Release Notes for JMRI 4.4 release

Date: June 30, 2016

From: Matthew Harris

Subject: Production version 4.4 of JMRI/DecoderPro is available for download.

We are very pleased to announce that the 4.3 series of JMRI test releases has resulted in a version that's good enough to be recommended for general use, including by new users. We're therefore making that version, "Production version 4.4" available for download today.

Notes:

JMRI is now only available under the GNU General Public License. For more information, please see our copyright and licensing page.

Older warnings

See the JMRI 4.2.1 release note for older warnings that may be relevant to you if you're updating from an earlier version.

LocoTools, no longer supported since JMRI 2.10, has been removed from the Linux and OS X distributions.

When sharing a configuration between this version and JMRI 4.3.4 or older, the older version of JMRI will not reflect changes in preferences, window position, table sorting, column order, or other user interface state. This is due to changes in how user preferences and interface state are stored.

You can now set the order of your startup items: If you're opening panel files, running scripts, etc as the program starts up, there's a preferences pane that lets you easily set the order in which those happen. If you've set the order manually (e.g. by editing configuration files) in the past, please check this preference to make sure it's set the way you want.

The DispatcherPro, JMRI Demo, and SignalPro applications are no longer shipped in distributions. Use PanelPro in lieu of these applications.

The internals of the Layout Editor have been reworked a bit. Please keep an eye out for any changed behaviors.
