Development history
Version 1.00
Released at the Acorn SouthWest show 1998, Phantasm had one large
bug found just after the show. Originally developed and Beta-tested
on mainly SA Risc-PCs with Acorn's nested windows patch, v1.00 did
not allow lower-spec machines to redraw the palette windows correctly
and hung-up the computer.
Version 1.02
Bugs found in 1.00 rectified. Messages text finalised and !Sprites22
file had icons added such as small display and pin-board.
Version 1.022
Operation bugs found in 1.02 rectified. Also, picking a colour using
the standard Risc-OS 24-bit colour now shows a "Draw" colour name
correctly if one of the 16 standard colours has been picked.
Version 1.03
- Phantasm now imports 'Tints of Tints' and automatically converts
them to single-level tints. For example a 50% tint of a 50% tint
of Black is 25% Black.
- Decimal output has been limited in terms of decimal output.
Originally, Phantasm output tables to 10 decimal places. This has
now been ammended to four significant figures.
- Colour info windows can now be brought-up by clicking on the
palette window colours with any of the three mouse buttons rather
than just Menu.
- The palette window now auto-resizes when a new table is imported.
- Eventually found out how to spell 'separations' (Ignore CMYK
window).
- Adjust button now operates the '+' and '-' buttons on the adjust
colours windows in the opposite manner to select-click.
Version 1.03b
- Product purchased from BEEBUG by APDL / ProAction.
- Alterations to 'About Phantasm' window for RISC OS compliancy, and
to reflect new ownership
- Alterations to Intro screen, to reflect new ownership
- Link removed to Astute Graphics web page - no longer relevant to
this product given new owners.
- Manual redesigned from scratch: large chunks removed.
