OSC messages breaking change in a new Gig Performer update

Gig Performer Pro 5.2.2 will be released soon.

Along with some improvements and bug fixes is a change to the syntax for OSC addresses that will break existing scripts.

If you are using GPScript to create or receive OSC messages, make sure those addresses are always enclosed in double quotes. This will only affect a minority of users.

.

For example, if you have a GP Script statement

SendOSCMessage { /a/b/c 42 }

… you must surround the OSC address in quotes:

SendOSCMessage { "/a/b/c" 42 }

:light_bulb: You can make and test these changes in your current GP Scripts now so that no changes will be required after the update.

:light_bulb: General Note: We strongly advise you not to perform any updates, upgrades, changes or installations of any software if you have a show coming up shortly or you are on tour. This is a general recommendation to ensure that you have time to ensure your changes do not break anything in general. For example, an updated third party-plugin or a change to an anti-virus product may introduce issues.
