After almost one year of work, ADVi3++ version 4.0 is here! Thank you a lot to all supporters of the project. It would not be possible without you.
There are many changes in this release and a complete list is available in the Changelog. Below are some highlights:
New features

Binaries
Pre-build binaries are published on ADVi3++ Community but are only available, for the moment, to sponsors of the ADVi3++ project on Patreon. So if you are not a sponsor, you have to generate the binaries yourself.
If you are a sponsor, login here with your Patreon account and get the binaries from Pre-build binaries.
Source code
Complete and up to date sources are published on GitHub:
- advi3++ branch for the latest stable release (ie. 4.0.0)
- advi3++dev branch for the sources under development (be careful, they are not compiling sometimes).
- All releases have also an associated tag
Support
Since version 4.0 is now published, I will again do support for everybody (supporters or not) but supporters have the priority.
For support requests, please use the new ADVi3++ Community - Get Help web site I put in place recently (based on Discourse). You can also use the search feature in order to look for past similar issues.
The updated User Manual is no more on GitHub but also on ADVi3++ Community.
