In 2.6 we have the possibility to turn off automatic number abbreviations in bar views. When loading the iok in a Viewer this setting is not taken over. Is this expected behaviour? Is that something that can be changed? Would be great as it is a very helpful feature.
Yes, webstart uses 2.5 by default, and this is a feature that requires 2.6.
You can start 2.6 webstart by using the launch button on the 2.6 download page. But if you create a link for this, it will only work for a week or two, until 2.6 becomes the default version (in a month or two).
Yes, if using anything other than the "/getomniscope" default download, you will need to recreate the link every week or two, because your link will contain a reference to a specific build which only stays up for a short period since we release so frequently in beta.
