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](http://sourceforge.net/p/synfig/mailman/message/31453068/). 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](https://github.com/blackwarthog/synfig/commits/single-window).

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. I am going to publish release candidate tomorrow, and (if everything will be fine) we plan to release on October 12th. Time to [update translations](https://www.transifex.net/projects/p/synfig/)!

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](http://synfig.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=20266#p20266).
- 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.

That’s all for now. Let’s rock the next week!

Top notch!  
What an incredible boost the development got from a full time coder!

Good, good… Now it only needs a status line at the bottom, making all functions accessible via Ex commands, a new set of hotkey mappings… we can call it Vimfig. 😆

I’m just joking. 😉 Vim fan here and the canvas window UI without any controls and tabs at the top looks an awful lot like a [Vimperator](http://www.vimperator.org/vimperator) window:
