Now Juha "Capehill" Niemimaki has released version 1.25. Changes: Add keyboard channel. Also remove some keyboard shortcuts to avoid conflicts. Add projects files (.sjp) for those example shaders that require textures. Replace text buttons with more compact images. Show busy pointer during shader compilation. Disable uninitialized variable check (in icon) due to glCompileShader issue with some shaders: future ogles2.library should fix this. Fix loading of arexx.class. Fix busy looping of ChannelWindows.
