Toucan 2.1.0 Development Test 3 has now been uploaded.
This is classed as a Development Test not because it is buggy but because it doesnt yet implement all of the features that I would like to add for 2.1.0, however it does add two new major features which I would like as much testing as possible for, they are:
New Progress Box
2.1.0 adds a brand new progress box that looks a lot nicer than the old one in my opinion, it also includes a progress bar that should be very accurate, the trade-off for this is setup time, I would like to know if it seems annoyingly long for you.
New Sync Engine
The Sync engine has also been rewritten for 2.1.0, this includes the preview system, which should now completely reflect what is going to happen. The engine should bring major speedups for all Sync modes, especially Mirror and Equalise; I have had them going up to 10x faster in some of my testing. I would like to know if seem faster to you guys/gals and if it seems to be accurate.
Thanks in advance
