Universe Sandbox 2.0.7 Now Available
« on: June 25, 2010, 10:27:45 AM »
The underlying UI (user interface) replacement is complete. And most users should notice improved performance and speed.

Just run Universe Sandbox 2 to update to 2.0.7.

Please let me know if you run into any problems.


What's New in 2.0.7?

Major
- UI rendering speed is 10x faster.
- International Keyboard Support (fixes the y/z switch on the German keyboard and French users can now type in numbers)

Notable Changes
- Buttons and icons fade in and out when you hover over them.
- Menu fades between pages.
- Added sliders to control Orbital Elements.
- Textbox arrow press sensitivity increased.
- Double click on a simulation in the open window to load the simulation. Also added Open button to page.
- Right click on a body to toggle properties that used to display with just a mouse hover.

Fixes
- Resolves problem with controls and menus overlapping improperly
- Resolves crashes from clicking on invisible controls (that shouldn't have been able to be clicked in the first place)
- Text boxes now scroll and work as expected
- Trail segment textbox now working correctly.

Now that the UI is working better than ever, I'll be spending some time on features that most of you will find more fun and exciting. I know I'm looking forward to it.
