This release updates the project file format to EZ-Configuration v2! This newer file format is smaller and requires less physical machine memory. The EZ-Configuration v2 data is nearly 5 times smaller! This upgrade is necessary on our preperation towards mobile device support.
*Note: When loading a EZ-Configuration v1 file, a dialog will display with Import details. This dialog will only be displayed during EZ-Configuration v1 file loading. Once the file has been re-saved, the dialog will not appear for that file. Re-saving a file will upgrade it to EZ-Configuration v2 file format.
For fun, compare the file sizes between your old and new files - notice the difference
Changes:
- New Control: Custom Movement Panel (located under Add Control->Misc) for unsupported movement controllers
- New Configuration v2

Wall-E - 3071KB -> 2747KB
R2 - 448KB -> 24KB
Omnibot - 274KB -> 24KB
My Wall-E file has a soundboard panel within, my other (2) files do not.
@Lumpy, those numbers look correct. Any files with embedded compressed media cannot be compressed any further. The R2 and Omnibot boast 18 times and 11 times smaller, respectively. Those are awesome findings!
LoL
Maybe we should try the Turing Test on him.... or should it be on Wall-e
