Lightroom 4.1 SDK: What's new...

The download link is presently broken but it looks like SDK will be out with Lr4.1:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/photoshoplightroom.html
The pdf guide is there (link not broken).
Once officially released (and/or download link fixed), I will try to do a thorough comparison of what's been added or changed and post here.
For now, just from briefly skimming the pdf guide & api doc, I gleaned:
1. Pretty lean release - keep expectations low...
That said, here are some enhancements I noticed:
* Plugin startup / shutdown.
* Video
* Scrolled View - this is probably the most exciting enhancement, to me.
* Simple LIst - supporting multiple selection, my #2 choice, excitement-wise, so far.
* Also note the timeout params on with-do methods of catalog.
* Plus there are the other things mentioned in another thread: e.g. catalog_photo component is official now.
My #1 feature request was denied: numeric and date types for plugin metadata.
Do standby...

Lightroom 5 - Smart Previews | What's New in Lightroom 5 | Adobe TV

Learn how to create lightweight, efficient Smart Previews to work with offline images in Lightroom.
http://adobe.ly/11rZI6q

Hello Julieanne,
I'm using Lightroom 5 and I'm interested in the smart preview feature; one question: is it possible a workflow like this one: work with a desktop with all the photos in one hard disk and no smart preview; then export one catalog with smart preview and open it in my laptop so that I can work with the files and modify. Then export it back to the desktop version once I'm back home.
Thanks and regards,
Marco

What's new in AIR 2.7.1 SDK? (August 8th build)

I've noticed that AIR 2.7.1 SDK has just been released, updated the 8th of August:
http://www.adobe.com/products/air/sdk/
Being a version called 2.7.1, I suppose it's just a bugfix release.
Could someone post what's fixed in this release?
Fortunately, this time, they changed the version number, unlike last release (June 28th build), which was called AIR 2.7, just the same as the previous build (June 9th), which was called AIR 2.7 as well (it was pretty confusing).
A "what's new" file inside the SDK package would help, in future versions.
Thanks for the frequent releases!

So it's mostly a security fix release, according to this:
http://www.adobe.com/support/security/bulletins/apsb11-21.html
Ok, so that clears it up. Thank you!

What's new in AIR SDK 3.1.4880?

I just noticed that you silently updated the AIR SDK 3.1 to 3.1.4880.
Comparing the files you can see 23 files were updated in January 9th, 2012.
The original 3.1 SDK was from November 7th, 2011.
Why don't you include a "what's new" file inside the ZIP?
I suppose this new build is just a bugfix release, but you could still tell what's been fixed.
So, what's the difference between this newer 3.1 SDK (build 4880) and the older 3.1?
Regards,
OMA

Hello Chris.
Thanks for your reply. As far as I know, AIR 3.1 SDK was first released in November 2011, wasn't it?
You can even see that all files inside the original 3.1 ZIP have a 7th of November date.
I already have the original 3.1 SDK for Windows, because I already downloaded it when it was released,
but BDindeblender is asking for the original 3.1 SDK for Mac, which unfortunately I don't have,
because I usually work in a Windows environment (except when I have to upload to Apple's App Store).
The version currently available at Adobe's SDK page is 3.1.0.4880 which was released in January, 2012
(until it gets replaced with the 3.2 SDK when the Release Candidate becomes Final)
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/air-sdk-download.html
The problem with this updated "4880" build is it has a bug that the original 3.1 didn't have, described here:
https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3121219
I hope this bug isn't carried over to the new 3.2 SDK. I still haven't tried it, so I can't comment on that yet.
Regards.

My Lightroom 5 says I have a new update, but the download looks like it is trying to switch me over to creative cloud. What will happen if I install this download?

My lightroom 5 says I have a new update, but the download looks like it will switch me over to creative cloud. What will happen if I install this download?

What about the notification looks like it will switch over to the creative cloud? I'd avoid it until you get a good answer to your question.

Lightroom 3 beta SDK? If not yet, when?

Is a Lightroom 3 beta SDK available somewhere? If not yet, are there plans to make it available soon?
-Don

I sure that I am speaking of all the plugin writers when I say, give us some information.
Yes it may change, but it would be better than seeing missing functions that we might need or bugs in the sdk that would not have been seen until after a shipping version.
It took a while for developers to get the hang of plugins for Lightroom 2, wouldn't it be better to have some availble to the public the day it ships?
Personly I would love to see just a list of new functions availble and let us take it from there.
PS: Please let us write our plugin metadata to xmp files this time.

Adb block command strange error on What's New

I have the latest android sdk and adb is running fine.
Ran pm block com.sonymobile.advancedwidget.entrance
reboot
Etc etc. But after reboot the **bleep** thing was still inside the app drawer. So I checked again. It seems adb is not recognising 'block' command. It knows 'hide' but that's also not working.
The entire world has removed What's New using adb. Please help why this block command is not working.

Usually for developing stuff you can either go to XDA or to our developer world:

Firefox 5 was released. But i dont know that what is new in this compared to firefox 4.0.

I didn't see anything new.

Think of Firefox 5.0 as both a security update in place of 4.0.2 and having had some work done also, something that minor releases generally do not get.

See the "What's New in Firefox" section.

Anyone know what is new in iTunes 6.0.3.5?

iTunes 6.0.3.5 came out today (with no relesae notes).
Anyone here know what's new in it?
Fujitsu Lifebook P-2120 Windows XP

Just installed and had a quick look, nothing obviously different. However it seemd that updating iPod was faster (with 6.0.2 it seemed to pause while copying songs and take longer), also my 5G 30GB iPod moved past "do not disconnect" considerably faster after clicking Eject iPod.
Using version 1.1 of the iPod software and have been since it was released so the improvement seems to be brought about by 6.0.3.5

What is new in Enhancement Package 2 and 3

Hi all,
The [ERP Solution Browser|http://solutionbrowser.erp.sap.fmpmedia.com/] is an excellent tool to find out, what's new. However I did not find any means to get a list of new features in ERP 6.0 enhancement packages 2 and 3. Any hint (especially what's new in HCM) is welcome!
Regards
Matthias

Hello Matthias,
check out Service Marketplace, alias ERP-EhP to find out what's being delivered as part of an Enhancement Package:
http://service.sap.com/erp-ehp (logon required).
Basically, it provides the following:
link to SAP Enhancement Package Infocenter to understand the content based on functional domain, e.g. HCM.
documentation on
- EhP concept and strategy
- overview presentation SAP ERP EhP 2 and 3
- detailed presentation SAP ERP EhP 2 and 3
- preview SAP ERP EhP4
- how to implement EhP ("Must know guide for IT professionals")
- test case templates
- links to other useful resources (e.g. ERP solution map, media library, functional areas)
Hope this helps!

What is new in BI 7.0

I would appreciate if any of you could provide me with links to relevant documents or information on what is new for BI 7.0..
One of my main intentions is finding out information on the changes in Process Change Monitoring. As you all know the issue with the current tools in BW(3.5) is that the if the chain doesn't start. Well is hard to find out promptly, and similar situation when activations hang ..... I was thinking in creating a custom tool, but I was told that BW 7.0 do provide tools to better monitor chains. Well if anyone has information on this I would appreciate .
Thank you
Alfonso.
