#2.01 update to 3DS
4 messages in this thread
I'm a new 3ds addict (purchased the generous education discounted package
for my school this summer). I heard from another user that there is an
update to version 2.0 . I haven't received any notification of this. What
is the difference in the newer version? I new enough that I couldn't tell a
bug from my myriad mistakes. Should I upgrade, if so, HOW?

PS. I have a number of students who are becoming addicted also. You should
print health warnings on your boxes.
There is a 2.01 update (available for about a month now) that fixes a
number of minor bugs in 2.0, plus adds faster PXP and AXP support, some
other IPAS enhancements, and a better 8-bit color cut method for making
flics and gif files. The problem with 2.01 is that there are two bugs in
it that required us to make a 2.01a, which will be available from your
original dealer sometime in December. If you're not heavy into the IPAS
stuff, I'd wait till later in December or sometime in January to update to
2.01a. There's nothing that critical in 2.01 or 2.01a that you need to
update before the break.

PS: I know what you mean about health warnings. I've been addicted to
this stuff for about 10 years. <g>
Thanks for the reply. I'll wait for the update of the update. This is a
neverending cycle. As soon as I purchase software there seems to be a new
and better version knocking at my door. Ireceive my Stacker 3.0 upgrade
today and in the same mail was the upgrade notice from Autodesk about
Animator Pro. I have had the program for less than a year and already I
feel like my pocket is being picked. Of course, I would probably complain
if there were no improvements.

It's true that software _is_ a never-ending cycle. But in most ways,
that's a blessing, not a curse. It keeps the tools current with the needs
of the people who use them.
