If you don't see that page and instead get redirected to www.maxwellrender.com, it's because you need be logged in to our forums and be part of the VIP user group (so only licensed users have access to these betas). You can automatically register with the forums from the Customer Portal (https://portal.nextlimit.com), by clicking on the link "Register for forum posting" from the left hand side of links (under the Resources section). This will register you with the forums and also add you to the VIP usergroup. Then you need to log in to the forums before accessing the betas page (www.maxwellrender.com/betas). You can choose your own username when registering with the forums, and I suggest to NOT specify your email adress as your username. If you are already registered and you can post message in the forums, then please make sure you are actually logged in to the forums. If you are already registered but can't post, then please use the "Register for forum posting" link which will add you to the VIP user group. |

Version 4.2.4 - 14 Jan 2020
- Added support for MacOS Catalina (10.15). The software has been "notarized".
- There are no changes on Windows so the version number has not been modified (it is kept as 4.2.3).
Version 4.2.3 - 27 Aug 2019
- Added support for SketchUp 2019.2 (On Mac, we suggest to use this version of the plugin with SketchUp 2019.2 or later and using the previous version (4.2.2) if you are using older versions of SketchUp 2019; if you are using SketchUp 2018, 2017, 2016 or 2015, you can use 4.2.3 without problems).
- Known issues: on El Capitan (MacOS 10.11), if you are using SU 2019.1 or older, which is not supported by Trimble, you may get a crash if you launch Fire; once you launch a render or choose a folder to save the output it won't happen anymore. We decided to keep it like that as it's not very likely the users have that combination of OS and SketchUp.
