LabVIEW 2018 SP1 Released

[hooovahh]

Okay I'm in the process of downloading the fall bundle but I can say that I am thrilled to find that the F1 patch fixes a major crashing issue with access violation, and illegal operations I've been having.  The cause is unknown but I suspect it has something to do with subpanels, splitters, and call asynchronous nodes, but to be honest it could be anything I couldn't nail down the issue.  And if patches are like the ones in the past, the 2018 SP1 F1 patch must be installed over top 2018 SP1.  I suspect this was a patch discovered after going gold with 2018 SP1 and being sent through the validation, and DVD pressing process.  A pain for sure to have to download a huge thing install it, and then realize there is more to download and install, but if it finally means being able to get LabVIEW working again I'm happy.

EDIT:  Seems my issue was likely CAR 715018

Maybe it's a new version of the Marshmallow test.

Hrmm.....I have been getting access violation issues as well with my LV18f2 system, I will have to upgrade and see if the issues are resolved.  NI R and D has been trying to figure out my issue and has not had success yet.

the dev suite version worked for me without issue: http://www.ni.com/en-us/support/downloads/software-products/download.developer-suite-all-inclusive.html

Downloaded about 5x faster than the web installer if you're also having trouble

All my downloads are extremely slow at approx. 65 kb/sec.... multiple downloads will also run at 65kb/sec each. The server seems to be slowing things down...

I took my chances and upgraded...No trouble running the thing anymore, but it still does not accept my volume license (which was updated in November)...Probably just another update of that and it's all OK though (hopefully).

Nice. Never heard of that one before.  Fits nicely.

Not sure what's going on but their download speed is a snails pace across the board.

I downloaded the web install last week and speeds were as slow as I expected due to our infrastructure issues.  By that I mean it didn't seem any slower than usual, maybe the developer suite's are cached differently.  Also geographic location can be a factor since NI has several data hosting locations and it is supposed to pick the one closest to you.  Since all my internet traffic is routed half way around the world while at work I have no idea where my download came from, but I'm in the Detroit area.

I downloaded the DS disks last week and the speeds seemed good to me, considering the corporate IT mess I have to get through.
