Xtreme 4.0 update

[Charles Moir]

Following feedback and testing from members of this forum and others, here is an updated release of Xtreme 4 and Xtreme Pro 4 that has a number of fixes, described below.

You can download and re-install this from the normal download link:
http://www.xara.com/uk/downloads/xtreme/
Just select to re-install option. If you have purchased the product you will be asked to re-enter you Activation Number.

This is version number 4.0.4916

Fill/Transparency Tools
- Transparency handle deselected - compromised workflow. Fixed.
- Problems with grad fill and grad transparency handles fixed.

Blends
- Text blends fixed.
- Crash hitting escape on profile dialog in blend tool. Should be fixed, but could not reproduce originally so needs to be confirmed.

Extrudes
- Using mouse wheel on perspective slider locks extrude.
- Edge rendering problems on extrude at some zooms. Fixed.
- Blending of extrusions disabled until it can be made more reliable
- Poor rendering quality on edges of grad fill in extrude fixed.
- Bad bevel shape on some extrudes, fixed.

Import/Export
- PDF file causes Xtreme to disappear while importing EPS file (it was really a PDF)
- 4.0 no longer remembers the last DPI used for bitmap exports across sessions. This was causing confusion so it’s now back to 3.2 behavior.
- Flash exporter now issues a warning about feathered objects not being supported by Flash
- EMF import causes shut-down. Fixed.

Text
- Severe performance reduction in Xara 4 for some very specific files. 3.2 speed now restored.
- Errors applying contour to text with characters selected fixed
- Undoing combine shapes subtract messes up text. Old Bug. Fixed
- Font application to text across page spreads now works.

64bit Issues
- Rendering problems on Vista64. Fixed.
- Xtreme locks up after applying feather on Vista x64 with certain graphics cards. Fixed.

Misc
- AV loading document after using layer gallery. Fixed.
- Some tool dropdown lists don't open upwards when required. Fixed.
- Objects on guide layers with no line color are not displayed. Fixed.
- atan2 DOMAIN error using painting live effect. Fixed.

What ! That was supposedly fixed. Anyone else not seeing the HTML Website option in the Export menu?

Thanks for the update, Charles and the rest of Xara team

Blends
- Crash hitting escape on profile dialog in blend tool. Should be fixed, but could not reproduce originally so needs to be confirmed.

Unfortunately, this error is still present, for me at least :\

I can't get it to crash. It seems fixed for me.

I'm seeing the file association warnings too - sometimes just .XAR, sometimes just .WEB, sometimes both.

Doesn't matter if I say yes or no to the messagebox, nor if I'm running as admin or not, I still usually (perhaps always, not sure) get a message.
