So much to do, so little time... (Timeline Shift)

The release announced today is a major upgrade, and signifies the last Win/Mac Public Beta for Stykz 1.0... don’t worry, Undo is still coming, but it will be in “Release Candidate 1” (the next release after this one) and will most likely be the last feature added to Stykz 1.0 before its official release. The way this is going to go is:

  • Last Public Beta (this one)

  • Release Candidate 1 ("RC1") – Includes bug fixes from the public beta and Undo support

  • Release Candidate 2 ("RC2") – Includes bug fixes only, along with working on support files (help/tutorials/etc.)

  • Final 1.0 Release

Now as you can see, it’s currently April 23, and there's still Undo to add, bug fixes on the list left to do as well as for any found during this last Beta and the RC1/RC2 releases, so there’s unfortunately no way to release 1.0 as planned on April 30.

The release date for Stykz 1.0 has been moved back to May 21, which is only another 3 weeks but should give enough time to get everything done. The Linux releases have been affected as well.

Hopefully there will be no more need to push back the timeline, and we appreciate your understanding.

Importing images and backgrounds won't happen until probably 1.5 or 2.0.
