On Vista with UAC active some applets fail to work correctly if run by a user without administrator privileges. They fail because
they attempt to write to their folder in the Programs folder where Ovation Pro is usually installed.
The applets are:
FontList
Logger
They've been changed to avoid the problem. They now write files in the ApplicationData folder.
A new function has been added to help, appletdatapath() see the Script manual.
The Abbreviation applet has been changed to support different abbreviations files for each user, this also gets around UAC stopping non-administrator users
from changing abbreviation definitions.
2.92 5th. March 2008
Updated time limit for no registration. Fix problem with rendering end caps on Draw lines with adjacent coincident points.
2.92 24th. December 2007
Updated time limit for no registration. Add Windows program manifest and declare support for XP themes.
2.92 13th. December 2007
TWAIN applet updated to version 1.01. When a picture is copied in Ovation Pro a pointer to the original picture is created. This means that a document with 5 copies of a 1 M byte picture is only just over 1 M byte in size. Images imported via the previous version of the TWAIN applet were not copied using pointers.
2.92 29th. October 2007
Crash whilst importing text file resolved. Due to error in auto hyphenation.
2.92 16th. October 2007

Join line applet, fixed bug when selected text includes a new paragraph code.
Fix bug in main program to do with positioning of embeded lines in text
Made main document window Unicode, this allows direct entry of Unicode text e.g. using the Greek keyboard.
Embeded User Access Control (UAC) manifest in installer, this should prevent installation going wrong on Vista if the installer is renamed.
2.92 27th. January 2007
Colour Supplement applet 1.15, changed image processing so that it does nothing if set to do nothing. This is important because processing takes place in the colour space selected. Conversions from CMYK to RGB and back can lose information.
EPS applet 1.07 extended so that previews can be generated by external programs, see the applet Help file for more.
2.92 19th. January 2007
New feature, "Remove" on Text menu. This shows a list of the effects currently active and allows individual effects to be removed. This should be helpful because it is easy to apply an effect like "bold off" and then find that styles applying bold appear to not work. The rule is that effects take precedence over styles.
2.92 9th. January 2007
Fix bug not saving keypress information for styles in DDL files.
2.92 27th. December 2006
Set flag to tell Windows Ovation Pro can access memory addresses above 2GB.
