Version 2.5.3 2009/04/03

Expanded Features

• None.

Bug Fixes

• Corrected the spelling of the folders created by the Co-locate Textures and Fonts feature.
• When real number values were entered for Extended User Data, they were rounded to the 2nd significant digit. This behavior has been corrected so that now everything up to the 7th significant digit is saved.
• Fixed a bug that prevented the tool from operating when a DirectX debug runtime was being used.
• Changed the PE Multiply Setting's preset value.
  The expression itself was not incorrect, but the change helps avoid any slight darkening of the color of the blend result due to calculation errors.
  
  

  		Old expression:  (Pixel Color x eFB Color) + (eFB Color x 0)
  		New expression: (Pixel Color x 0) + (eFB Color x Pixel Color)
  		

• Corrected a problem where in some cases European characters were handled incorrectly when processing recently used files.

Currently Known Bugs

• When a link specification is set recursively in an animation segment tag and a group that includes panes with a parent-child relationship is specified as the target group, the created data may not link correctly. (A warning is displayed when such data is converted; for example when it is previewed.)
• The Font file path cannot be reset. To reset the path, you must open the RLYT file with a text editor and explicitly rewrite the font data path.

Version 2.5.2 2008/11/21

Expanded Features

• Resetting the IME-enabled state for Japanese-language input no longer causes the Hand Move mode to unexpectedly stop working.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a bug that would on rare occasions cause initialization to fail and an X to be displayed in the window when a layout file was opened.
• Double-clicking on the title bar in various tool windows disabled the process to maximize the widow.
• When multiple panes were selected, the selection rectangle would be inaccurately rendered. That has been fixed.
• Using the mouse to adjust the size of a small pane did not work properly. That has been fixed.
• Revised the behavior when multiple selections are made in Tree View, and the color of the selected nodes.

Currently Known Bugs

• When a link specification is set recursively in the Animation Interval tag and a group that includes panes with a parent-child relationship is specified as the target group, the created data may not link correctly. (A warning is displayed when such data is previewed and converted.)
• The Font file path cannot be reconfigured. To reconfigure the path, open the RLYT file with a text editor and revise the data for the font.
• When operating in DirectX drawing mode, if the DirectX runtime library is set to the Debug version DLL, the tool will not work. Use the Retail version of the DLL.
  You can change the setting using the DirectX Control Panel tool that comes bundled with the DirectXSDK.
  

Version 2.5.1 2008/08/22

Expanded Features

• Abolished the process by which double-clicking the title bar of the sub-window decreased the size of the window.
• When an unusually large value or any other illegal value is entered in the Property Window, the display is not updated. This change was effected to ensure that values get set within a limited range.
• Specifications have been changed so that you can select whether to process fixed key frames outside the animation segment during binary file output or have the tool itself (compatible operation with past versions) perform processing.[*]
• When executing binary output features, the output binary file is now always updated, even when the conversion source layout has not been updated. (The /u option is no longer specified in the binary converter.)

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a bug that caused the tool to exit abnormally when the editing layout was switched while multiple layouts were being edited simultaneously (the bug often occurred when the layouts being switched had almost identical texture list content).
• Fixed a bug that would on rare occasions cause initialization to fail and an 'X' to be displayed in the window when a layout file was opened.
• When an application was started, the window position and size were not saved correctly from the last time the application ended. That bug has been fixed.
• When texture files that differed only in terms of uppercase and lowercase were used for layout data, the fact that the textures were the same was not correctly determined, and they would be handled as different textures. During previewing and other times, data conversion would fail.
• In certain instances, the application would launch repeatedly. That bug has been fixed.
• The paste operation with texture SRT animations did not operate correctly with pane information paste controls. That bug has been fixed.
• When texture SRT animation paste operations where performed with pane information paste controls, the texture matrix of the paste target pane would not display on the Curve Editor if the display setting was set to Show Only Valid Items. That bug has been fixed.
• If the Animation Interval tag's import feature loaded a duplicate of what already existed for a tag interval, the reading process would abort on an error. That bug has been fixed.
• When a group name was changed by label editing in the Group window, the Tree View would scroll unnaturally. That bug has been fixed.

Currently Known Bugs

• When a link specification is set recursively in the Animation Interval tag and a group that includes panes with a parent-child relationship is specified as the target group, the created data may not be able to link correctly. (A warning displays when such data are previewed and converted.)
• The Font file path cannot be reconfigured. To reconfigure the path, you need to open the rlyt file with a text editor and directly revise the path for the font data.

Version 2.4.2 2008/05/16

Expanded Features

• None.

Bug Fixes

• Improved unnatural mouse scrolling motions for selecting and editing nodes in the Hierarchy and Group windows.
• Added information about problems with IntelliPoint compatibility when using LayoutEditor in DirectX mode.

• To the Help manual, added a description of the Display/Hide flag.
• Corrected a problem where the feature for suppressing duplicate error message reports could not be used.
• Corrected a problem where the border line would be drawn incorrectly when a window pane was drawn, even if a specification was given to not draw a border.
• Corrected a problem where Undo and Redo would not function correctly when extended user information for a pane was changed.
• Fixed a Curve Editor bug in which a key adjusted with the Adjust Time Scale feature would not be processed properly if it was set to the same time as an existing key.
• Changed additional key frame selection so that the selection status of the added keys is inverted (this is now standardized with layout window processing).

Version 2.3.2 2007/12/19

Expanded Features

• None.

Bug Fixes

• When the Tool window's snap-to process was enabled, the window could not be moved outside of the desktop region. That bug has been eliminated.
• In the Curve Editor window, when the Filter by Key frame feature was toggled on/off, the item being edited would not update correctly. That bug has been eliminated.
• When operating in GDI rendering mode, character strings for debugging would not draw to the Layout window. That bug has been eliminated.
• In the Layout environment settings, when the grid for display in the layout was set to a size of less than 1.0 the tool would crash. That bug has been eliminated.
• Group settings features related to the Animation Segment tag did not operate correctly. That bug has been eliminated.
• Implemented a feature to select texture with the DEL key in the Texture window.
• In the Layout window, when dragging with the mouse to resize the pane, use of the Shift key did not work properly to change the size in the X and Y directions simultaneously. That has been fixed.
