USA / Europe - When ETC bought the Avab brand three years ago, they promised to continue to support and develop it: now, the company has announced that it has kept its promise with the release of v3.5 in October 04 and now v3.6 of the popular Safari software.

In response to requests from users, the upgrade includes improved scroller handling, display of device addresses in patch and editing timegroups in blind (including extended drag-and-drop functionality). A history of status files now allows the user to go back to un-recorded play. A few issues experienced by a small number of users have also been resolved.

Safari v3.6 is available as a free upgrade for a limited time. Current v3.5 users can simply email the address below, indicating whether they want a download link (about 4MB) or a disk set. Other v3.x users can register at www.avabcontrol.com to receive details of how to upgrade free of charge. Users can also register in order to be kept up to date with future upgrades. The software will run in systems with a minimum processing power of 800MHz and 64MB RAM. Users with a system running Safari v2 or older will need to contact their dealer for a hardware upgrade.
