- | * **License and Registration System**: The largest and most impactful change to the average user in 5.0 is the new licensing and registration system. This is a two-part system which departs us from the old school hardware to license file system we have used since beyond was introduced. | ||
- | * **New License Options**: Licenses now will be automatically served by our servers when you purchase BEYOND in any way, when you purchase you will get an email with a code to use in BEYOND and you can get up and running immediately and you won’t necessarily have to wait for your hardware to come in! \\ **New Options include**: | ||
- | * Hardware Licenses | ||
- | * Internet Licenses | ||
- | * PCID Licenses | ||
- | * Lifetime versions | ||
- | * Rental versions | ||
- | * **Beam Brush Support and Tools**: It’s been a pipe dream of laser show professionals around the world since the 90s to have software control of the divergence of the laser in real time. Many attempts have been made, countless hours and late nights spent testing and theorizing about how to do it, not just from pangolin but from laserists all over the world. Each time wishing for “just a better mirror” or “if only this scanner was stronger” or “if only it could be smaller”. Well, the time has come, a small, fast, and reasonably priced solution is here, and it’s called BeamBrush. All the tools you need to control and create with this new BeamBrush technology has been added for version 5.0 of BEYOND. | ||
- | * Updated Content Workspace: long! BEYOND 5.0 comes with an expanded default workspace! This now includes more graphic content, abstracts, beams as well as a bunch of new content designed for Beam Brush, all with graphics, abstracts, and beams as well! All and all its more than 1000 new cues for your lasers to chew on! | ||

- | * Groups, a new mode for Live performance inside the Grid: Cues of the workspace can be organized into groups, which define the cue's life cycle and laser output. Groups provides a new way to organize your workspace. | + | |
- | * FB4 Export: Redesigned the user interface and also added new features -- representing a whole new path for the preparation of FB4 content. Dedicated user interface design for all modes including Autoplay/ | + | |
- | * FB4 Settings: Remote interface for changing the settings of FB4 hardware while inside QuickShow -- A new specialized window for setting the IP address, Master settings, FB4 mode (Streaming, DMX, ArtNet, etc.). This new user interface operates with every FB4 detected in network, regardless of the mode that the FB4 happens to be in. | + | |
- | * FB4 Browser: Browsing the FB4 SD card contents is now easier. There is a dedicated window for file download and upload, as part of FB4 oriented tools. | + | |
- | * Parametric image: We have added a new member of the Image family! Parametric image currently offers more than 20 simple forms that can be used in the same way as other Shapes | + | |
- | * 64 bit versions: By using the latest software development tools, it has opened the door to new technical features, including 64-bit versions of both BEYOND and QuickShow. Since each of these programs now have well over 1 million lines of code, it has taken Pangolin quite a while to migrate and test the new versions. But the result was worth the effort. The new multi-threading construction will keep all CPU cores busy, and the new 64-bit architecture allows the program to use all available memory. | + | |
- | * Optimized FB3 firmware and communications to support faster scanning speeds as well as better support for USB 3.0. | + | |
There have been many other refinements to the program as well, including updating most program icons, and adding many new Effects. | There have been many other refinements to the program as well, including updating most program icons, and adding many new Effects. |
