Mini vmac 2.8.2 beta released

[Robert]

May 25, 2006

 

Version 2.8.2 fixes a drawing smoothness issue in the Intel Macintosh version, and has further refinements to the user interface strings.

 

Gianluca Abbiati agreed to look at the Italian translation, and made numerous suggestions. The are also refinements in the German translation from Detlef Kahner, and refinements in the French and English from Pierre Lemieux.

 

The Intel Macintosh drawing issue was due to a missing call to QDFlushPortBuffer, and was most noticeable by waving the mouse in a circle and seeing how many ghost images of the cursor appeared on the screen. (Too few means that it isn't refreshing as quickly as it should.) This issue also would appear in the PowerPC version, if it was compiled with a recent version of XCode. The PowerPC version of Mini vMac 2.8.1 was compiled with an old version of XCode, and the Intel version was compiled on an Intel Macintosh. For Mini vMac 2.8.2, both OS X versions were compiled with XCode 2.2.1 on a PowerPC Macintosh.

 

Sorry for the long delay since 2.8.1, due to travel and other reasons
