12/28/07 - IRCommand2 Version 3.87 Summary of New Features - Download Now
New features include:

  1. Bug Fixes - see Bug List for details.
  2. Scope - the scope is now always enabled to allow manual entry of a new signal without an existing signal defined.
  3. COM interface - functions FindButton, ClickButton, and ClickNumber now perform a more thorough search for a specified button path making it easier to access buttons via these functions.
  4. USB-UIRT - automatic "accept burst" feature now implemented. Pressing OK with partial train progress now returns a signal for the UIRT dongle. This allows training with remotes that do not continuously repeat the signal when a button is held down.

7/30/05 - IRCommand2 Version 3.72 Summary of New Features
New features include:

  1. Larger Device Panel - the IRC2 main window and the device panel area are now larger to allow more room for your layouts.
  2. Re-Sizable Buttons - all buttons are now dynamically re-sizable to any desired size.
  3. Button Icons - all buttons can now support icons and/or text labels. In XP with a theme active it's also possible to display both an icon and text in a button.
  4. New Icon Choices - more icon shapes have been added to the selection available for buttons.
  5. Best-Fit Button Labels - button labels now have a "best fit" option that automatically selects the icon or font size to best fit the button's current size.
  6. Re-Sizable Groups - Buttonkit groups can now be re-sized to one of 3 pre-set sizes: Small, Medium, and Large.
  7. User-Defined Groups - The Buttonkit now contains an empty (unbound) group box that can be used to create your own button group configurations. User-defined groups can contain buttons as well as other groups.
  8. Group Labels - All groups now support labels -- not just state groups.
  9. Re-Designed Button Kit - The Buttonkit has been completely re-designed and optimized as a result of the above new features. Also, the Buttonkit can now be used while a property sheet is active.
  10. Drag All - allows moving all buttons in a device panel at once.
  11. "Toggle Bit" Support - New IR device send options provide more control over the signal sent when a button is clicked.
  12. Power-ON Delay - A device panel can now automatically delay button clicks for a pre-set time if the device has just powered up.

11/22/04 - IRCommand2 Version 3.62 Summary of New Features
New features include:

  1. New Hardware Support -- Home-electro Tira2™ and My.TV MyBlaster™ are now supported. 
  2. Copy / Paste -- Device panels, buttons, and signals now have copy/paste features to allow replicating them or to copy button properties or signals to a new button shape. Device copy will create a complete new copy of a device panel. 
  3. More Efficient -- IRC2 has been optimized to minimize Windows resource usage. This improvement has the most benefit for users of Win95/98/ME where it is now possible to create many more device panels and buttons without exhausting windows resources.
  4. Hidden Device Panels -- Device panels can now be flagged as "hidden", which removes them from the device tab list when not in Learn mode.
  5. Lite Registration -- A Lite registration option has been added. Check the registration page for details of the features offered.
  6. Re-Sizable State Groups -- State groups can now be re-sized to contain anywhere from 2 to 8 buttons.
  7. XP Theme Support -- IRC2 now fully supports XP themes (screenshot). Buttons will now appear consistent with the theme selected for the system.
  8. Custom IR Band Feature -- The "Custom" band option in device properties allows direct entry of a kHz value to use for the device ranges from 32kHz to over 100kHz.
  9. Signal Editing -- The scope dialog now includes two "trim" buttons that allow trimming a signal from the left and right sides.
  10. Bug Fixes -- see Bug List for details.

5/1/04 - IRCommand2 Version 3.50 Summary of New Features
The new version contains a number of new features, all of which are free to registered users. Demo users can also sample the new features, though there are some restrictions. The new and improved features include:

  1. X10 -- Support for X10 control via the CM11A and HD11A (IBM Home Director) computer interfaces. X10 support includes not only sending of commands, but also listening and responding to X10 triggers, etc. An X10 "dongle" used in conjunction with one or more IR200L dongles can be set up to do some interesting crossover control between infrared and X10. Change the station on your radio using an X10 controller pad, or turn on a light with your favorite IR remote control. Version 3.50 supports up to 4 dongles (demo users are still limited to one dongle).
  2. Timers -- All buttons now include a new "time trigger" property that enables triggering of a button on a set weekly time schedule, including randomized time settings for security applications. Time triggers will even wake up a PC from standby mode to execute (Win98 and up). A time schedule viewer and a time trigger print function are also included.
  3. Event Logging -- IRC2 can optionally log execution of time trigger events in the operating system event log (Win XP/2K/NT only).
  4. Click Delays -- Macros now support a special delay button type that can be inserted into a macro sequence to create delays ranging from one second to several days.
  5. Viewers -- A new View menu item contains viewers for key triggers, time triggers, and one that displays the timer event schedule (events that were scheduled by time triggers and click delays).
  6. Program Options -- A new Options menu under Setup allows control of the new logging feature, some viewer options, and a new option to minimize IRC2 to the system tray.
  7. Button Property Sheets -- There have been a number improvements made to the button and group property displays to make them easier to use.
  8. Button Kit -- The button kit has been updated and includes some new button types.
  9. Activators -- Some users may be familiar with the activator property for state groups. Now, all buttons have an activator property that allows a state button to activate and deactivate any button. A deactivated button ignores all clicks, time triggers, etc. until it is activated.
  10. Help -- is now a little easier to use. Important dialogs, such as the property sheets now include the "?" icon to make it easier to indicate exactly where you need help.
  11. IR200 Interface Improvements -- Significant improvements have been made to the control logic for the IR200 dongle to make it more reliable on a wider range of PC configurations. The changes have also greatly improved the reliability of the IR200 when it is used with a USB-serial converter (more on that once the new version is released).
  12. Many Other Minor Fixes and Improvements too numerous to mention, including that pesky nag screen fix for demo users.
