It adds a number of improvements to the previous versions:
** Frame Editor

Allows to change the selected objects'
- Color

4) Added operations \"Image actions-> Transpose, Invert, Mirror\"
5) Scaling of the canvas
- Preselected set of values in 600% .. 30% range
- Scaled to the camera frame
- Scaled to the objects
6) Added \"Drag'n'drop\" of images from windows explorer directly onto the canvas at the specified position (except for ipa files, which
already contain information on the location of objects)
** Options Dialog
1) moved the settings from the tab \"Project\" to \"Miscellaneous\"
2) Added new options (in Miscellaneous)
- Run only one copy of the program
- Do not request the action to compress the project

** Export to animated GIF
- Dialog \"Export to GIF options\" added \"Transparency\" to display the \"transparent\" GIF

** Action with audio, added:
1) Normalization of audio when exporting from the mixing of the tracks (before the audio levels were sometimes reduced)
2) Automatic protection from the excessive sound levels when using the \"Level change\" feature (to
avoid sound distortion)

** Changed the location of configuration files Artoonix
The configuration files option (artoonix.xml), palette (palettes.xml), the most recent initialization
parameters (artoonix.ini, HelpView.ini) are now placed in folder [User] \\ Application Data \\ Artoonix.
The old settings will be moved automatically when you first start Artoonix 1.9.

I'll post a more detailed message into the 'General Discussion' part of the forum, but can I just say here that it's obvious how carefully you have listened to many of the 'feature requests' suggested by users over the past months. Thank you.
