Maintenance release of AstroDMx Capture for Linux version 0.78.3.2

Nicola has made a maintenance release of AstroDMx Capture for x86-64 Linux.



Some users were experiencing a problem of the software crashing on startup. This was traced back to a problem not in the software, but in the CPU instruction set of some older x86-64 CPUs. This has been rectified in the maintenance release.

If users of version 0.78.3 have experienced no problem at startup then they should do nothing and just use the software as usual. Only if they experienced the startup crash should they install the maintenance release 0.78.3.2. There is absolutely no functionality difference between the version 0.78.3 and the maintenance release 0.78.3.2. The maintenance release just fixes the startup problem for older CPUs.

Meanwhile work continues on the macOS and Windows versions of AstroDMx Capture.
