What's new in this version:
- Wrap files created with a movie in 4.0r4 would crash the runtime. Do not use 4.0r4 and wrap together.
- 4.0r4 broke variables in the Tell Data command, and in some of the Kromo commands. This is fixed.
- Dual processor Macs now work properly with burning.
- The Runtime window now works properly with all Set Window commands. You can change to and from one window type to another on both platforms.
- Runtime Standard windows now resize properly and adjust elements properly based on the Window relative position option.
- On Windows the standard window now has the menu bar in the window and not floating at the top. The menu bar at the top is only an option for custom windows.
- Files that are wrapped require case sensitive URLs. The editor now displays a yellow dot when a URL does not match with the proper case.
- Mac OS 9 Runtime has the default memory increased to 32mb.
- You can now burn a CD on windows and have this run under Mac OS 10.2.8.
- The integrated Help files and reference guide have some modest updates.
- Editor Windows now show the project name and selected tab in the title of each window.
- The Windows editor now behaves more similar to other windows applications. The default view is a full screen grey background and windows minimize to the task bar.
- Added some changes to the wrap file to try and help movies load faster. You must create a new wrap the file for this to have an effect.
- Reordered the Project window buttons. Now it is Check, Wrap, Burn.
- Fixed some random occuring wrap and burn crashes. If you had a crash in the past this should now not happen.
- You do not need to close and open the project file before burning. This is now fixed.
- Fixed a bug with a Table Column were an error could happen, if the table had no rows and the mouse entered the region the element.
- Improved image drawing with QuickTime. Faster drawing and better support on Windows side.
- Fixed a crash with the Table. The crash occured when a command was executed on an empty table.
- On Table Cell Enter and Leave were not being sent in some cases. This is now updated and works proper.
- Duplicate Command is improved to handle void names and regular names properly in a list, and to properly name the new target so the values are stored and can be logged.
- On Windows the right mouse button no longer triggers a Mouse Event. This was inconsistent between the editor and the runtime.
- The Tween command and a few others can now accept a Property for the value passed to the command.
- Files that are disk cached. Now have the read-only flag removed on Windows. This only occured when cacheing from a locked disc.
- Document window would draw the Outline view when the default saved view was the Timeline. This is fixed.
- When clicking the New Document button in the project window, this now brings up the Contextual dialog instead of the New File dialog.
- Fixed a draw bug on with the Project window on Windows were the bottom pixels where always drawn grey.

Keeps getting better - Version: 4.5r4, 2/3/2007 06:45PM PST

Although iShell has some rough spots, it just keeps getting better and better!
The new Gizmos promise to be a boost to rapid productivity. The "Magic" Commands are fabulous.
First getting one's head around how to create in iShell takes a bit, but after you get started, the capabilities are almost endless.
The user community is fabulous and has never failed to help me through rough spots. Post to the list and you WILL be helped.

I too have used iShell, but for about 5 years. The comments about windows, runtime bugs and so on are about 100% likely to have come from incorrect use of the software. I've used this software to generate CDs for very famous companys, and I've found it to be the single most stable software for doing so. With literally 10's of thousands of commercially released CDs, I have yet to receive a -single- error report (that wasn't due to the user's machine not meeting the system requirements.)
It's that reliability that keeps this at the top of my list for such kinds of development. It's object orientated, and the learning curve is steep only until you suddenly understand how it works. But once that's done, you can turn out quite sophisticated products with a minimum of effort... and high reliability.
As to support: yep - it's all provided online, and by other users, generally speaking. That said, it's a pretty vibrant and helpful community.
My experience with the software has obviously been different than that of the previous poster.
