Beta for new installer, optimized rendering, and debugging issues
Pre-release
Pre-release
- Rewritten installer
- The installer for 2.0 - 2.1.1 was based on autogenerated code, and while it worked, it left much to be desired.
- Removes any previous versions that use the Wix-based installer when a new version is installed.
- Installs icon as a .ico file instead of a .exe file, to prevent Windows 8 and 10 trying to launch the icon instead of the application.
- Much, much cleaner and simpler to maintain.
- Optimized design rendering
- Design rendering takes about 1/2 the time it did in version 2.1.0 - should be closer to speed of version 1.5.1.
- Should use fewer resources and clean up after itself better.
- embroideryInfo gets some new options
- Now requires --debug for debug output.
- Now accepts --all instead of a file name for --debug and --image, to process all files in the current working directory.
- Debugging changes to gather more information on a few bugs.
- Printing crashes seem to be the most common, so added some checks on the resolution data retrieved from printer.
- New functionality for 'filter ugly stitches' setting
- If enabled, stitches that appear to be movement-only will be filtered regardless of length.
- To see this new functionality, enable 'filter ugly stitches' setting with a large value like 500.
