Version 3.0.1a                       29 Jan 04

   Bug Fixes

      - When 3.0.1 was run on a system that did not have 3.0 on it, or when
        the "reset default settings" option was used in 3.0.1, the program
        might not ever be usable again -- it could crash at startup every
        time it was run.

Version 3.0.1                        10 Dec 03

   New Features

      - Added Sequence Start and End frames to background image dialog.  This
        allows part of an image sequence or AVI to be used as the bg image.

      - Also added a "hold count" to the background image dialog which allows
        an image (or the last image of a sequence or AVI) to be held for a
        specified number of frames.

      - Added library name to top of library window.  Click to load a new
        library.  Can be turned on/off using the library window context menu
        "show library name" option.

      - Added more information to graph window titles.  Can be turned on/off
        using the graph window context menu "detailed titles" option.

      - Added "flip vertically upon import" option to Import (position data)
        dialog.  This allows tracking files exported from combustion to be
        used.

      - Added "All files" options to Import/Export (position data) file types
        after selecting "Tab-delimited text" as the import/export type.  This
        allows for easier selection of files that don't end in ".txt".

      - Point Smoothing dialog (when using "record position" function) has
        been updated a little, and the slider range has been increased.  The
        previous "max" setting was 10; the slider now goes to 20.

      - Added "Paste" to context menu of Hierarchy.  Since Copy & Cut were
        already there, not sure why this was missing.

      - Added maximum supported texture size to OpenGL info window in
        preferences dialog.


   Bug Fixes

      - Now allows non-integral framerate values, so it is possible to set the
        project framerate to 29.97 fps.

      - When bg image was not the same size as the stage, and you answered
        "no" to resizing the stage, that question would be asked a second time
        after clicking OK to close the bg image dialog.

      - When using the "keep aligned to motion" option with motion blur, often
        the initial particle angle would be different for each blur frame,
        resulting in a visual "jumble" for that particle.

      - Import/Export (position data) options are remembered now between
        sessions.

      - Import/Export (position data) choices now include After Effects 6.0.

      - When drag select a Force (with the "drag box") it would not be
        selected in the hierarchy.

      - When point smoothing was used after the "record position" function,
        the internal control points (not visible) for the position keys were
        not updated correctly.  This would only cause a problem if fields were
        rendered on this emitter, and if the emitter contained "single" or
        "attached" particles.

      - Removed the always-disabled (never used) "Export" command from the
        "File" menu.
