New build of v3.99.25 uploaded to address excessive repainting

Posted on 19:04 by Unknown
In my eagerness I released v3.99.25 beta a little early. It still had some safety code in it that would cause excessive CPU use by the GUI *when* the GUI is open and visible. I uploaded a new build a few minutes ago to help with the situation, and am uploading v3.99.26 later tonight after I complete more work and polishing of the new painting code. v3.99.26 beta should completely address the issue and performance of the GUI will be the same as prior builds.

Note the problem isn't that excessive at all, and many developers wouldn't have even cared. However, I've *always* been concerned with making sure resource use by both the GUI and core engine is kept to a minimum, hence the immediate update to improve it.

Of course, this is a beta, and such things are to be expected. That is the risk that goes along with using a beta version. Please understand this. Trust me when I say I am working as hard as I can to get the code completely done, but it has been a challenge. The feature additions have been massive, the internal rewrites have been massive, and now the regression testing will be a massive effort.

I'm going to have to slow down to make sure things are done right, while at the same time speeding up to get more things done ;o.
