A few spoilers coming in the next release!

Presets, save a signal fixtures or all fixtures attributes such as position, colour, gobo etc to be recalled to any scene in a cue. Change the preset and will automatically update the cue.
Shape tool, seems the bugs are fixed and works the way we wanted.
NEW graphics, menu bars , scroll bars, buttons, and icon looks pretty ;).
FS now indicates which fixtures are currently in a scene when creating a cue.
Windows can now be reset to their default position! No More lost windows.
Fades are shown when previewing a sequence in the cue creator, and can be disabled I.e All become snap to view scenes.
backups will now only restore saves from the current version, Unfortunately meaning no more backwards compatibility for locations but removes the out of bounds error.
Folders can now be removed from the save scene/cue manager.
Point Open Play -> Now allows a cue to be selected open and played straight from the insert sequence window in the cue manager.
Cue list buttons, saved cue lists from the fast cue switcher can now be assigned to a button, and will play all the cues in the list when the button is selected.
Removed message boxes which could pause the program.
Sequence name in cue fixed when added with save dialog.
Bug fixed with midi and mousecursor, selecting and locking to adjusted parameter via midi.
Bug fixed with overrides not allowing changes until channel was released .
Cue Player updated, more friendly GUI.

Should be coming soon Currently 2.98E

That all sounds great. I've been using FS a lot recently. I ran a large stage for 10 days with live bands each night. Quite a big rig consisting of moving heads, parcans via dimmers, leds etc etc. No real problems at all. I can't wait for the updated version. Thanks fellas for all the hard work that has gone in to this software. Cheers from Alan

Do you need any BETA testers? I want to create a 1 page pdf advertising the new features. Maybe even some How To video's for my website to help DJ's.

We are currently testing a new beta which will become (I hope) the next release.

Here's a complete list of all the added functions:

- Some UI changes (new icons, colors)
- Added a new touchscreen UI
- Added new password security
- Added a simple sequence generator (sine, cosine and saw)
- Added "Ignore blackout" function
- Added "quick save" for saving sequences
- Added "disable all other buttons" in overridebuttons
- Clone fixture function added
- Up to 12 fixtures can be controlled by the DMX400
- Disable/enable fixture (no values are send to that fixture)
- Disable/enable playback fixture (no playbackvalues are send to that fixture)
- Added select next, previous, even and odd fixtures (keyboard and midi shortcuts)
- Added LOCATE function to locate fixtures (you can configure custom values in the profile)
- Icon added on fixture when override active
- Indication during sequence creation if a fixture is actif in a sequence (yellow= actif, red= actif with preset values)
- Added some new programs to the DMX400
- Added play cuelist buttons: save a cuelist and play that cuelist with one button !
- Added option to reset windows positions
- 16bit pan & tilt fades
- Added 60 presets
- Import/Export sequences and cues for uploading to a Martin 2510 controller (Martin "Download to 2510" tool needs to be installed)

Enhancements:

- Changed Freeze and blackout behaviour
- DMX400 settings are saved
- Some improvements in the DMX400
- previous location files and backups are refused (most problems were caused by old files)
- Removed Winamp synchronization because of limitations
- Sequences are no longer compatible, but can be converted by opening and saving them in the sequence editor.
- General enhancements

- Many bug fixes
