This update contains the following:

Enhancements

- Added a high quality resampling option to the Picture object’s stretch display mode. This option uses interpolation and averaging to produce a very high quality image. Resampling can be slightly slower than the normal stretch method, which simply expands the picture by enlarging some of the image's pixels.

- The Run action can now be used to execute shortcut (*.LNK) files.

- And several other minor enhancements.

Fixes

- The Align command now works correctly with Line objects.

- Corrected a problem with the Push Button object that caused display problems when one of the button image options was enabled, but no images were selected.

- Polygon objects containing images now display correctly when covered by another transparent object.

- The InternetLink action now works with URLs that contain bookmarks. (This may not work with some older versions of Internet Explorer.)

- Corrected some minor display issues specific to Windows 2000. (These only affected NeoBook and not compiled publications.)

- Starting NeoBook by double clicking a pub file in Windows Explorer no longer causes multiple copies of NeoBook to remain in memory.

- And several other minor fixes.
