Release notes for this version

  • Prototype welcome screen using WebView2, still incomplete
  • Prototype rounded/modern buttons in some places
  • Refactored drawing tool controls -- no functional changes but test for new bugs
  • Refactored classic palette
  • Rename "Bottom Panel" to "Classic Palette", rename "Sidebar" to "Colors and Layers"
  • Removed old configuration pages: Browser, Tools

KNOWN ISSUES:

  • WebView2 welcome screen won't work by default when installed in Program Files, you should either try the standalone version or create a subfolder in the "Bin" directory named "NPS.exe.WebView2" and allow write access to it. This will be fixed in a future nightly.
  • WebView2 runtime needs to be downloaded manually from here if you don't already have it, it will eventually be installed automatically by the installer: https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/webview2/consumer/
  • There are still known issues with seamless updates via NPSConfig. If NPS closes without installing the update, just run it again, click Ignore on the update prompt, then when you get the "update installation failed" message click "More options" and then "Install Manually".
