Beta 6 Released!!

Post by Kanchou » Sat Dec 31, 2016 11:55 am

Beta 6 is out.... Finally!! :D

A lot of changes come with this new release.
  • The overland tools functionality moves up to "Release Candidate" level with all functionality intended for V1.0.1 added and only a few bugs to fix.
  • Dungeon Tools move to late Beta (though some significant functionality is still unreleased).
  • City Tools move from internal Alpha to early Beta.
City Tools will have more functionality added, in particular Buildings. Also wall towers didn't pass our regression testing so they are currently de-activated.

A lot of improvements were made to the "Features" with the new ability to create custom lists and to *colligate* features into one single layer.

Everyone should have received a product update email. If you didn't please let us know! Also let us know if the email ended up under spam.
