Hello everyone!
Welcome to the first post 1.0 release of Spriter. Aside from a couple of bug fixes, this release includes a new video help option that lets you watch our YouTube tutorials in a floating window (with links to open the playlists in your default browser). Video Help will show up immediately upon startup to give guidance for beginners, and the window has an option to disable this behavior. Spriter will now warn you if you try to save outside the project directory that it won't be able to find it's images, and will also provide an explanation and the expected file structure when you load a file with missing images.
An important note for Mac users. There is an optimization in this version that may correct the performance issues some users have been experiencing on the Mac. Please let me know if this fixes the issue for you, as it seemed to make a significant difference on our machines.
We will continue to fix bugs and provide minor feature updates, but my primary focus at the moment is completing the developer documentation.
Lastly, if you're reading this and you don't already own Spriter Pro, or you have a friend who doesn't, Steam is having their Autumn Sale now, and Spriter is 50% off until December 2nd. Spread the word!
