ImagePlay 0.3 Into the Wild

Filed under: New Release

I released ImagePlay 0.3 today! There’s a few big new things in it, mainly the Filter Layers and the Fullscreen view, you can read about them in past entries. Seeing as they’re completely new, I’m expecting people will find bugs that I haven’t tracked down yet. I’ve think I’ve gotten most of the kinks worked out, but don’t hesitate to drop me a line if you find some unexpected behavior. There are several ways to contact me listed under the Help menu in ImagePlay.

Another major change in this version is one that most people probably won’t even notice. I’ve completely reworked the Help system around a built-in viewer. Previously the help system was built around a local HTTP server and the user’s browser. This new design means I have more control over how the content is presented, and it also lends its self to more interactive features. So we’ll see where this tightly integrated Help system goes.

As you can read in my previous post. I was expecting this release to be out in a week or so. This was mainly due to testing the MacOS 9 / Windows versions. I decided instead to do a staggered release this time. I’ve released the MacOS X (Universal) version now, and as I have time to test the other versions I’ll release them.

Also, 0.3 should fix the problems on Intels.

So go check it out at http://imageplay.sourceforge.net/ and let me know what you think!
