• Pinboard 2 v2.05 released by RISC OS Developments

    From A Rawnsley@21:1/5 to All on Mon Jul 15 14:30:03 2024
    RISC OS Developments is pleased to announce the release of v2.05 of
    Pinboard 2.

    Whilst primarily intended to address various minor issues reported over
    the prior months, v2.05 introduces the ability to remove the blank edge to
    the iconbar when dropping the iconbar transparency below a definable
    threshold (typically 50%).

    This allows for a completely transparent iconbar (effectively removing the physical presence of the iconbar), without the tell-tale black edge that
    was previously visible. You'll need a fairly recent version of RISC OS 5
    to benefit from this.

    Essentially this makes the transparent iconbar effect much more practical
    and visually appealing.

    Other fixes include better support for less-used screen modes such as lowe colour depths or odd EX/EY modes, sanity checks on sprites/JPEGs which
    might crash the OS plotting routines (eg. corrupted files, or some
    downloaded JPGEs) and tweaks to handling files deleted from the pinboard.

    The software can be downloaded from the ROD website - https://www.riscosdev.com/

    We'd urge users to upgrade when they can - the extra checks to avoid
    corrupted files (etc) can boost system stability over and above even the original OS pinboard.

    Best wishes,
