This release contains a mix of performance improvements, and bugfixes. For me, multithreading is the biggest change- you may notice this in slightly faster load times. Scanning files for datarefs uses a separate thread; this means that the simulator doesn't have to wait for scanning to be completed to start.

Changes:

  • DRT is now multithreaded. All file scanning happens in a second thread, so it won't slow down loading X-Plane.
  • "Impersonate DRE" mode is on by default. This mode works better for most people, and honestly I'm not aware of many people still using DRE. This change only affects new users.
  • Some visual bugs were fixed when using UI scaling of 150% or 200%.
  • All XPL files in plugin folders are scanned for datarefs, instead of only currently loaded ones.
  • Some changes were made to try to keep windows onscreen after window resizes and reloads. Due to the limits of XP10-style windows that we are using, there really isn't too much more that can be done.
  • The mac plugin is codesigned and notarized.

Thanks to @sparker256 for his diligent testing.
