New in StaxRip 1.0.0.2 (Jan 7, 2008)

  • StaxRip is now distributed with a installer checking if .NET framework 3.5 is installed. Unfortunately it wasn't possible to make the auto updater of the old version beware of setup versions so the first setup version has to be downloaded manually
  • The following external applications were updated: NeroAACEnc, DGMPEGDEC, DivX, MP4Box, XviD, x264, VirtualDub, MKVtoolnix. Furthermore more applications are hosted by myself since my webspace now has unlimited traffic
  • A bug was fixed causing a crash using the 'Edit' feature in the profiles dialog
  • A bug was fixed regarding the setup, settings location, local and roaming application data directory
  • A bug was fixed with the turkish and maybe other locales causing a crash while encoding
  • A bug was fixed causing StaxRip to auto resize the image size even when this feature was disabled
  • A bug was fixed not allowing to define the escape key as shortcut in the menu editor
  • The 'Deblock' filter of DGIndex was added to the profile defaults
  • On a crash StaxRip now saves the active project silently instead of showing a dialog asking to save which had a recursion issue. On next startup the crashed project gets loaded automatically

New in StaxRip 0.9.9.9 (Apr 16, 2007)

  • Command Line was broke due to a command handling bug
  • Another command handling bug causing StaxRip to crash if a menu was reused instead of reseted while updated from an old StaxRip version
  • The homepage was updated from Drupal 4.7.2 to Drupal 5.1, it uses the garland theme now
