DSP Robotics Support

In this release we have new components for array handling and a new If Then Else component. The Save Wave component comes out of R&D and we have enhanced the underlying trigger system in order to stop some of the strange results that can occur from time to time.

The Networking components are now available to all users (previously only available in the Professional Edition). Also the FREE edition now has ASIO but is limited to a single channel I/O.

As well as this we have many other fixes and enhancements.

FlowBoard users should download and install the latest firmware update (1.0.2) which is available here:
