Releases: Zoomicon/READCOM_App
Version 0.5.8
Note: ALWAYS DOWNLOAD THE LATEST VERSION FROM https://github.com/Zoomicon/READCOM_App/releases, expanding the "ASSETS" section at the top
There is also a Windows 10/11 Store version (32-bit) that, once installed, can update to newer versions via the "Library" menu of Windows Store app.
For usage information see release notes of first release and see this walk-through video
The default document shown when app first launches (or with New button) contains a link to the Tortoise and the Hare Aesop fable story to try.
Alternatively:
- can try downloading manually and opening that story for testing (right click the link and select to Save As a .readcom file - to use that story's URL in URLActions of StoryItems right click the URL and select Copy, then right-click and Paste in the URLAction editbox at the popup dialog of the ActiveStoryItem in the app).
- can download the whole Gallery in a .ZIP file (extract its Gallery subfolder somewhere on your PC) and load that sample story from the "Stories/Aesop Fables" folder, per the instructions found at https://github.com/Zoomicon/READCOM_Gallery/. The Gallery also contains useful media assets of permissive license at "Assets" subfolder to add to your stories
For a list of Bug fixes and Enhancements in this version see here
The .exe file is compiled for 32-bit Windows (runs on 64-bit Windows too, but for 64-bit you could also download the x64 version that can use more memory)
The .upx.exe file is the same as the 32-bit one, but UPX-compressed (much smaller, might take an instant more to start up and may trigger antivirus false alerts)
For Windows machines with older graphics cards or older graphics drivers with no available driver updates, try holding down SHIFT key when running the application. This will use older Graphics Device Interface (GDI) instead of DirectX on Windows and mention "(Compatibility Mode") on the titlebar of the application.
If you have issues with this version you can try an earlier one, plus please report the issue here or any suggestions you may have for enhancement.
You may also ask questions and do discussion regarding the READ-COM application at Discussions.
