Artweaver

We are happy to announce some improvements of Artweaver Team which should make it easier using it. Besides some minor cosmetic and design changes there are the following new features:

• Navigation buttons have been added to the session gallery pages for an improved browsing through all sessions of the current user gallery
  

• All connected users to a running session are now shown in the statistics
  

• The session page if no session is running has been improved and allows directly to start a new session instead of clicking again another button
  

• The maximum available space for sessions in the gallery has been increased from 150 MB to 250 MB

We hope you enjoy those feature improvements and if there are any open questions, check out the help articles or contact us.

In the very early times of Artweaver (0.x versions) there was a little filter included which added a nice drop shadow effect to the current selected layer. Unfortunately this filter was somehow lost since version 1.0 of Artweaver and for long time there were several requests from Artweaver users about this filter.

It took some time but now we are proud the announce the release of the Drop Shadow filter for the latest Artweaver versions. It is available as extra Plug-In from the Artweaver website and free for all Artweaver editions (Plus and Free).

To learn more about this Plug-In and to download it please visit the Artweaver Plug-Ins page.

An update for Artweaver Free and Plus 5 to version 5.0.2 is now available. You will get this update automatically over the Artweaver self update feature the next days.

This version includes the following improvements and fixes

• Shape tool improved

If you are using IrfanView together with the AWD PlugIn to view Artweaver document files (part of the extra PlugIns setup) please update to the latest version 1.4.0.6. There have been several crashes with bad AWD documents fixed. You can get the updated PlugIn directly from the IrfanView website.
