ASIAIR v2.4 has been released!

PMTeam@ZWO

retman Thank you for your suggestion. We will consider listing more BUG fix details when we release new versions later.

PMTeam@ZWO

snwfrd38 Hello. Could you please give us more details of the problem through video recording? Thank you. The video can be sent to the email: luffy.liu@zwoptical.com

ZWO, why won't your acknowledge the train wreck you created (on a weekend no less) and provide us the 2.3.3 downloads rather than us having to get old versions from unofficial sources? The rollback instructions have been provided by a customer already, so you can reference those and save yourself time.

PMTeam@ZWO

R0k9pZfT Hello. We will provide the download link of 2.3.3 as soon as possible. We will also fix the problems of version 2.4 as soon as possible.

PMTeam@ZWO I must have a link to download last stable version asap. I am driving across the country to a bortle 1 star party in Colorado. I will arrive there on Wednesday.
I wasn’t expecting my iPad to do a forced upgrade to an unusable version without me knowing it.
This is my best chance at imaging all year and I have spent a lot of money driving across the country.

Please get me a way to revert to the last stable version!

I am imaging right now so am unsure if I will see issues like you all. However, I could not get my system to polar align. Then I noticed the image time was set to 1 sec. by default. I changed it to 5 sec. and it solved right away (taking 3.6 seconds). I was getting pretty frustrated because the PA fail 6x until I noticed 1 sec default.

zephirus I also had issues with my EAF - again reset to refocus on temp only rather than time and temp. I am not sure focus is working at all. Overall Pinwheel galaxy (easy target) came out mediocre.

New version has been buggy for me.
The bright white screen on entering is unpleasant in a dark environment.
Plate solving no longer works unless I shoot with a small guidescope instead of the main camera.
New "Tonight's best" atlas is odd and harder to use.
For me this latest version is unusable on my android tablet.
I need to go back to the previous firmware.

You are NOT forced to update. App updates are controlled by your device. The ability to downgrade/rollback an app lies squarely with Apple/Android.

You can turn off auto update for the ASIAIR App via the Play Store App on your phone for Android.

On Apple - you have to turn off auto update for all apps via the App Store.

If you're on an Android device and want to downgrade/rollback then read this:
https://bbs.zwoastro.com/d/18885-how-to-downgraderollback-asiair-app-firmware-with-android

Unfortunately, not so simple for Apple. You have to read this BEFORE you update:
https://bbs.zwoastro.com/d/19176-reverting-to-older-versions-of-asiair-app-and-firmware-for-macos-ios-and-ipados

There's also a way to rollback for Apple if you're on TestFlight:
https://bbs.zwoastro.com/d/23530-asiair-v24-has-been-released/48

Remember: The ASIAIR App on your device and the firmware on the ASIAIR itself are a matched set.

R0k9pZfT Thanks but that indeed doesn't work for the RedCat 51.

My setup (which was running fine on previous 2.3.x versions) including CAA was working fine on 2.3.3 with 180° fix
I got now so many problems with 2.4 that I'm even not able to list/analyze them (most annoying is meridian flip issues)

Waiting for ZWO to provide the download link to 2.3.3
Will ensure that auto-update will be disable (unfortunately I change my mobile 2 weeks ago and forgot to set it up properly....)

Corsair Thanks 👍

PMTeam@ZWO

jsmithsd Hello. Could you provide a screenshot of the 220mini guiding screen so that we can better understand the problem? In addition, regarding the CAA issue, could you upload a log to us after the problem occurs? We will analyze the cause of the problem through the log. Thank you!

PMTeam@ZWO

Dear astronomy enthusiasts. Sorry for the inconvenience. A download link for 2.3.3 will be provided soon so that users who encounter problems can roll back. Currently, the link is under review and is expected to be released within 12 hours. I will make a public post and pin it to the top.
In addition, we have collected all the issues you have reported about v2.4 and are working on fixing them. v2.4.1 is on the way and will fix problems such as Meridian flip anomaly and PA.

deans

PMTeam@ZWO Can you make the 2.3.3 like an update so we can run this as any other version update? The steps to roll back with iPhone is not so easy, and I don't own a mac anyways.

Thanks

PMTeam@ZWO
Perhaps you could offer two releases on each platform based on their degree of testing ?
Such as:
1 - stable
2 - testing
It might also help to have a unified suite of tests for basic functions that must be done before each release. Then as time goes on If you ever got a reoccurring bug add that to your testing process.
It seems that over time way too many issues being raised here are being ignored so perhaps you could review your overall process for handling and assigning bugs?

I hope you find these comments useful. I intend them to be helpful
Thanks

Several bugs, not possible to use this firmware!!!
Example: DSO stacking not work, it's necessary to reboot the Asiair!!
How I return to the previous firmware?
