*** Centrafuse 2.0.706 (RC6.1) ***
IMPORTANT!! YOU MUST BE RUNNING RC4 (VERSION 2.0.610), RC5 (VERSION 2.0.626), or RC6 (VERSION 2.0.703) BEFORE RUNNING THE RC6.1 UPDATE/PATCH!!!
A full installer for RC6 will be posted to the website in the next week.
2.0 RC6 is being initially provided as an update as was RC5, not a full installer, and RC4, 5, or 6 must be installed to run this update. You will be able to update to RC6.1 in 1 of 2 ways:
1) Use the Centrafuse Updater (
!! NOW ONLINE !!) by clicking the Tools button, then the Update button, and just follow the on screen prompts. This of course requires a current internet connection. Note that the Updater will only work if you are running a registered version of Centrafuse. The Updater does not work in Trial Mode.
2) Download the self-extracting update from the link below. Make sure CF is closed, run the self-extracting file, and point the extractor to your Centrafuse install directory (defaults to c:\Program Files\Flux Media\Centrafuse).
FREE UPDATE
This release is being provided as a FREE update to Centrafuse 2.0 RC4, RC5 and RC6. It is a self extracting update, not a full installer. A full installer will be posted to the website over the next week. For new installs, use the RC4 installer, and then update to RC6.1.

RELEASE CANDIDATE
Centrafuse 2.0 RC6.1 is a patch to the 6th release candidate, and contains some bug fixes to RC6. Although we are nearing a stable build, it should be expected that there will still be some issues surfacing on various systems. With the help of users, we are drawing closer and closer to our final 2.0 version, which is now within sight.
IN RC4+ YOU CAN SELECT YOUR RECORDING AND PLAYBACK DEVICE FOR HANDSFREE AUDIO
Now in phone settings you can select which recording device (microphone), and which playback device, that Bluetooth will use for handsfree audio. This should fix all issues where user experiences their mic not working or hearing no volume from the phone through system speakers.
CENTRAFUSE SYSTEM REPORT AND FORUM USER BUG REPORTING
You can now create a system report in which all Centrafuse log files, and other cf config info, are packaged into one easy-to-post .flux file. These logs will help us track down bugs reported. So, if possible for you, when reporting issues from now on, please include the system report in your post when reporting on that issue. To create a system report:

3. Unplug any bluetooth dongle
4. Uninstall any previous versions of Bluesoleil and any other bluetooth stacks or software on the system

6. Remove Centrafuse runtime directory - "Program Files\Flux Media"
6. Reboot Windows

USB BLUETOOTH DONGLE ISSUES
If you are experiencing difficulty with our Bluesoleil stack and it recognizing your BT device, please see the below link to add support for your dongle. You must follow all instructions carefully, if you do do your dongle will most likely end up working (no guarantees though :-))

*** IMPORTANT NOTES ***
* If using a full installer (which this update is not), it is recommended/required that you remove all other bluetooth stacks/software/drivers from Windows before installing Centrafuse (if you will be using Centrafuse Phone feature). As with most driver installs for a USB device, your USB bluetooth dongle should NOT be inserted before CF Bluetooth is installed. So, remove your bt hardware, uninstall any existing bt drivers/stacks, install CF, then re-insert your bt hardware.
* The Bluetooth stack provided with the 2.0 RC's (full installers) is a trial version and currently has a 5 MB transfer limit. If after one or maybe a few phone calls the Bluetooth stopshould i delete updatetemp folder?s working, you will need to restart your PC to re-initialize the Bluetooth driver. This is only a limitation of the BlueSoleil trial edition within this Release Candidate and will not have this limitation when officially released
** NEW UPDATE AS OF JULY 5th ** Bluetooth serial codes are now available to registered users through your My Account page. Please see the following thread and follow the instructions carefully to register the bluetooth stack on your system
http://forums.fluxmedia.net/news/3709-now-available-bluetooth-license-centrafuse-2-0-a.html.
* All 3rd-party plugins used with CF 1.47 and earlier should reference the new cfplugin.dll and be recompiled under .NET 2.0
* Settings in 2.0 are now defaulted to show the Basic Settings mode. Advanced Settings can be enabled in 2 ways.
To enable Advanced Settings temporarily, hold down the "+" button in the Main Settings Screen for 6 seconds.
To permanently enable Advanced Settings, similar to older version of CF, pass the -advsettings command line option when starting Centrafuse.
* Each settings group that used to hold a Line-In value and had Buffer functionality will now hold a Record-Line-In value and a Playback-Line-In value, which will work with Buffer On, and Buffer Off, respectively.
* Event Logging has been added in RC2+ to better help us diagnose user issues. Event Logging can be enabled in General Settings (an advanced setting), or can be enabled by passing the -logevents command line option when starting Centrafuse. Function specific logs are also created for things like OBDII, Phone, and SatelliteRadio, these can all be enabled within their respective settings screens. New in 2.0 RC2+, you can "Create System Report" from Settings that will package up all these log files for you.
* Some tips to follow on pairing your phone if things are not seeming to work for you:
1. Delete the pairings from both your phone and Centrafuse (in CF just go into phone settings / device list and click the '-' button.
2. Give your phone a power cycle, and give Centrafuse an exit and a restart.
3. Re-pair your phone and CF, try initiating the pair from your phone, not from Centrafuse. Or on another try, initiate the pair from Centrafuse, but type in incorrect pincodes the 1st time to make pairing fail. Then click 'PAIR' button again, and go ahead and type in matching pincodes to create pair.
4. Save out of settings. See if this makes any difference.
