V8.4.59 Public Beta Release - Update 2
Be careful when installing the beta software on your production systems. It is possible that the beta test software may fail and your production system may not be recoverable. If you conduct a tuning business, please take the necessary precautions to protect your business. EFILive recommends beta testers use a separate FlashScan V3/V2 device (when installing the latest beta firmware) and only install the EFILive beta software on a separate PC, laptop or virtual machine.
WARNING for all users:
Tune files saved using the beta software are not backwardly compatible with previous versions of the EFILive software.
Tune files saved using previous versions of the EFILive software are compatible with this beta version.
The method for calling Lua scripts from custom menus has changed, please see \Documents\EFILive\V8\User Defined Menus\SampleCustomMenu.txt for more info.
The current public release is available here (https://www.efilive.com/download-efilive).
Full Release Notes:
What's New (https://download.efilive.com/Software/whatsnew_8_4_59.htm)
Version Numbers:
After installing this release you should have the following software and firmware versions installed:
[*=1]EFILive V8 software: V8.4.59
[*=1] FlashScan/AutoCal V3 Firmware: V3.00.129
[*=1] FlashScan/AutoCal V2 Firmware: V2.08.210
Download here:
Download V8.4.59_Beta_Setup (https://download.efilive.com/Software/V8/EFILiveV8.4.59_Beta_Setup_Update2.exe)
Known Limitations:
Limitation #1: When logging DMA PIDs (i.e., PIDs whose names end with "_M" or "_DMA"), if the ignition is switched off for an extended period while data logging but data logging is not terminated, then when the ignition is switched on again the data log automatically continues. However, the DMA PIDs may no longer return valid data.
Workaround: EFILive recommends stopping the data log and restarting the data log when switching off the ignition for extended periods.
Limitation #2: When logging DMA PIDs (i.e., PIDs whose names end with "_M" or "_DMA"), that are specific to a custom operating system such as DSP2 or DSP5 PIDs when running a stock operating system, the values returned by those DMA PIDs will not contain valid information and should be ignored.
Workaround: Ignore unsupported DMA PIDs.
Known Issues:
Issue #1: FlashScan/AutoCal V2 devices fail to start pass-thru read/flash operations with the error "Script File Invalid".
Workaround: Upgrade firmware to V2.08.211 or later, available here (http://download.efilive.com/Software/V8/V2_Firmware_2_08_211.zip). Unzip the two *.efw files into the folder: \Program Files (x86)\EFILive\V8\Firmware (you may need admin privileges), then use the [Check Firmware] button in the V8 software to update the firmware in your V2 device.
Issue #2: The Auto-Detect option in the V8 software may not work correctly sometimes on FlashScan/AutoCal V3 devices.
Workaround: If the auto-detect does not work, please manually select the correct controller. Will be fixed in the next beta update.

The EFILive Team
