> Greetings (potential) Slurpee users,
>
> Slurpee 2.0 (final) is now available. Recent changes:
> - fixed 1.9 bug where last data field was lost
> - DUMP of variable length arrays in last field should work
^^^^^^
This might be related to the thing that was giving me problems last quarter.
> - 2.x: supports import of gray scale graphics
> (this requires Newt's Cape Graphic Converter or other tools that create
> new bitmap format)
> - localized German version available
> - 2.x: supports import/export of packages
> (assumes desktop tool to create/use format, e.g., NewtonLink)
> - Notes: gets/sets proper 'title field for 2.x Notes (for 1.x, first line
> of text is pseudo-title);
> works with SuperNotepad; DUMP fixes
> - Sound? checkbox is now a picker: none (for no sound) or names of built-in
> sounds
> - 2.x: binary objects (graphics, sounds, packages) now use VBOs (also
> compressed)
> so can be much larger, depending on available store (for 1.x, still
> limited to available heap)
> - Slurpee :addFile API -- so Slurpee can be accessed via Newt's Cape (as
> helper app),
> NTK Inspector (for testing scripts), or other applications
>
> There is also a bug in 2.0 where Slurpee sometimes ignored Notes labels.
> This has been fixed in a public beta (2.1a) -- see my releases page for details
