Linux and Windows users, please go to http://spato.net/download and install this update manually.

• Screenshot feature can now save PDF, PNG and export the current node layout
  Press S to bring up the screenshot settings window, which is also accessible via the context menu of the network drop-down (in the upper-left corner).
• Better system integration on Windows and Linux
• Improved update mechanism and faster application startup
• Various minor bug fixes
• Source code ported from Processing to pure Java
  SPaTo still uses the awesome Processing libraries but can now be built from the sources without the Processing Development Environment. Also, the cross-platform tool Apache Ant is now used as the build system (instead of make).

Assuming that no immediate bug-fixes are necessary, this will become the public release version.

• Now available for the Linux platform
• Added option to show the full network or the immediate next neighbors of a node
  The buttons to toggle these options are currently invisible since the full network option may make the application irresponsibly unresponsive.

  • F toggles display of the full network
  • E toggles display of the immediate neighbors of the current root node
  • L toggles superimposed display of the shortest-path tree
  • Holding down Alt while displaying immediate neighbors will show the neighbors of node at the mouse cursor instead of those of the root node
• Improvements to the auto-update mechanism
  The updater is a little more communicative in the unlikely event of a water landing or other mishaps. Also, automatic checks for updates can be disabled. Manual checks for updates can be triggered using the context menu of the network/document drop-down.
• New colormap “jet” (as in MATLAB), removed “focustop” and “focusbottom”
• Added work-around for binary sparse matrices with 1-based indices written by save_spato.m
  All indices in XML data are 1-based, but indices in binary data (“blobs”) are 0-based. If the weight matrix has no links to node 0 but links to node N, all indices are adjusted by –1.
• Maximum memory size now hardcoded to 1024 MB
  This should fix the fatal start-up problems in Windows.
• Various other minor bug-fixes
• Documents can be opened by dragging the .spato file into the application window
  Of course, this item should read “data import still not available”, but we want to think positive...
• Backbone is now called skeleton

• Added option to show the network backbone
  
  Click the Backbone button in the upper left or press B to toggle display of the backbone. All links of all trees are shown, color-coded by the number of trees they participate in (black indicating participation in all trees and lighter grays indicating participation in few trees).
• Screenshots now always render nodes using circles
• More secure self-update: now checking file authenticity with crypto-magic
• PDF fonts are loaded on application launch, reducing the time needed for producing the first screenshot
• Added splash screen on Windows to indicate that the application is launching
• Fixed crash on pressing snapshot album/series hot-keys when no snapshots are available in the displayed data
• Minor cosmetic changes to the user interface

This is the first release using the new version numbering scheme

• Automatic self-update mechanism (on Mac and Windows)
• Full native platform integration on Mac OS X
• Partial native platform integration on Windows
• Improved handling of uncompressed SPaTo documents
  
  On Macs, the .spato folders are automatically registered as bundles and presented as single files to the user. On Windows and Linux, the "Open document" dialog now allows to select either the .spato folder or the document.xml inside the .spato folder.
• Fixed not being able to change directory in the file chooser dialogs on Windows.
