I don't think it was mentioned on the forum, but FYI, Jari Williamson has released some updates : JW Change 1.05 (32 & 64 bit), JW Staff Polyphony 1.13 (64 bit), JW Lua Beta 0.47 (64 bit), JW Yada Yada Tremolo 2.01 (64 bit).
Thanks, Jari.

One of the new features/fixes for JW Change is:
* "Dashed Curve" is renamed to "Dashed Slur"
.. which seems to be the wrong thing. Changing a slur to a dashed slur actually produces a dashed curve. And there are only two options for Slur Type. I think he's got muddled that Dashed Slurs are a new shape, not a refinement for the old shape.
What I (and I presume others) really need is to change Dashed Curves in old documents into Dashed Slurs. But that doesn't seem possible yet.
I've mentioned this to Jari, and he's looking at it.

JW Plug-in Tool Manager doesn't seem to know about the new JW Change. I guess we can't rely on that anymore.

Version 1.03 of this plug-in consists of 203 tasks in 17 different containers:
So does 1.05 add anything new or fix bugs, or was it simply made to work in 64 bit?

JW Tool Manager only works on older 32-bit plug-ins.
The new version is a bug fix to the 64-bit plug-in, which already was released previously.

Jari has released a new version, 1.06, which addresses the issue.

Awesome. I wish MakeMusic was that quick with fixes.

Remember when everyone was freaking out: "Where's Jari?"....?
... and the revision to 24.4 was pretty fast, I'd say.

You've got me there. MakeMusic has been more responsive lately.

I've got a 32-bit system. Someone said there was a new 32-bit version of JW Change, but Tool Manager doesn't recognize that.

Which issue?

I see version 1.06 for Finale 25, but only 1.05 for 2014. The fix in 1.06 for version 25 is that it now has the new Dashed Slur as an option. So there are 3 choices: Slur, Dashed Slur, and Dashed Curve.

I see-thanks. Are there release notes that show what's new in 1.05?
