NetLinx Studio 2.8.0.285

I've played with it for about 5 minutes and am finding some issues as before. A certain find problem still exists. This one is very annoying.

I'm not gonna rant or give praise just yet, but just creating a thread for us to do that.

Netlinx Studio 2.8 Buglist

I'll start enumerating...

1 module library I had added previously in Preferences/Netlinx Compiler was lost (library folder still there)
2 I seem unable to modify a variable value in debugger: "The variable you have modified is too large to send back to the master. Existing NetLinx firmware does not support multiple packets."

I'll add more as they come up...
[EDIT]
3 When coming back to Diagnostics/Control A Device: it remembers the master system number, not the last system number used (under Device To Control)
[EDIT]
4 When turning on Notifications, and I have only strings from 5001:2:13 enabled, I got a single notification from 5001:1:11 for some reason, and that is not even on my list of devices on the Notification Options page...

This has always been the case with large arrays. I don't know what the limit is but it seems to be anything around 300? bytes or anything with more than two dimensions.

My findings too, but at least most of the other annoying find stuff has been fixed.

I'm still on the beta version. It has been pretty stable for me. I'll probably wait a build to put on the real version.

So what is verdict on this release? Is it stable yet and worth upgrading to?
