Well over a thousand carefully designed icons and other assets went from being bitmaps to being work-at-any-size algorithmic graphics. But actually it’s taken two years of hard work to deliver full HiDPI support. One might think that would be easy, and would just “come with the operating system”. So one of the things we’ve done for Version 12.1 is to add systemwide support for the new world of very-high-resolution displays. But as I write this today, I’m looking at two 3000-pixel displays. And I was recently using some notebooks of mine from the 1990s (yes, they still work, which is spectacular!), and I was amazed at what a small window size they were made for. And in Version 12.1 there are a total of 182 completely new functions-as well as updates and enhancements to many hundreds more.īack in 1988 when we released Version 1.0 a typical computer display was maybe 640 pixels across (oh, and it was a CRT).

We finally got the answer: “Yes! And by a lot”.Ĭounting functions isn’t always the best measure, but it’s an indication. And after all these years, it’s amazing how the energy of each new release seems to be ever greater.Īnd as we went on making the list for Version 12.1 we wondered, “Will it actually be our biggest. We started this journey a third of a century ago when we began the development of Version 1.0. Different teams are delivering on this or that project that started X years ago. All those new things we’ve built and figured out.īut then we start actually making the list for the new version. All those design reviews ( many livestreamed). Of course, I know we’ve done a lot of work since we released Version 12.0 last April. “Is it going to be a big release?”, I wonder. 1 version-to release the latest fruits of our research and development efforts. We’re pleased that despite the coronavirus pandemic and its impact on so many people and businesses we’re still able to launch today as planned… (Thanks to our dedicated team and the fact that remote working has been part of our company for decades…) The Biggest.
