MAGMAsupport-News 09/2022

Dear Sir or Madam,,

We are happy to announce that an Update for your current MAGMASOFT® 5.5 installation is now available for download. The new version named 5.5.1.5 contains numerous improvements and bug fixes.

MAGMASOFT® - Release 5.5.1.5



We strongly recommend installing as quickly as possible the new version 5.5.1.5, which especially solves the following issue:

An error related to a third-party library leads, in rare cases, to the loss of data in the folder $HOME\MAGMAprojects\. According to our investigations, the issue could affect any file in that folder. In particular, data from the UserDB may be deleted, leading to significant deficiencies in the further definition of new project versions.

The issue does only occur in MAGMASOFT® version 5.5.1.2 and later if the file “magmasoft.log”, which is usually also stored in the same folder $HOME\MAGMAprojects\, is exceeding the size of 20MB.

In the meantime or in the eventuality of a delayed update of MAGMASOFT®, please make sure to regularly check the size of the "magmasoft.log" file on your hard disk and delete it before the file size reaches 20MB. Please note that MAGMASOFT® must be closed in order to delete the file.

The "MAGMASOFT® Patch 5.5.1.5 Notes" summarize all improvements and bug fixes contained in the new version. Please download the "MAGMASOFT® Patch 5.5.1.5 Notes" together with the MAGMASOFT® version.

Installation instructions as well as the general Release Notes of MAGMASOFT® 5.5 are still valid. A direct access to these documents is located in the software download area of the website.

If you already use the option to download MAGMASOFT®, please login to the website and download the new version 5.5.1.5. If you previously received the installation media as a parcel and you would like to download MAGMASOFT®, we can activate the web download for you on request.

We would like to draw your attention that version 5.5.1.5 will be installed as a separate version. If you have not yet updated to MAGMASOFT® 5.5, you can directly use this version.
