HelpXplain 1.8.4 Build 1854Oct 17, 2024
Fixes
Fixed a problem with text objects sometimes being cut off at the bottom. If you face this problem with existing Xplain files, please re-apply the font size for the text objects affected by this problem.
HelpXplain 1.8.4 Build 1851Aug 16, 2024
Features
Creating screencasts - The layout and options dialog for screencasts now includes a new option: Enlarge cursor icon. The cursor symbol of screencasts recorded on displays with high resolution (Windows scaling > 100%) had a different size than in screencasts recorded at scaling 100%.
Fixes
Paste text from clipboard - If the text on the clipboard contained HTML tags (brackets), the special characters were not escaped.
Formatting text - If the text contained literal HTML code (e.g."<b>Text</b>"), the content was taken as raw code, resulting in the removal of the brackets.
Insert SVG icon - Problem with initial size calculation has been fixed (width and height always preferred the viewbox attribute).
HelpXplain 1.8.3 Build 1851May 14, 2024

HelpXplain 1.8.2 Build 1850Mar 11, 2024

HelpXplain 1.8.1 Build 1840Feb 2, 2024
Features
Improved mouse wheel and trackpad support: Mouse scroll works with 4-directional mouse and with SHIFT + mouse wheel. Trackpad gestures for left/right and up/down swipe as well as pinch-to-zoom have been implemented.
New SVG library implemented: If you add SVG images to slides in HelpXplain, the design-time display offers better support for gradients and shadows.
Object shadows: Made small modifications to match SVG shadows more closely with design time.
Copy and Paste operations: Updated compatibility with SnipSVG. You can copy and paste individual objects between SnipSVG and HelpXplain.
