KNOWN ISSUES:

This major update covers changes in such many areas that some incompatibilites 
can occur. We've put all efforts to make this version as compatible as 
possible with the older ones. But still some problem can happen so please read
it carefully:

- With all changes made in synthesis Phosycon plays better now but of course 
  it plays sligthly different. So please take it into account especially if 
  its sound was highly modified in your projects through effects etc.
  
- Due to changes in playing modes some old modes are unavailable now 
  (listed above), so they can't be restored at all.
  
- Total recall of old projects should work properly with one exception.
  Selection of active preset can't be restored properly so you will have to
  choose this preset manually. However all presets are restored properly so 
  they should sound the same as earlier (taking into consideration changes
  in synthesis).
  Restoring of patterns stored within project should work properly.
  However some hosts may notify you that plugin has been changed or even 
  don't allow you to recall the old project with the new Phosycon.
  
- All external resources from older Phoscyons like patterns (.ph files)
  or presets (.fxp/.fxb files) are imported properly. Patterns are 
  imported via Phoscyon functions and presets should be imported with
  host fxp/fxb import functionality.
  
First of all please remember that if you have some crucial projects 
you're working on finishing them with old verions will much safer.
You can also backup all stuff and check if you can work with new 
version without any problems. Older versions are always available
to download in User Area.
