This is great news. A big thank you to all the devs!
Something that is particular interesting for me is multiple textures in the AutoUV editor. Could you explain it a little further (maybe a tutorial video)?

Thanks for report.

I just moved it to the appropriated place: Bug Reports -> Current Version of Wings3D - bug reports

I'm going to try do that. But, it's not so different of the way we work nowadays. The process just starts a little different.
Take a look at the post I did when I shared it for evaluation:

I'm going to try build it again soon.
I have been struggling preparing it. For some reason I'm getting a strange error building it.
