I know, I know… It has been a long wait for JSonar7 users… And not all of you can upgrade to the shiny Sonar 8.3.1. But the good news is here…

I have just updated JSonar7 with the following additions from JSonar8 (please use only English language installer for now):

• It is now possible to use experimental “clips pane” support. Please see how do I use clips pane with JSonar FAQ for more information and instructions.
• Announcement of “punch from” and “punch through” points with control+shift+f11 and control+shift+f12 respectively.
• “JSonar Utilities” menu can now be accessed using control+shift+f1 shortcut key.
• The “Say Current Marker” function is now assigned to control+shift+f3 shortcut key.
• When F4 key is pressed, JSonar will announce whether “large transport” toolbar is on or off.
• Improved announcement of toolbar buttons that do not have any text labels associated with them.
• When choosing “record mode” with alt+semicolon, JSonar will announce “Record Mode”.
• JSonar will now differentiate between buses and tracks when speaking messages such as “no soloed strips” or “muted tracks are …”; previously, JSonar would simply announce “no soloed strips” or “muted strips are …”. Now the announcements are more user-friendly.
• Improved “runtime setup wizard”; it will now:
  1. install JSonar control surface.
  2. import available HSC sets.
  3. refresh HSC keymap to make sure that all HSC keystrokes are working properly.
• Added all the up-to-date message files for German, French, Dutch, Swedish, Russian and Spanish languages.
