Title: release 4.2.22
Post by: sean on November 15, 2015, 09:14:40 AM: Release 4.2.22

Some changes from Gil. Thanks for the content Gil!
I also compiled this release with optimization for size, "-os". 4.2.21 was compiled with optimization for speed "-o2".

What this means is how I compile the code base. It is possible 4.2.21 was not as stable as this release, maybe. Anyways, this release and the previous 7 are all done with the "-os" compile.

Post by: therealbigjim on November 16, 2015, 07:45:59 AM: I have noticed the past several updates have been very stable, at least for me. Even with frequent saves and renders I have had no crashes. Saves have been little slow, but I have the lor sequence imported as effects and it may slow things down. Thank you for the hard work and heaving lifting.

Thanks
