I opened Capture One this morning to find a new update in the update notification panel. If you're a Capture One Pro 9 user, 9.0.3 is now available.

Here's what's new according to the release notes:

Known Issues

The release notes also list the following ongoing known issues with Capture One Pro 9

All users

Browsing folders containing unsupported image files may affect application performance.
Previews from earlier versions of Capture One may be updated. In some cases, this can affect the application performance the first time images are viewed in this version of Capture One.
If using a non US laptop keyboard it might be preferable to change some of the standard keyboard shortcuts.
Editing images in external applications other than Adobe Photoshop might result in unexpected behaviour.
Operation under virtualisation software (e.g Parallels, Hackintosh etc) may cause instability. We do not recommend you use these OS configurations.

Mac Users

It is only possible to show the Capture One toolbar in “Icon Only” mode.
Live View over USB can stall without the use of a repeater.

Windows Users

Windows drivers are required for some older models of Canon DSLR cameras to be
able to shoot tethered. These drivers are available from Canon’s web site.
If you have Bonjour 2.0.3 installed you may experience problems with Capture Pilot.
Bonjour 2.0.2 (shipping with Capture One 9) and 2.0.4 (shipped with iTunes) have
been tested to work with Capture Pilot. To check the version number of Bonjour, go
to ‘Control Panel’ and select ‘Programs and Features’.
Importing a catalog can result in the last picture not getting imported.
Operation under RAMDisk by Dataram is known to cause issues with disk labeling. Capture One is not supported with this configuration.

A Question For Any Retina iMac Users out there...

There had been some reports of issues with Capture One pro 8 and Apple's Retina iMac. Some users had reported crashing when Open GL is enabled, and Phase One acknowledged this. A reader had emailed to ask me if I know if this problem had been fixed or not in Capture One Pro 9 and as I don't have a retina iMac myself I can't test it. I haven't been able to find out any information online, so if there's anyone reading this who's running Capture One Pro 9 on a Retina iMac, if you could let us know how it's performing by leaving a comment, that would be great!
