-====== Product Announcements ​ - February 2, 2010 ====== 
  
-We're constantly working to improve our products and roll in various requests from our users. ​ This page will contain some updates on what we're spending our time on. 
- 
- 
- 
-===== Release date ===== 
-I know the first question coming is "​when"​. ​ As soon as we know, we'll post it.  I promise. ​ I'd rather wait until we are sure about a release date than to keep posting made-up dates and missing them.  The very minute we feel comfortable enough with a release candidate to schedule a date, we'll post it up.

-===== V3Lite ===== 
-As promised, we are working on V3Lite for the 1G/2G DSMs now following the release of this product for the early EVO platform. ​ The EVO guys have been using this product for several months now, so we're pretty confident it's got all the features you're going to need. 
- 
-Both versions (1G and 2G) are actually done now and working in various beta cars.  Just give us a couple weeks and we'll be ready to make a more formal announcement. 
- 
-But we're still not stopping. ​ We've got a lot of new ideas we want to implement! 
- 
- 
- 
- 
- 
- 
- 
-===== Quick-connect ===== 
- 
-One of the next items on our to-do list is a quick-connect feature to provide for near instant connect speeds with the ECU by caching configuration data on the laptop. ​ The application will always know whether its cache of data matches the ECUs by a complex checksum algorithm. ​ But details aside, the idea is to reduce that lengthy configuration read step to near zero. 
- 
- 
- 
-===== Live edit ===== 
- 
-You can already do live changes (while the engine'​s running) to most configuration settings in V3.  Everything in the ECU Config tab can be changed at any time.  That includes the RPM-based fuel and timing adjustments,​ airflow compensation,​ speed density VE table, etc., etc. 
- 
-You can even have the application auto-save the changes as you're making them!  It's like having a dial control for any configuration value in the ECU Config tab.  Check the "​auto-save"​ box, select a cell or range of cells and then use the Ctrl+up/​down arrow keys to changes values in the ECU instantly. ​ 
- 
-Direct Access changes require the engine be stopped, however, because the ECU has to go into a reflash mode to save those changes to code space. ​ This isn't a major problem because most changes to direct access tables require time to review and tweak anyway. ​ The things that respond well to instant edits can already be edited at any time on the ECU Config tab. 
- 
-But we're always looking to improve things, so we're going to try out a system to allow for instant edits of direct access tables as well.  We'll keep this page posted with results and progress.
