We had the code in for over a month to read/write the 52x CDR drives. We now sell them as they are cheaper than the 48X IDE's were, they are significantly faster... and... the 48x will be discontinued any day now. That is why version 2.506 was released early. The new InstallShield installation program is far easier to use, and new customers will enjoy that. Is there much for existing customers? Depends on what your needs are. The 52x speed improvement makes it worth the difference if you have a lot of backing up to do. It will pay for itself in the reduced backup time.
The rewritte player code now only consumes 0%-4% of the CPU processing, compared to 100% before. That is a major upgrade for those who are concerned about the computer being used up by Microstudio.
We simply did not have the available programmers to fix the 8-bit full screen mode right now. The Window mode can go full screen by double clicking, or reverse back to a window by double clicking when in full screen mode. We will fix the 8-bit fullscreen mode and it will be a free 2.507 upgrade to all who own 2.506.
As to making Microstudio play while other programs are playing, more users requested in the past that it NOT play when they shift to other programs running in the forefront. They didn't want it playing in background. You can't please all the people all the time.
