I'm happy to announce that version 3.9.35 is now available on all platforms, along with version 4.1.8 of the companion application. The main new feature in this update is the ability to automatically synchronize annotations when using the Connect Tablets feature, which is extremely important when using book mode with multiple tablets. There are also a number of enhancements and improvements, and the addition of two new languages (Slovak and Turkish). There is also a native ARM64 version available now for Windows. This will significantly improve performance and stability on devices with ARM64 processors. For FastSpring customers, a separate installer is now available for this, so you will see a notification asking if you want to switch to the ARM64 version if you have an ARM64 version. This will bump the version to 3.9.36 and install the ARM64 version. For Microsoft Store customers, it should all happen automatically with the update. Please note that face gestures are not supported with the ARM64 version due to incompatibilities with Google's mediapipe library. The full list of changes can be found below:
