Version 1.21 - Jan. 1995
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
o Uses CTL3DV2.DLL instead of CTL3D.DLL
o Executable is a lot smaller
o Fixed bug that caused images in the root directory of a drive to not be
recognized properly
o Fixed bug that caused ACDSee to crash if the root directory of a drive
contained no files or subdirectories
o Having two top-level windows was the source of some grief for the Windows
window manager. Now the Image Browser and View Window are both child
windows of an invisible main window.

o Thumbnails are now generated properly for Grayscale Targa (TGA) images
o Fixed bug that caused thumbnails to sometimes be displayed in full size and
colour

been made to ACDSee for that file type

and Floyd-Steinburg dithering (except for JPEG Ordered, which is hard-coded
into the decoder)
o Added Floyd Steinburg dithering process to the thumbnails when the source
image is highcolor or truecolor (except to JPEG, which is Ordered and hard

Version 1.01 - Dec. 1994

and holding it during compression, which is a no-no -- windows only
supports five concurrent device contexts)
o Vast improvement in image quality when displaying grayscale JPEG's
in 256-color mode.
o Re-organized code to make it easier to add other image formats, such as
GIF (yes, it's coming...).
