Info
- All users: During the installation, some configurations run in the background and these may seem relatively slow (especially on virtual machines). When the installation finishes, you will be asked to reboot: please do not force the reboot yourself, as you may end up with an incomplete installation.
- MacOS Ventura users: If an XQuartz update message appears after the CalderaRIP installation, please do not upgrade since the latest versions of this application present compatibility issues. If done already, then follow the instructions in this article to downgrade.

Caution - Known issues
Modules

Improved
|
EasyMedia: For Linux users, the default Export Folder in the general settings has been improved. EasyMedia will now automatically change the path to this folder when the previous default one does not exist (in case of a new OS installation, for example), which will avoid manual profile re-synchronizations. |
|
|
Fixed
|
EasyMedia: Fixed a bug in the Print Standard Verifier tool that made it crash when using MediaWedge3 targets and TotalColor qb / Barbieri LFP qb spectrophotometers. | |
|
Fixed
|
Fileman: For macOS users, the error "pdf analysis interrupted by signal 6" was fixed. This error was due to a conflict when reading PDFs with invalid values. | |

|
Fixed
|

|
Fixed
|
Page Setup / S&R: The "180 degrees rotations only" setting now works correctly with the Step & Repeat Contour nesting. | |
|
Fixed
|
Page Setup / S&R: The Step & Repeat Contour now considers the Bleed size to correctly calculate the size of the nested area, preventing the Bleed from overlapping with the cut marks or the barcode. | |
|
Fixed
|
Tiling: Now the tile name is generated completely even if it contains a dot (.) | |
