This upcoming version will introduce a dynamic scrolling main menu and double click menu functions, both these items are in response to feedback we have received from our valued customers.

Important Updates
In case you have missed our module email updates here are some important notes regarding changes to specific modules
ChangeIP – Version 4 This version addresses an issue where the host name IP address may not update correctly depending on what ChangeIP server the module contacts. This was due to a code update on ChangeIP’s part. If you are running v3 or below please upgrade to ensure the DNS resolution works properly for you.
Pentair iLink – Version 5 provides added support for Intellibrite and MagicStream color modes.
Twitter - Version 2 adds the ability to browse to a link posted in a tweet, and go to a users timeline by clicking on the persons avatar.
