  • 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.
