This is my 10th development report, so we have a kind of anniversary here. 
As result of our past fundraising campaign, Ivan started to work on the Single-Window interface. On October 1st me and Ivan have an initial discussion about the basic implementation plan. It turned a bit different from the initial plan, which you can find on the mailing list. I won’t talk much on that, just let me show you a little demonstration of current progress:

As you can see from the video, we have many UI features missing at the moment, so I see no reason to publish development snapshots this week. For the brave ones, who still want to try the upcoming changes, there is a source code available in this branch.
So, there will be no development snapshots. Don’t get sad, because right now I am in hurry to prepare the release candidate for the new version of Synfig Studio (0.64.1). That’s right, we have promised you a new release for a long time and it’s going to be here very soon.

Note, that the 0.64.1 version will not have some very latest features like “sfg container” and “group-switch” - those yummies are postponed for 0.64.2 (or whatever number the next version will be).
The release candidate also includes following new changes:
- Skeleton layer is hidden by default. Use “Enable experimental features” option in the Setup dialog to get it back. Reasons for that are explained here.
- Looks like in previous build the fix for ffmpeg export on Windows wasn’t complete. Now we have fixed it again. This time for sure. I hope.
