Thanks for catching that. Now fixed.

The backstory: The proper semantic-versioning form of the file name () uses a “+” to separate the main version name from “build meta-data” like the git hash for the build. JMRI doesn’t entirely use semantic versioning (we use a somewhat different criteria for when to update each digit), but it makes sense to use as much of the standard as we can. So we’ve used “+” in our version numbers for a long time.

It also makes sense to have the filenames match the version numbers, but “+” characters in filenames were problematic in some cases. In particular, the GitHub release system (i.e. ) wasn’t able to handle them, instead automatically replacing them with “.” on upload. So the files we made on Jenkins for e.g. development builds () and even the as-built releases () had “+”, but GitHub made them “.” (i.e. ) The automation that creates the text for the download page, release note and release list handled that by changing the filenames ().

But sometime in the last five days (since 4.11.9 came out), GitHub fixed that! So now we can actually have “+” signs in names (good news), but the pre-created links didn’t work (bad news). Just another day in the life of JMRI release management…..

Anyway, to make a long story short, it’s fixed now.

Thanks Bob,

great work! I hope I hear some cold beverage popping open in the
background noise of your message ;)

I just updated my SlackBuild of JMRI which will (hopefully) be
publically available from next week's SBo public update here:


In the process, I noticed broken links on the releasenotes-page due to a
different file naming scheme: The 4.10 release files (and before) were
called JMRI.4.10.R419243e.tgz, the 4.12 release files are called
JMRI.4.12+Rb6a9bb1.tgz with a + (plus sign) in front of the Rxxxxxxx
instead of a . (dot).

This is true for all three MacOS, Windows and Linux.

Heiko

We are very pleased to announce that the 4.11 series of JMRI test
releases has resulted in a version that's good enough to be recommended
for general use, including by new users. We're therefore making that
version, "Production release 4.12", available for download today.

Note: this version of JMRI, along with future ones, will require that
you have Java 1.8 or later.

There have been hundreds of updates, new features and bug fixes since
version 4.10 came out six months ago. For more information, please see
the release note:

<>

The release note also contains the download links for Mac OS X, Linux
and Windows. (That's our subtle way of trying to get you to read the note).

Note that JMRI is made available under the GNU General Public License.
For more information, please see our copyright and licensing page.

If you use JMRI on Linux or Mac and are updating from JMRI 4.7.3 or
earlier, there’s a necessary migration step. (Not needed on Windows or
if updating from something more recent) Please see the release note for
details: <>

??? Mine also will not download.? I get the release notes but clicking on the Windows version it says;? 404 this is not the web page you are looking for!

Looks like the file name is wrong JMRI.4.12.Rb6a9bb1. should be JMRI.4.12+Rb6a9bb1 ( + and not . ).
Hopefully Bob or another developer can change this soon.

Nope, still broken.

To be more precise: The links on the announcement page work:
- they point to


and


The links in the release notes don't work:
- they point to


and


Not only did I try clearing the browser caches, I also tried different
browsers with consistent results.

Is it possible to merge an Exsel spreadsheet of equipment into the JMRI roster? That could prevent a lot of redundant effort getting JMRI up and running.
If it can be done, would someone be kind enough to post some directions. Haven't been able to figure this one out by myself.
Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions.

Lansdale, PA?

I am a new user to DCC as of last year and new to the users group. I have the NCE PowerCab and the NCE USB interface. In September 2017 I downloaded JMRI onto my wife's Mac, OSX 10.11.6 and DecoderPro worked fine. About three months ago it stopped working. I re-installed the latest drivers from SiLabs and JMRI 4.11.6 and it still did not work. More technical and experienced people, including Ed at NCE, walked me through my settings and found nothing wrong. Ed suspects that the Mac has explicit security permissions for the USB port and that the OS is blocking the hardware and driver.?

Here' s more detail. With DecoderPro running, the message on the lower bar says NCE is online. When I ask it to identify a decoder, the message bars says it is reading CV29, but nothing happens. If I click it again, the message bar says the programmer is in use.?

The LEDs on both the USB and the layout sides of the interface flash occasionally. The cables check out okay.

I found an email from Dave of Australia about opening the System Profiler on the Mac to check if it is seeing the USB interface. My 21 year-old daughter did so and found it on the System Profiler. (Though it does not show up in the Finder.)
Dave's email gave instruction to open a Terminal Window and paste in a command "while : ;do clear;ls -lt /devlhead;i=$((i+1));echo $i;sleep 1;done" My daughter did so and reported that it could not find /devlhead; the command generated no lines of output though it counted.?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

I too had problems. I find that the link at gives a page with the individual files, and the Windows file (.exe) download worked for me.

Brian,

Typical method is to create an Internal Sensor. You add that to the panel
file with your choice of button icon. Right click on it and select
'momentary'. Now you create a Logix to handle what it does. The Logix uses
that sensor as the conditional, on sensor active. The action part is to
invoke the script, that's one of the actions at the bottom of the list. Here
it is the 'on true' action to execute the script file.

I used to be able to Print Roster, Selected Entry and Select all I got a 11 page report. Now I am only getting a page and a quarter. If I select basic I get a single page. I am using 4.10

Can someone help me?

I've tried searching topics and can't find a thread on this. Can you address/send commands to an accessory decoder with Engine Driver? If so, how?

Mark Granville

Hello Brian
If you create a sensor and then assign a logix to the sensor.The logix conditional should be when sensor goes active carry out the defined action. There is an option to run a script when the conditional is true. You can then put the sensor on your layout panel. It is probably best to also add an action to set the sensor inactive after a few seconds so it is ready for another run

That is where I started; couldn't figure out how to create a route, which is why I went to the other menu.
Didn't notice the Add button at the bottom - perhaps it was off-screen. I think I'm OK now, but that button should be moved!
