Version 1.100. Released February 26, 2006
Changes in this version
Removed the "MANUFACTURER" control panel, opting instead to make all available manufacturer's molds selectable in the "MOLD DESIGN" control panel. The buttons in the control panel display a brief name for the mold, while the top line of the panel shows a more verbose description of the mold. The tool maintains an internal profile for each manufacturer. When a mold selection causes a manufacturer change, the design window is updated accordingly.
Added gold foil hot-stamps. Currently, only a few samples are selectable in the "INLAY / STAMP" control panel. User-customizable hot stamps coming soon.
Added T.R. King "Small Crown" and "Cigar & Snifter" molds.
Added Paulson "Home" mold.
Added T.R. King edgespots: 3 SINGLE, 3 DOUBLE, 4 SINGLE, 4 DOUBLE, 5 SINGLE, 3 QUARTER MOON.
Added Paulson edgespots: Pattern 06, Pattern 23, Pattern 23.
Added small preview/sampling of Chip Forge "synthesized" edgespots (currently selectable on "Cigar & Snifter" mold only).
Added new sample set of denominated "Teddy" inlays.
Behind-the-scenes changes to improve browser cache/versioning issues.
