Updated to version 4.2


-- Jigsaw Factory version 4.2 changes --

Added several 'Other Info' browser areas to the jigsaw puzzle client. These are all optional and configurable. See the 'Other Info HTML Display Areas' section in the instructions for more info. These were added to make better use of the blank space on the Settings tab page and also to provide areas for information, advertising, etc on the Puzzle Selector page. Another reason that these areas were added is that I'm considering creating a HTML version of the puzzle client that Jigsaw factory would be able to create packages for. Since this HTML version option for Jigsaw factory would involve generating websites and most sites are funded by advertising there was a need to create more areas where ads could optionally be placed. Currently this HTML version is a low priority though, as it would require a lot of work and Jigsaw Factory has sold 18 copies despite all my efforts to advertise and market it.

I found that the jigsaw puzzle client had some contextual issues with the framerate when dynamic options were active. I made a small change to the way that the CPU saver framerate delay code works that should hopefully fix this. I also added the option to use a different method to regulate the framerate. The method used can be selected via the 'Use CPU Saver Framerate Delay Method' and 'Use Busy Loop Framerate Delay Method' option buttons in the controls area on the puzzle client's settings page.

Purebasic also changed the default font used for gadgets/controls which required a lot of user interface changes to accommodate it into newly compiled versions of the jigsaw client and editor programs. The new font used is slightly bigger and more readable, so this was a good change. If you find anything I missed when converting to this new font then please report on the support sub-reddit at: https://www.reddit.com/r/jigsawfactory/

The bonus tools have all been made into freeware and moved to their own website. You can find them at: https://freehandyapps.com/
