Release Notes 5.0
Here are the official release notes that describe what's new in ClassX Broadcast Applications 5.0
The new Suite 5.0, represents the culmination of years of work, carried out according to a precise logic: unifying the development environment to facilitate the user experience. This purpose has led to the formation of basic concepts as the current timeline, keyframes, datasource, media management, and more generally ensuring common operability found in all ClassX products.
The orthogonal development of applications easier and halves the time to research and removal of bugs, and exponentially increases the consistency of the GUI and functions, reducing the learning curve for the user. Moreover, the various technologies introduced in this release are inherited by all ClassX software.
