Hello hypercubists,

You can now get a new beta on the downloads
page<http://code.google.com/p/magiccube4d/downloads/list>.
The changes between beta #3 and beta #4 are:

• *Improved puzzle scaling:* All puzzles should fit into the view well by
  default. The view is also autoscaled when changing Face Shrink, Sticker
  Shrink, and Eye W properties.
  
• *New Puzzle types:* We have extended the list of officially supported
  puzzles to include additional uniform duoprisms. We have also made
  duoprisms having triangles work, and so you’ll see a few new interesting
  ones which need first solutions :)
  
• Enhanced control over "quick moves" functionality.
  
• A number of further UI improvements/fixes.
  
• Improved how stickers map to twisting grips for large puzzles like the
  7^4.

We are quite happy with the polish of the product at this point, and are
hoping this is the final beta before Melinda makes a public release of the
program on the superliminal site. Thanks again to all for the testing,
feature suggestions, and bug reports!

Enjoy!
Roice
