Hey guys, Stykz Release Candidate 4 is now avaliable for public download!, It’s taken a while for it to come but it has finally come, if you want to download it, click here and look on the sidebar.

It has the following features/fixes from the last version (as quoted by Stykzman):

• Added new Welcome Center which lets you open a recent document, open a blank doc, get help, link to tutorials, etc.
• Reworked the architecture for manipulating figures to make it as accurate as possible – there should be no more rotate/scale issues.
• Made polyfills more “intelligent”; if you add a node to a figure where the “parent” and “child” of the node you added is part of a polyfill, the new node you added becomes part of the polyfill.
• Added support for directly opening .styk and .stk files.
• Added ability to lock a figure so that it you can’t modify it in any way.
• Added automatic saving and automatic backup
• Modified interface of the Properties palette so that mixed selections would show as mixed and not as just the value of the first selected object in a group. Fields with mixed selections display as empty; checkboxes show a dash (Mac) or filled-in square (Win); color swatches show a diagonal slash through them.
• Added decimal precision for width, angle, and length (and you can set how to display the precision in Preferences).
