Otsav Dj Pro 1.90 20
Sanora Ngueyn
Keeping the focus mainly on today's initial release - 1.90.000 - we'll divide the first part of this document into 3 areas: Things that made it into this release, things that had to be held back but were originally intended to be present, and a little about up and coming planned areas for the Esperance lineage.
- Numerous improvements, fixes under the hood, and major architectural improvements. We can't possibly do justice to everything we've done in 1.90.000 in this document. But trust us... it's better. Much better. But we'll all forever love the old classic Ots of course :)
Esperance obviously uses more resources than earlier versions - it's doing far more. But in truth you won't notice it unless you're either right on a low-end threshold or doing careful and detailed analysis. Esperance has run great on everything we've thrown it at - which includes a wide array of machines, of which it wouldn't be of any practical value going any further back. Think about Moore's "Law". Computing resources tend to roughly double around every 18 months to 2 years - but Ots usage doesn't! So even if OtsAV 1.90 is using more CPU than 1.85 - it's still using far less as a percentage than say what 1.0 did in 1999 or what 1.75 did with video in 2006. Our coding style, driving philosophies and attention to effiencies haven't changed with Esperance. Even with this flashy new interface we still care just as much about conserving consumption as we always did. It just feels like the right thing to do ;)
You'll understand that with such a large change, it's going to take some time for our official documentation to catch up. So in the interim we've created the following page: OtsAV 1.90 Complementary Documentation - which we urge EVERYONE to read - to outline the most important changes and concepts to get you up to speed. In truth, much of this relates to keyboard shortcuts. Esperance is designed in such a way that a seasoned Ots user should have no problem jumping right in. The learning curve (to do all the things you did with previous versions) is next to nothing. However, in order to maximize your usage of the new time and wrist-saving features, you really should read the linked documentation :)
