April 23, 2015 - CQC Version 4.7 Released
Charmed Quark Systems, Ltd. is proud to announce the release of version 4.7 of their CQC automation platform. Version 4.7 is a medium sized release, which we wanted to get out before embarking on some considerably more ambitious changes. The already completed improvements were significant and stable, so it made sense to get them out to customers now instead of waiting.
4.7 Upgrade Guide
Bear in mind that as of 4.7 we no longer support XP and Vista versions of Windows. Windows 7/Server 2008R2 are the new minimal supported versions. This is per our announcement well over a year ago.
Some of more notable changes in this version are:
New Installer. Our old, zip file based, installer was not much loved. So we have replaced it with a new, self-extracting installer, which is much simpler and more convenient to use.
More V2 Drivers. More V2 drivers have been implemented, for the Insteon ISY controller, Nuvo Concerto/Grand Concerto, and Yamaha A/V receivers that support the YNC protocol. The V2 Z-Wave driver has been substantially upgraded and supports more module types.
Event Monitors. We now have a new customization option that is partway between a driver and a triggered event. They run continuously like a
driver, so they can maintain context over time, and they can efficiently monitor an arbitrary list of fields and react to changes. A first working iplementation is available which provides logging of data to the online Thingspeak service.
Persistent/Encrypted Connections. Our web server now
accepts encrypted connections (HTTP and Websockets.) Our web client now supports encrypted and persistent connections to servers, and chunked transfer modes. The Websockets support has also been refined since the original incarnation in 4.6. We can also directly support encrypted e-mail servers as well.
Try It
You can download the new version via the Try/Buy menu item on the web site, and try it out for 40 days. So you can know for sure whether it meets your needs before you commit.
Existing customers covered under the maintenance system can upgrade at their convenience.
Use the web site's Learn menu to learn more about the product. Extensive video and text information is available to help you learn how CQC works and how to get the most out of it.
