DDP V4 Update - Release Notes

Archiware support: currently DDP supports Archiware P5 up to 5.4.4.

Older releases of V4 before V4.00.019b were both 32bit and 64bit compatible. Releases after that are only 64bit compatible. All Mac clients should be using AVFS version 2.5.1 or later for compatibility with DDP V4.

V4.01.019

- Added symlink conversion support for V4 to V5 Upgrades. Before updating to V5, customers utilizing symlinks on their V4 DDP, should update to V4.01.019 and mount the ‘ddpvolume’ on a client computer in order to convert symlinks in the DDP’s database.

V4.01.018

- Fix for rare race condition when node update fails on OSX 

- Support for incoming filename normalisation. To set use commands (at

DDP console/ssh login):

'set-normalise-decompose' to normalize to decomposed filenames

(preferred setting)

'set-normalize-compose' to normalise to composed strings (use when

application can not handle decomposed filenames)

'set-normalise-default' to use default server setting, which currently

is not to normalise filenames. This is setting used up to V4.01.016.

V4.01.016

- Fix for cache invalidate (on demand cache mode) causing corrupt audio Pro Tools export

V4.01.014

- Disabled re-attach after desktop network connection loss
