This new SimPE Version does not introduce big new Features, but small Bugfixes and subtle enhancements.

Most noticeable, the windowed Version of the ObjectWorkshop is no longer the default Version. It was replaced by the dockable OW. The old Version is still available trough Tools->Windowed ObjectWorkshop. Most additions won’t be available in this Version though.

The Scan Folder Plugin can now save it’s results to csv Files. Thanks to tickleonthetum fort his Idea!

Skankyboy did provide a new Version of his 3ds importers/exporters.
The overall Mesh import was improved. When SimPE imports bone Data, it uses a new algorithm to find a matching existing Bone, which means, that there is less manual intervention need. SimPE will also try to keep the Order of Vertices when importing a Mesh. Thanks to Pinhead for finding and solving this one.

The get GUID Dialog works noticeable faster now, and it offers to store an (optional) email address, which will be used when you forgot your password.

PLJones changed the layout of the OBJd�Plugin, and provided new Versions of his SimAntic-Plugins.

Malakun contributed a partial translation of the SimPE GUI to Spanish.

SimPE can now lock the Layout, which means, that you cannot move or close Docks, while this Option is activates (in Extra->Preferences…).

I also introduced a new SimDNA Plugin, which makes changes to the SimDNA a bit easier. And I added a new output Option to the Tools->Create Description Plugins, which can be set in Extra->Preferences…. The later Option was added to support the Sims2DB Project (by Pegasys).
