Nikon Z8 Pre-release Available?

[wc5q]

BYN,

Is there a pre-release version of BYN available that supports the recently released Nikon Z8. I will be happy to help test the software when it is available. Thanks.

There is no pre-release version of BYN currently available. The latest release is only 2 months old.

Please remember that BYN cannot support a specific model until Nikon has released a version of their Software Development Kit (SDK) that supports the camera. This can take from weeks to months to occur.

The new Nikon SDK is only available in 64 bits.

BYE/BYN are only available in 32 bits - for now - so the short answer is that I have some leg work to do first.

What I have done so far:

1. Upgraded the UI library to a version that compiles on 64 bits ~ this was a showstopper - but is fixed now
2. Download Canon and Nikon SDKs 64 bits
3. Compiled BYE in 64 bits and did preliminary testing (a few bugs but mostly functional)

What I have yet to do

1. Compile BYN in 64 bits
2. Fix a few bugs (as they come along)
3. Test BYN/BYE 64 bits like crazy
4. Release in the wild
