Stykz/Windows (Release 2) and Stykz/Mac (Release 4) Now Available!

I am happy to announce that Windows Release 2/Mac Release 4 is now available for download at the Stykz site or through "Check for Updates" in the current version of Stykz.

The main things available in this build are:

• Nodes can now either float on top of segments or be interleaved with segments – your choice! You can set the way you want it to be 90+% of the time in the Preferences window, and then switch the node method on/off through the View menu for temporary changes.


• The StykzPlayer is now a window with a close box, and I’ve made other changes to make it easier to stop playback at any time and at any framerate


• The Frames palette was completely re-engineered so that large files with hundreds of frames would open very quickly and not display cut off or overlapping frames.


• Onionskins have been darkened so they don't get lost on bright monitors


• Performance has increased across the app for most actions, especially in manipulating complex figures... the increase ranges from 125% to 500%, depending on what you’re doing.

Of course there were dozens of bug fixes and a handful of enhancements that you can read about on the Release Notes page.

The intention is to finish with any additional features and bug fixes by April 15 so that the last two weeks before April 30 can be used to focus on support items and to get the Linux version to its first beta state.

Enjoy!
