v2.0 Pro
With version 2 I2M was completely rewritten, streamlined and optimized:
It has fewer features than the previous 1.x pro version (See documentation)
It is up to 10x faster.
It is currently only available in the Pro tier
Previous Pro versions are still available for download
Standard tier is still limited to version 1.3x
Standard & Pro pre-2.0 versions will no longer be updated or supported
v1.307 Standard
Fix: Version checking bug (Fix not needed for 2.0 Pro)
v1.413 Pro & v1.305 Standard
Fix: Too long filename console print-out error (would (falsely) report every time)
Fix: For running in wireframe mode
v1.412 Pro & v1.304 Standard
Fix: I2M UV-maps will now use the Blender default "UVMap" name
v1.411 Pro & v1.303 Standard
Fix: Filename too long (>64 characters) bug - names will be shortened (in Blender). Note: Reload Image(s) will not work (the internal name no longer matches external filename)
Fix: "Clear All" possible when no front image is loaded
