Hello everyone, Ignition 7.6 has entered into public beta. You can download it from: [Beta Downloads Page](http://inductiveautomation.com/downloads/ignition/beta) We’re still working on documentation, but in the meantime, you can read this to get an idea of what’s going on: [Ignition 7.6 Beta Docs](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xqblGVNK7wD9eRcO-tbQ5hplltvuSRGeqWSqtkKeYXs/pub) To add voice alarming, you’ll need to download and install these two modules as well: [Phone Notification Module](http://files.inductiveautomation.com/release/build7.6.0-beta4/04-11-2013_16_29/Alarm%20Phone%20Notification-module.modl) [English Female Voice](http://files.inductiveautomation.com/release/build7.6.0-beta4/04-11-2013_16_29/voice-module-en_us_salli.modl) To use the SMS notification profile, you’ll need a Sierra Wireless Raven XE. To use the voice notification, you’ll need something that supports SIP, like a Skype Connect account or some kind of VOIP pbx. If all you have is a telephone line, you can pick up something like the Atcom IP01 which will bridge SIP to a plain telephone line. We will have ready-made config files for both the Rave XE and Atcom IP01 available shortly. You can purchase these devices through 3rd party retailers. ---

Holy crap, this looks awesome! Looks like I have a lot of reading to do before I upgrade my system though… Will you guys be doing a webinar about this new version when it comes out of beta? ---

Yes, the release is scheduled (_cough_, as these things go) for May 7th, at which time there will be a normal release webinar. Regards, ---
