Less than 24 hours after being submitted, Microsoft has given release 26 of the LCARS Interface app for Windows 8 their seal of approval!
While not a major release, this one does fix a few annoying bugs, and also "fixes" some things in the entertainment modules to make them more closely match Star Trek canon. A lot of this takes places on the Conn module, and that module also has received a new animation for the external viewer section. The new one should be much more smooth in operation instead of jittery like the old one. This one should also be less resource intensive as well, so it should be a good change all around. Another change is to how the velocity is calculated. The speeds indicated will now properly match the actual warp scale used in the shows. Sometimes we get too excited about new features and some things like that are overlooked....we do try and make them right when we can!
Check the version history for the other major changes in this release.
As always, other new features for this app are in progress that didn't make it into this release, but keep checking back because we will update you when we have a better idea of the release schedule.
Next up is likely the previously mentioned updates to the Windows Phone 8 app!
