STRABOSPOT

StraboMicro2 v2.0.48

What's Fixed

• Linux: fixed the app sometimes staying stuck on the splash screen at startup (Wayland sessions).
• Affine registration: fixed the image panels sometimes opening at the wrong size.

Maintenance

This release also completes a behind-the-scenes modernization of the app's interface and file-handling libraries. Nothing should look or behave differently. If something does, please use Help > Send Error Report.

StraboMicro2 v2.0.46

Important

• macOS 13 (Ventura) or newer is now required. Macs on older macOS versions will stay on v2.0.44 and will be told why when checking for updates.

Improvements

• Updated the app's underlying platform (Electron 44) for security and compatibility, including fixes for image-library vulnerabilities
• File dialogs remember the last folder you used for images, files, and projects
• The macOS installer window displays correctly on macOS 26 (Tahoe)
• Grain detection reports a clear error if its analysis worker fails to start

Known Issues

• Linux: opening a project by double-clicking an .smz file does not work in this version. Start StraboMicro first, then use File > Open Local Project (.smz).

Note

• A few interface preferences (dismissed startup message, two panel expand/collapse states) reset once after this update.
