While both projects have been updated last week, with Nimi Places receiving major update and Nimi Visuals mostly only minor fixes - this time situation could have been reversed. However, as works on one of the branches were finished and as it focused on one of important modules - both updates should be considered as important ones.

Nimi Visuals update resolves event detection issues as well as most noticeably fixes effects z-order positioning. This means that effects like e.g.: transition effects now respect z-order stack.

Nimi Places update fixes issues caused by invalid collections handling that affected e.g.: repaint operations and crashing due to invalid thread termination handling. Secondly revises shadow generating.

Today we release newest versions of Nimi Places and Nimi Visuals.

While both updates resolve auto-update issues, Nimi Places update - fixes, revises and improves numerous of its modules.

Additionally, most noticeably, Place type container elements interaction (e.g.: selecting, scrolling etc.) was improved, including surface and keyboard actions.

Worth of highlighting is also that thumbnail processing was revised to support availability prioritization, which further allowed simultaneous thumbnails generation and loading.
