Next Version (coming very soon!)

OK, let's get to the meat of this announcement by talking about what we have coming in the next version (which we aim to have out in the coming days). We've made some pretty substantial changes to v2020.004.000 and as such, we need more time to fully test it in order to ensure everything is working as intended. We'll be making another announcement soon, once the update goes live!

[h3]Full UNICODE Support[/h3]
We implemented partial UNICODE support last year but there were still many parts of the engine that couldn't properly display UNICODE characters, which meant that 001 couldn't be fully translated into languages like Russian or Chinese. However, with v2020.004.000 we can finally support these characters throughout the 001 editor. This required a huge amount of work, as we needed to create entirely new UNICODE-compatible controls and then update every window in the engine to make use of them.



[h3]Dark UI[/h3]
Something else that's been hotly requested is also finally being implemented. We began with some early tests last year however we've finally managed to complete our Dark UI (which has had quite the dramatic overhaul from that very first teaser image we showed). By default Dark UI will be enabled but you can revert back to classic 001 within the Options window. Additionally, we've updated the main font to Verdana - giving the engine a slightly more modern look.



Keep an eye out over the coming days for our update announcement!
