Release notes for QuickTime VR 1.0.2 Update Package
This is a bug fix release of QuickTime VR 1.0.
The files included in this update package are QTVRPlayer, QTVR Components 1.0.2 patch, and QTVRW.QTC.
The following bugs in QuickTime VR for Macintosh have been fixed:
1. When using QuickTime 2.1, if a panoramic movie is offset within the window, it would display improperly or sometimes cause a crash.
2. Cursor feedback when moving the mouse over hotspots was inaccurate when in 1D or 0D warping mode (also known as partial or no correction).
3. In certain rare circumstances, a crash would occur due to an uninitialized floating point variable.
The following bugs in QuickTime VR for Windows have been fixed:
1. Cursor feedback when moving the mouse over hotspots was inaccurate when in 1D or 0D warping mode (also known as partial or no correction).
2. When the hot spot data for a particular hot spot specified custom cursors, the mouseOver custom cursor was not being properly displayed when the cursor was moved over the hot spot. (Note that custom cursors need to be stored in the QTVRW.QTC file.)
3. In the QTVRW panorama XObject, the MouseDown callback was not passing the mouse coordinate. (Note that in both the Windows and Macintosh QTVR Director Testbeds, this feature was not being tested in the SampleMouseDown and TestMouseDown callbacks.)
Also, the following bugs in the QTVRPlayer application have been fixed:
1. When you shut down the Macintosh, QTVRPlayer would not quit.
2. If the Macintosh was set to 16 bit addressing mode, the machine would freeze as soon as you started to pan.
Installing the update:
The files QTVRPlayer and QTVRW.QTC simply replace the original files. (Note that QTVRPlayer is a Macintosh file and QTVRW.QTC is a Windows file.)
The file QuickTime VR 1.0.2 Patch updates the QuickTime VR Components file that is found in the QuickTime VR Authoring Tools Suite on the QuickTime® VR Tools CD. The path is QuickTime® VR Tools:Authoring Tools Suite:Macintosh Run-Time:QuickTime VR Components. Double click on the QuickTime VR 1.0.2 Patch file, then locate your local copy (sorry, it won't update the copy on your CD!) of the QuickTime VR Components file and select it. The file will automatically be updated to version 1.0.2.
The following files in the QuickTime VR Authoring Tools Suite have copies of the QTVR 1.0 resources:
If you wish to update your local copies of these files, use ResEdit to copy the two 'mhlr' resources from the updated QuickTime VR Components file into the destination files, replacing the existing 'mhlr' resources. Note that the bugs listed above do not affect the Scene Editor, so it is not absolutely necessary to update those files.
