IOS version in the file list was 23.01.dmg, so could not revert back to 23.04, but as I said not a big deal in the whole scheme of things.

Not sure if it is Dan Kulp who adds the old versions to the IOS archive or not, but wanted to let whoever does take care of the IOS archive, that it is a couple of versions behind.

Once again, a really big thank you to all of you who work so hard to produce such a great product.
