New in 3.3

General

• For Mac OS X, the software is now provided in a standard pkg / .dmg installer format. A traditional StuffIt version is available for Mac OS 9 users.
  
• For Windows, we have updated to the InnoSetup 5 installer for better compatibility.
  
• Installers and savers work on Japanese and other double-byte language systems. (Version 3.2 would often give incorrect "Not registered" messages or fail to show slide show images)
  
• Installers and savers work on Mac OS X 10.1 again
  
• Miscellaneous artwork and text improvements.
  

Screensavers

• Significant performance and quality improvements for video effects on Mac OS X.
  
• Savers now play nicely on dual monitor systems on Mac OS X.
  
• No more 'orphaned' processes under Windows -- this was preventing uninstall from working and causing other issues.
  
• Customizations ("Branding") on the control panel now work consistently.
  
• Rotated and scaled images are now displayed the same across all platforms (Mac OS 9, X, and Windows) Note: rotation always keeps the image the same size on screen regardless of rotation. This can result in cropping depending on the image/screen sizes and rotation angle.
  
• Slide show image flip horizontal and vertical now works.
  
• Energy saver now functions again on Mac OS X during movie playback (work around for an Apple QuickTime bug).
  
• Background color on movie and slide show now correct on Mac OS X.
  
• Background color for the Alternate (Locked) movie now works under Mac OS X.
  

Installer / Uninstaller

• Uninstaller now faster and more reliable on all versions of Windows.
  
• Wallpaper installation and uninstallation is more consistent.
  
• Re-installing the same screensaver clears out old custom settings (lock code, stretch mode, audio volume, etc).
  
• Removes aliases from Apple Menu Items folder during uninstall on Mac OS 9.
  
• Proper default screensaver control panel icon installed under Windows.
  

Movie Editor

Slide Show Editor

• Original image size values correctly displayed.
  
• Display of slides no longer uses improper cached image.
  
• Audio playbar displays properly on Windows.
  
• On Macintosh, image browser no longer tries to display Aliases from non-mounted network volumes.
  

Build

• "Shell timeout" errors on Windows have been fixed when revealing files.
  
• The Cancel button no longer can leave the build in an half-cancelled state.
  
• QuickTime version popup goes to 7 now, defaults to 6.5.
  

Wizard

• Movie previews now dislay properly on Windows.
  
• Navigation to final "Purchase" panel is now consistent.
  
• Changing the stretch mode now forces a re-build when needed.
