Hi!
We are proud to announce the release of a new Synfig version 0.64.0!!
Please read the details on the website blog release: synfig.org/cms/en/news/relea … io-0-64-0/
This release is specially significative to me. I’ve been working more than one year on develop and implement the new Cairo render engine. It has been a continuous series of satisfaction vs frustration because the way to achieve the final result was not very clear form the beginning. I would like to give thanks to two persons for that matter:
First, thanks to Nikita Kitaev for the early contributions to the code and the initial strategy draft. Without his initial impulse I couldn’t have done this.
Second, thanks to Konstantin Dmitriev for his continuos backing during the development. He was my crying shoulder when I most needed hope to continue working.
Finally, I would like to give thanks to all the people who has contributed to this new release. It is the sum of all of us and so it is great. Thanks!!!
So back to work. Those are the pending tasks to do:
- Continue updating the latest pages to the new terminology (many thanks to d.j.a.y. for his invaluable labor)
- Update the translated pages with the translation of the new official English pages.

Enjoy!
When will the windows version be released? That is super important.
Also Congratulations.

Very eager to play with the new templates …
but I will have to be patient, cos I am currently using the windows version. (… go Pixelgeek! Go Pixelgeek!..)

Horray!
One of the most important releases in many years. You’ve done a great job with the Cairo porting Genete! And your scripting feature, Zelgadis, is awesome!
A huge thank you to all people that have been involved!
Does anyone have any idea when this will be released for windows? A day, week, month, year?

But to respond something, i can say, windows 0.64.0 release will come between hours and weeks… and very quickly, you can setup an usb key with a linux inside and test synfig 0.64.0 ( as ISS has done 
see(:ya
Yes, definitely one of those. 
Another good post by Alexandre Prokoudine to read : Synfig Studio gets faster rendering - 13. May, 2013
Well, I’m chipping away at it, but every time I take a step forward, I discover another couple of dependencies that need to be addressed. It doesn’t help that I’ve been sick this week, and have a busy work schedule next. Unfortunately, I won’t know when the end is in sight until I reach it.
Stay tuned.
