Version 3.41 (03/28/99)
! All the bugs of version 3.4 mentioned under Known Bugs.
Version 3.4 (03/26/99)
+ Several selection options (failed previews, empty previews, modified textures, POV-Ray 3.0/3.1-incompatible textures and texture duplicates).
+ Sorting by images.
+ The file of the currently selected texture can be opened with POV-Ray for viewing/editing. If POVWIN 3.1e is used, the cursor will be set to the texture declaration.
+ Copying the declaration of the current texture to the clipboard (e.g. by Ctrl+C or Ctrl+Ins).
+ Displaying progress while scanning for textures.
+ Displaying selected textures only.
+ New acceleration keys (Open, Save, Find Textures, Change Category).
* The DLLs MFC40.DLL and MSVCRT40.DLL now has been linked dynamically. If these files aren't located in your Windows system directory already, you can download the file mfcdlls.zip (592KB) and unpack it to your TextureView directory.
* Better image quality of color-previews by decreasing their JPEG compression.
* Improved text searching (whole words, case sensitive, selection of all found items).
* Improved identification of texture duplicates (comparing by names or images).
* Improved creation of contact sheets for POV-Ray 3.1.
* A lot of other small things.
! All the bugs of version 3.31 mentioned under Known Bugs.
Version 3.31 (10/03/98)
! Sometimes TextureView crashed in the English version in the files tree list.
Version 3.3
+ The texture can be directly modified by editing its text. The changes can be rendered but not saved.
+ with File|Settings|Reload Last File on Startup enabled, TextureView reloads the last used library after startup.
+ TextureView now can be started from the GUI-Extension menu in POV-Ray for WindowsTM.
+ The GUI-Extension now can be deinstalled from the menu in POV-Ray for WindowsTM.
* The GUI-Extension has been renamed from Friedemann's POV-Communicator (DLL-file fspovcom.pge) to TextureView's POV-Communicator (DLL-file tvpovcom.pge).
* The popup message which asked the user if he wants to take a single rendered image in the list has been removed.
Version 3.21
! Fixed bug with preventing users from dragging .txt files into the editor of POV-Ray for WindowsTM (since version 3.1b6).
! Small black pixels in some preview images.

+ Scanning for materials (new in POV-Ray v3.1 beta 6).

+ Search for all constants used in a texture declaration in the texture file or the POV-Ray standard include files. This prevents errors while rendering several texture previews. The texture can also be used directly after copying into the clipboard.
+ When sorting by types or categories, colors will be sorted by their hue values.
+ Up to 20 individual preview scenes, with 5 already built in.
+ Detecting the version (1.0, 2.0 or 3.0) of a texture while rendering a preview.
