Test version 4.17.5 of JMRI/DecoderPro is available for download.

This is the next in a series of test releases that will culminate in a production release, hopefully in early December 2019.

If you are currently using JMRI 4.9.6 or earlier, we strongly recommend that you first update to JMRI 4.12 and make sure that's running OK before updating to this test release. There have been a number of changes in serial port support, panel file format and configuration options since those earlier releases, and moving to the stable JMRI 4.12 release is a good way to work through any possible problems.

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) Please see the JMRI 4.12 release note for details: <>

For more information on the issues, new features and bug fixes in 4.17.5 please see the release note:

Thanks Bob
Is 4.17.5 compatible with Mac OS Catalina
Thanks?
John

We hope 4.17.5 is compatible with Catalina. There’s been a bunch of testing.

But there are limitations, particularly on how to install Java:

Thanks for all the work Bob.
I'll install Catalina over night and see how JMRI goes in the morning.
It's not the end of the world if it trips upon because I can run the railways either with Mac or with machines that are Linux based.
Best wishes
John

Bob:

Not in depth but a quick install has PanelPro happy now... Java did an update to _231 after Catalina so if already on the target machine that looks okay... Catalina at 10.15.1 (update).

Jim Albanowski

Installs ok on? Windows XP SP3 with Java 1.8.0_152. Quick ck of Operations and VSD apparently ok.

Rt.

Was running DecoderPro V4.16 on a MacBook Pro (mid 2016 model) using Catalina 10.15.1 and Java 8 Update 231 and I just installed the latest test version 4.17.5.?
Same problems as described in my post #165018. Plus any of the options (Preferences, About, etc.) in the drop down under DecoderPro?in the toolbar cause the error message (see my post #165019) to appear. I have to use Force Quit to get out of DecoderPro.

Dave,
Here you go:

Could you try something for me?

1) Drag the JMRI folder out of Applications to the trash
2) Reboot the Mac
3) Drag the new JMRI folder from the 4.17.5 installation virtual disk to the Applications folder

Then try DecoderPro again.

Thanks, and sorry for the trouble.

Bob

No trouble at all, Bob; I truly appreciate what you and the JMRI team do to make this hobby more enjoyable.

I did what you asked, but had the same problem as described above except the "About" section worked; Preferences caused it to bomb. I posted a new screen shot of the problem log in the Fran Giacoma album in the Photos. Also, here is a copy of the system console:


Fran

Thank you! That screen shot was very helpful. Working on it…

Ken Cameron hit a similar error a long time ago:

It was thought to be fixed, but perhaps it’s recurred. It’s associated with extra files in your preferences directory. The minimal content for that is:

DecoderProConfig3.properties
log
preferences
My_JMRI_Railroad.jmri
nodeIdentity.xml
profiles.xml

You can find that by opening the Terminal application (from Applications -> Utilities), or if DecoderPro will cooperate for long enough:

Help meny -> select Locations... and then click the “Open Settings Location” button.

I’d be curious what else you have in that directory. Thanks

Bob

Bob,
Went to DecoderPro - Locations and copied files in "Open Settings Location" and "Open Profile Location" (I added bold header for each):

Frans-MacBook-Pro:~ frangiacoma$?

Closing the loop on my problem. After looking over the latest thread from Bob J. ?and my "Fatal Error" message, it seemed the trouble was with the WiThrottle Preferences. So I deleted these files:

WiThrottlePreferences.xml

WiThrottlePreferences.xml.bak
Started up DecodrePro and everything worked just like it did before I upgraded to Catalina. Started the WiThrottle Server and got out the iPhone and started up WiThrottle - ran perfectly.

All good!

Thanks for all the help.

Hi Bob:? Thanks for publishing.?

I can confirm a FIX in JMRI 4.17.5 for problem encountered in JMRI 4.16.

With JMRI 4.16 Panel Pro, clicking "Tools > Tables > Turnouts" would return the error "'libgluegen-rt.jnilib' cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified."? I assume this is a driver signing issue.?? With JMRI 4.17.5, this problem does not appear.

Looking forward to the next official release.? Hopefully this is still on schedule for December 2019.

--John
=======================

Background on my environment:
Macbook Pro 15" 2019 version
Mac OS X Catalina 10.15.1
No separate Java installed; Panel Pro reports Java 1.8.0_181(en_US)
NO hardware installed, using simulator for C/MRI and ocoBufferUSB (with no config files nor scripts, just enabled in preferences)

Correction.? My testing was done with JMRI 4.17.6, not 4.17.5.

DecoderPro

I have been unsuccessful in upgrading to this version from JMRI 4.16+R6f9aced on a Mac. The problem appears to be in the "update decoder index [initialize decoder index]" process that starts up after all the windows are open. This process appears to be in an infinite loop trying to initialize the decoder index. It's sopping up cycles like crazy (700% cpu), making the app useless to get anything done. An excerpt of the message log is included below. In 4.16 I tried rebuilding the roster and the decoder index , but the results are the same in 4.17.6.

I'm using the roster in PanelPro, but not using DecoderPro to make decoder changes. Is there some obvious workaround that might get me past this issue??

BTW: I see the same problem on MacOS Catalina and Mojave. I am happy with 4.16, but need 4.17 because of the malware warnings I get in Catalina trying to look a tables in PanelPro.

Thanks.
