Added

  • IGES import joins the existing model formats.
  • Imported source files and their local dependencies remain in the authoring project.
  • Losslessly compressed object storage reuses identical content.
  • Portable project archives include sources, media, history and released versions.
  • Export source files with their relative directory structure.
  • Restore an archive into a new project.
  • Anchor labels and arrows to points on a 3D part.
  • Use 3D anchors in web, PDF, PNG and video output.
  • Completeness checks for text, translations, part matches and visibility.
  • PNG and H.264 output up to 4K.
  • Offline speech, an imported voice track and music with level, looping and fade controls.
  • Optional private account storage with manual synchronisation, downloads and restoration of server versions.
  • Separate local conflict copies for unexpected server versions.
  • Optional minimal daily and step counters for self-hosted publications.

Changed

  • The standalone web viewer opens with a double-click and no longer needs a local server.
  • Migrating an older project also preserves its original JSON version.
  • Speech can extend a video step’s hold time.
  • Mobile web layouts move overlays away from controls.
  • Full horizontal and vertical camera rotations are possible; the former vertical limit is removed.

Improved

  • Identical geometry and media are reused across versions.
  • Recovery journals use compressed storage.
  • The web viewer shares geometry buffers.
  • Checklist progress can optionally be saved locally and cleared again.
  • Native views, the web viewer and label projection share the same camera basis.
  • Panning follows screen axes; zoom and fit use the current camera state.
  • Standard view or R straightens and fits the model; F preserves the current direction.

Fixed

  • Corrected gradual sideways tilt during repeated camera rotation.
  • Free preview camera movement does not change the saved instruction.
  • Labels on hidden anchors or anchors behind the camera are not incorrectly shown.
  • Archive restoration checks paths, sizes and checksums.
  • Private synchronisation conflicts do not silently overwrite a different version.
