This marks the version 1.0 release that we have all been waiting for.

I wanted to take a moment to thank all the generous users for participating in the beta program and providing excellent feedback. Thank you very much, you have helped improve the quality of Elve for all of us.

We look forward continuing work on Elve and have a long list of post-1.0 enhancements on our to do list. Some of these enhancements will come in the form of minor updates to version 1.0 while others will be released with the next major release down the road.

Here are the changes from the prior release candidate which are included in v1.0.

Device Driver Changes
Fixed: If the ACT TI103 driver's Device List setting was not set errors would occur whenever device data was received.
The UPB, Insteon, and ACT TI103 drivers now uses the new ScriptArray callbacks for writable arrays.
The Global Variables driver now uses the new ScriptObject CloneLocally method instead of calling Serialize/Deserialize.
Fixed: The Insteon LightNames property was not returning names for unset devices.
Fixed: The Popcorn Hour Driver's internal unique identifier was incorrect. Users of this driver should delete the old driver and re-add it.
Fixed: When editing a script in TS Builder Action list, selecting 'TouchScreen' or 'TopTouchScreen' from the datatype autocomplete popup would cause an error.
Fixed: The Date & Time driver now stores the TimeZone using the ID and not the display name.
The Touch Screen Loader Button control can now load a touch screen into any inner touch screen in the entire loaded touch screen hierarchy.
Fixed: The UPB driver could fail to read the UPStartExport.upe if the network password was too large.
Fixed: The UPB LightNames array started at 0 instead of 1.
Fixed: UPB commands could be ignored when sending them back to back.
Fixed: The Squeezebox driver was sending out a number instead of boolean for ZoneShuffleStates notifications and was not sending out ZoneShuffleModes at all.

New Drivers
Added Octava Matrix Switch driver.

Driver SDK
The Driver InvokeMethodAfterDelayAsync and SetPropertyAfterDelayAsync methods now make local clones the parameter values.
Added ScriptObjectExample attribute to API for adding example scripts to script object classes and members (including drivers).
The ScriptObject class now implements ICloneable.
The ScriptObject class now has a CloneLocally() method.

Thanks again.
