2013 Avid Technology, Inc.

Hardware latency values are now reported with far greater accuracy, allowing host
applications to perform the best possible hardware latency compensation
Improved performance
Improved multi-client support
Miscellaneous bug fixes
6.0.7 (Dec 21, 2010)
Addressed an issue with Task Bar Icon Applet bug where the icon could fail to be added
to the system tray, and a cryptic error message presented to the user. This would be
most likely to occur during windows startup on slower machines. The failure is now
handled as the installer will insure the TBIA correctly appears in the system tray.
Addressed an issue where the installer would fail if a component shared among multiple
installers (e.g. TBIA) was already present on the target system and had a higher version
number.
Addressed an Update to Uninstaller to fix and issue that left an erroneous entry in the
Windows add/remove programs panel. The new uninstaller will correctly detect the error
condition and clean up after itself.
Fixed upgrade install failure on XP. TBIA was leaving registry keys open which caused
the uninstall of previous version to require a restart to complete and the subsequent
upgrade install to fail. The Installer Launcher now kills TBIA prior to launching the
Installer to address this.
Updated the legacy uninstaller correctly find and kill 64 bit versions of TBIA.
