The main focus of this version is improvement of file format registration* – now supporting “Default Programs” for the recent versions of Windows (7, Vista, 2008) and also with improved registration for XP (now it does not require administrative privileges).
* – individual icons for different formats are not here yet, but they will be added soon.
The best thing about having a personal project is the ability to change deadlines at any time – so yesterday I changed my deadline for Beta 1 to today, and today I made it!

Happy New Year!
P.S. Starting from the next year/release FuturixImager will be copyrighted by both me and Futurix Ltd – I finally got around to protecting the name Futurix and have my own company for that purpose 
On November 24th 1999 I published online the very first public version of Imager (back then it was called Futuris Imager) – a tiny image viewer I wrote because I hated the way most other viewers looked. Strangely enough it still exists 10 years later – with slightly different name, tons of features that could not be done (or did not exist at all) 10 years ago, rewritten 3 or 4 times… but still part of the same vision.
Here’s to another 10 years of Imager!
And the second decade of Imager will start with version 6 – to be finished by X-mas. Cheers!
The next test version of FuturixImager will be available on Monday afternoon
Just a small teaser for localizers of FuturixImager 6
I hate writing this, but I have flu with complications – so everything Imager-related is delayed again. My health sucks this year 
I missed my deadline by one hour – but at least I made it in the end

Coming up:
I’m planning to release final Alpha by the end of the week – it will be the last version with changes aimed at plug-in developers, after that I will start releasing Beta versions with new interesting features (finally!).
