-Improvements to global time scaling, if you need to change the FPS of your film.
-Better rounding for 16-bit sample conversion and improved half-rectangular dithering when saving modulators.
-Added rendering support to the Costume Window for point-lists and line-lists.

Happy animating!

SFXEngine v2.06 is now live.

Changes include:
-Improvements to half-rectangular dithering ("16-Bit").
-New triangular dithering ("16-Tri"). This dithers the full width of the sample twice, multiplied together like combining two dice rolls of a full-rectangular dither.
-Improvements to rounding accuracy when saving samples in 16-bit of any sort ("16-ND", "16-Bit", "16-Tri").

Full details of the update in the Readme.txt file.

The next SFXEngine release will be the Casino Sound Pack. A mix of card sounds, slot machine sounds, and things of that ilk.
