Announcing openBVE v1.4.3.1a BETA
« on: August 24, 2015, 09:52:07 pm »
So here's a BETA update that's compatible with Windows 8 & Windows 10 which can be retrieved from my GitHub repository:
Download: https://github.com/shadow93/openBVE/archive/master.zip
Source: https://github.com/shadow93/openBVE

What's changed:
  • End-user visible changes:
    • SDL2# & OpenTK as replacement for deprecated Tao
    • New security (train plugin) keys (M-Z)
    • Uses SDL scancodes instead of SDL keycodes
    • Note: WinForms controls editor now shows both physical and virtual keys.
    • Animated loading screen (train/route loading percentage)
  • API changes:
    • Split Interface class to smaller classes:
      • BlackBox - train logs
      • Controls
      • Conversions - the TryParse... functions
      • Debug - program's error log
      • Hud
      • Options - note: CurrentOptions is renamed to Current
      • Strings - Translation engine
      • Put all vectors to OpenBveApi
      • Double- and Single- precision vectors are provided by default
      • Joystick class now provides a SDL Guid.

Many thanks to JakubVanek, a fellow Github user who made this long overdue update possible

It takes really long to load with some routes. Why can't it be like just 1.4.3?

You shouldn't blame the program for that...everyone has a different computer...

In addition, it is a development version, not a full version. There are surely bugs that the development team is aware of that they have to fix.

Can I run 1.4.3.1 with 1.4.3, but put 1.4.3.1 in a separate directory?

No wonder that ant gets around so fast! He has his own subway.
