This is a maintenance release

On Windows 11, ColorPlay 4 cannot be uninstalled from the Windows Settings app. To uninstall, use the Control Panel or the Uninstall ColorPlay 4.exe uninstaller executable in the program install folder.
Map creation is not supported. Please use the map creation functionality within ManagementTool from the Light System Composer software suite, or the map creation functionality within Quickplay Pro 2.
The minimum unit of time for effect start and end times is one second. Fractional seconds are not supported for start time, end time, and effect duration.

Linking of effects is not supported. For shows that are imported from ShowDesigner that contain linked effects, the start and end times are converted to fixed times and the links are discarded. This change is reflected in the file saved by ColorPlay 4, even if no other changes are made prior to saving.
Effect duration is not linked to cycle time
