v2010.1 [Sep 21, 2011]
The notable new feature of this version are layers. Layers (with effects) can be used when editing individual pictures or entire icons. The image to icon convertor user interface was simplified and displays live preview of the generated icon.
The built-in 3D editor is capable of automatically multiplying objects and it is now much easier to create things composed of multiple similar parts - like pyramids, grass, or shells.
The new version is also available as fully portable, no-installation zip package and works on Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 (there are minor limitations in look and feel on Windows 2000). Native 64-bit edition is available.
-Layers - layers (with any effects applied) can be used when working with images and icons.
-Better image to icon conversion - the convertor has a new user interface, with less controls and live preview. Algorithm tweaks result in crisper images.
-New drawing tools - a bunch of new drawing tools (LASSO, MOVE, FILL, SELECT with XXX) from Paint.COM.
-Better TEXT tool - able to draw rotated text.
-Updated color picker - user selectable range and accuracy of colors. History of last used colors.
-Simpler material panel for 3D - the material panel was simplified and it is now easier to make transparent objects.
-Iterator for 3D objects - a component in a 3D object can be multiplied and parametrized in the process. This can be used to create things like grass.
-Usability improvements in 3D editor - new rotation method, better working component selection in 3D window.
-Translations - the application user interface can be translated into any language and shared by the community.
-Smarter wizards - creation of new images and icons is faster and simpler (no more useless popup windows).
-Improved Undo - undo multiple steps at once. Steps have names based on the performed action or used tool.
-Media library panel - a panel with the contents of the media library is accessible when editing images or 3D objects.
-Redesigned Online page - the Online page now contains tutorials, downloadable media and plug-ins.
-Bottom of an image.
-Numerous minor bugfixes.
