====== Release 2.3a ======

Release 2.3a is patches the known faults introduced with release 2.3 (see [[bundydocs>l3dt:history:v2.3a|release history]]). In particular, there were a few bugs in the new 'wizard' dialog system and some of the underlying 'glue-code' scripts. These have been fixed.

===== Presets =====

I've also included a new [[bundydocs>l3dt:userguide:wizards#wizard_presets_bar|presets bar]] at the bottom of some wizard dialogs. This allows you to store and recall your favourite combinations of settings for particular algorithms, and also change the default settings.

===== L3DTVi2 =====

L3DTVi2 has been updated to support recent ATI graphics cards.

===== Installer =====

The installer has been re-written using [[http://nsis.sourceforge.net/|NSIS]]. Aside from being less buggy, this installer also (optionally) installs L3DTVi2 and the off-line tutorial docs.

===== What's next? =====

L3DT 2.3b is planned to include texture splatting and anti-aliased shadows (see [[bundydocs>aaron:todo:l3dt|dev plan]]). I intend to hold back on the release until __//at least//__ October, so I may have time to indulge in some feature-creep.
===== Thanks =====

I'd like to give a big cheerio to the members of the still-shiny-and-new [[http://groups.yahoo.com/group/L3DT_users_group/|L3DT users' group]], who reported and helped diagnose many of the bugs now fixed in this release. Their perseverance and patience was great, and was greatly appreciated.
