.9.35   Changed: The AutoRamp Wizard now has options for Bulb Only, Manual Only and Manual/Auto Switch and presents choices that are possible for group 3 cameras which can’t switch AEMode remotely. Added: An AutoRamp option to change the Av setting in 1/3 stop steps 3.9.34  Fixed: In non-English localizations, the AutoRamp TvRange values were being saved as a number in the local style, but read back as a number in English style. This caused values with a comma to be misinterpreted. 3.9.
PAGE 4
 Fixed: If using multiple ND filters of different values, AutoRamp would sometimes recommend removing them in an incorrect order. 3.9.20     Changed: Allow the AutoRamp “switch to bulb” time to be set to a long value (> 32 seconds) to extend the range of possible Tv value available when AEMode is Manual. Changed: Allow the AutoRamp maximum change in stops to be up to 9 stops. Fixed: The AutoRamp plan was shown incorrectly when the maximum change in stops was greater than 1.
PAGE 5
    Changed: New version of GBUploadFirmware Changed: GBT now checks the MX2 firmware version and shows necessary alerts Fixed: The MX2 firmware could not control bulb times greater than 65.535 seconds Fixed: If using Dolly control and not using EXT bulb control, GBT would capture an extra image each step. 3.9.8          Changed: The SaveTo property is not saved in the camera settings. This avoids a camera problem when initializing with SaveTo = camera.

3.4.6  Changed: Patent pending 3.4.5  Fixed: The free trial version always watermarks the output images and RAW images are not saved to disk. 3.4.3    Fixed: Kiss X5 was being incorrectly identified as Kiss X Fixed: On rare occasions an image might be captured, but not loaded into memory. AutoRamp now handles this event without an abrupt change in settings. Change: Set the default AutoRamp sensitivity to 0.1 so it is less sensitive to small variations in image luminance. 3.4.
PAGE 8
   Change: Added an option to automatically save a copy of the project in the session folder when a new session begins. Fixed: Correct the display of the TEV value in some situations Fixed: GBT could fail with the message “GBTimelapseEOS has stopped working” on startup. This happened if it was set to “Load the most recent project” and the project could not be found. 3.3.24   Fixed: Added the ability to recover from a 5DMk II camera bug that could cause a time-lapse session to hang.
PAGE 9
  Fixed: Sometimes lens calibration would fail with a message saying it needed at least 16 values at f/16.
