Like Spogg and his cousin would say: "Fascinating!"

I think Martin will love this version, once it is bug-free. Very interesting, although I hoped for 64-bit and/or VST 3.0

wow... Christmas came early this year... time to upgrade I suppose... Reading through the change-log, they've added everything we've been asking for and possibly could've asked. Only thing I see missing is optional memory alignment for mems and frames.

I would like to take the opportunity to discuss the Client and Server primitives,
which seem to have problems to send buffer larger than 256 bytes,
and also the Client have problems with port binding, it does not receive any data,
with various external servers I have tested.

So if there was the possibility to set the receiving port on the Client primitive,
instead of always having a random port, it would be better,

while for the Server primitive, it should be able to set its own IP,
and also be able to set the max buffer output byte for both primitive.

Hoping, Malc will read the post.

Goodness grace! Is that MyCo's handwriting there? Santa is ahead of schedule this year!

I've got a keyboard, no need for handwriting anymore

Is it possible and ok to install this and keep my current 3.08.1 version fully intact?
Would there be a conflict or over-writing of any resources and registry keys etc?

Cheers

One option would be:
1. rename your 3.0.8 program folder to something else
2. install the 3.0.9 into the old original directory (which doesn't exist anymore after renaming it)
Then whenever you want you can exchange those folders to switch versions

Another option (which is actually easier to handle) would be like this:
1. open Regedit and export the key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\DSPRobotics\FlowStone to some file
2. install 3.0.9 to a different program directory (so you don't overwrite the old version)
3. open Regedit and export the key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\DSPRobotics\FlowStone to some other file

To switch versions you just double click on the corresponding regedit export file.

UPDATE for Option2:
On some systems (probably all 64bit windows) you'll have to use the reg key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\DSPRobotics\FlowStone

If you aren't sure, check the registry keys for a value with the name "Install Folder". You'll have to use the key that has this value in it.

Thanks MyCo

What about all the appdata stuff (Windows 7)?

C:\Users\Spogg\AppData\Roaming\FlowStone

If I don't isolate this some of it will surely get overwriten?

I'm nervous of ending up with a broken current version and a possibly buggy beta version!

you can backup the folder before installing the 3.0.9 but the installer shouldn't change anything there
