First of all I want to say I really like the improvements in .100. Things work fine
on my PC client, so I went back to working with my PPC (axim x51v).

The first thing I noticed was that NR started crashing on the PPC. Sometimes on load, sometimes
after a couple of minutes. I had had this problem with my PC client with .99, but now the
client is really stable. With .99 my NR on the PCC was the stable one.

Also the images I updated with the new NRD are corrupted on the PPC. They are fine on the PC client
and on NRD. The corruption looks like what I was seeing on my client NR using 0.99 with images
updated with the new NRD.

NR on the PPC is extremely sluggish in responding to page changes, button pushes, etc. This was not the case with .99.

My biggest problem is that communication between my PPC NR and G5 is driving my Insteon lighting unstable.

If I change a light level with a slider on the PPC, then G5 and NR get out of sync. The light will dim, then brighten, then dim,
and so on in a loop until I kill either NR or G5. My wife was not amused when the lights started to go into loops. Fortunately
this happened in the afternoon and not in the evening.

If there is anything you want me to try out please let me know. Everything is fine and stable with NR client.

Re: Crashes on PPC - I've noticed more crashes on PPC with 100 as well; I'll be looking into this, and hopefully determining the cause.

Re: Image Corruption on PPC - This will be fixed in the next release.

Re: Sluggishness - Performance shouldn't have changed, unless it's the elimination of pre-computed alpha. If your pages are using alpha images, there may be a performance decrease. The up-side is, you won't get progressive image degradation as you edit with Designer :). There is an optimization pass coming, so performance should go back up again.

Re: G5 issues - This may have been related to a bug with mapped namespaces in version 100. This has been fixed for the next release, so let me know if you still encounter the issue.

Best,
Tim

Try removing the webbrowser plugin in the plugins directory.

.100 has been totally stable on my x51v with this removed.

I started a thread on this issue quite some time ago.
