Statement of Direction for Windows operating systems (posted 12-17-05).
Download WeaveMaker MI 8.6.0 [3-27-10]
Fixes two bugs, in Print Preview and Print Draft, that have crept in due to changes in the underlying
operating system software:
1) In Print Preview, the text can be five times its correct size, so that the text sprawls all over the page.
2) In Print Draft, the text may be too large, or it may be missing altogether.
Download WeaveMaker MI 8.5.0 [7-20-07]
Improves registration under the Vista operating system.
Download WeaveMaker MI 8.4.5 [5-19-07]
Changes how "reverse" (pressing the "r" key) works in the Macomber
loom driver. Up to this version, "r" reversed the direction of weaving
and moved the active pick to the last pick woven, which is correct. However,
the new lift pattern was not sent to the loom, giving a "dead pedal". Cycling
the loom fixed this, but advanced an additional pick, putting you one past the
point where you wanted to be. As of this version, the lift pattern is sent
immediately to the loom.
Download WeaveMaker MI 8.4.4 [2-20-06]
Fixes a crash in Wool Simulation when the number of ends or
picks per inch is small.
Download WeaveMaker MI 8.4.3 [12-17-05]
Experimental version, with a potential
work-around to a problem experienced by a user under Windows 2000.
Download WeaveMaker MI 8.4.2 [12-13-05]
Fixes two bugs, both in printing. When printing the drawdown in color,
only the weft colors showed up--the warp was always black. Also, the
count of pages shown in Print Preview was incorrect (often quite
dramatically). Fixed in this version.
Download WeaveMaker MI 8.4.1 [4-15-05]
Fixes a wonderfully obscure bug (how do people find these things?).
If you click on a repeat or action control in
the Tools window, you pop up a list of repeat options or actions.
While
running your mouse over these options, if you then received an instant
message or an e-mail arrived, the list of options would sometimes disappear (depending
upon your e-mail or messaging software and how you had it configured).
Fixed in this version.
Download WeaveMaker MI 8.4.0 [4-8-05]
Fixes a bug in which dragging a large number of replacement colors
into the Colorway window crashed the software. Fixes the incorrect
display of "Warp Threads" when you change the number of weft threads.
Download WeaveMaker MI 8.3.9 [3-11-05]
Fixes the problem of the not all the repeat options showing in the
Tools window (the bottom of the popup window was cut off, so the final
one or two options could not be seen).
Download WeaveMaker MI 8.3.8 [12-31-04]
(1) Fixes the problem of the threading being cleared when increasing
an existing design to 32 harnesses. (2) Fixes Browse crash. (3) Fixes the
problem of the printout not showing the entire design, when opening
a file created by the Pro version of WeaveMaker, in the MI version.
(4) Fixes the problem of the color chips not refreshing when editing
colors.
Download WeaveMaker MI 8.3.6 [11-14-04]
Fixes a problem with Algebraic Treadling.
When going into Algebraic Treadling, the expression that appeared
didn't correctly represent the existing treadling. Now, the
expression you see is correct for the existing treadling. Adds
DoWeave chain file creation (Pro version only), including stop motion.
Download WeaveMaker MI 8.3.5 [8-12-04]
Adds "Wool Simulation" to the print options when printing a fabric
swatch. Corrects a bug when printing in draft mode on Epson printers (output
is the wrong size). Fixes several annoying little bugs that arose when
printing repeatedly.
Download WeaveMaker MI 8.3.4 [5-15-04]
Corrects a bug introduced in 8.3.3 in which the Print Preview command
changes into Print.
Download WeaveMaker MI 8.3.3 [5-12-04]
Changes the way the fabric window is displayed. Prior to this version,
you only saw one repeat. Now, the design is repeated as needed to fill
the window. Fixes a bug in Grid Options which caused a crash when you
tried to change the ends and picks that are exported. Fixes a bug in
Export Grids in which the pegplan is exported whether or not you
selected it for exporting. Fixes a bug which causes a crash when
saving a file that has a large number of colors, colorways, and has
long color names and descriptions.
Download WeaveMaker MI 8.2.5 [9-26-03]
Fixes a mistake whereby "Show Fabric in 3-D" was accidently
omitted from "Pro" installations of version 8.2.4. Most people using
8.2.4 will have "Show Fabric in 3-D", and if so, don't need to
upgrade to this version.
Download WeaveMaker MI 8.2.4 [9-22-03]
Extends WIF support above 32 harnesses. For Dornier (DoWeave) chain files,
sets the filling density, speed, and warp tension to 1 rather than 0. This
permits the loom operator to see those parameters as desired, at the loom,
rather than locking them at 0.
Download WeaveMaker MI 8.2.2 [8-17-03]
Fixes an error in handling the "Multiple Treadles" option in the
Preferences, in which the setting isn't remembered properly when you
shut down the software. If you are having trouble setting multiple
treadles in the treadling, please upgrade to this version.
Download WeaveMaker MI 8.1.2 [5-14-03]
Fixes a bug that prevents some users from getting the 30-day demo. If
you have an earlier version and you can't register the software when you
type "Demo" in the name or key fields, switch to this version.
Adds support for the Louet Octado dobby loom, and has
changes in the Dobby Type menu to make it clearer that WeaveMaker also
handles the Magic (24 harness) and Megado (16/32 harness) looms from Louet.

Download WeaveMaker MI 7.95 [11-1-02]
Fixes a conflict between enabling dobby drivers for Dornier looms
and having AVL as the vendor of the software. Don't be too concerned
if this doesn't exactly make sense, or if you're wondering if this conflict
might be causing you problems. It isn't. It affected exactly one customer,
who has been notified to download this new version.
Download WeaveMaker MI 7.94 [7-22-02]
Fixes a crash that occurs in Windows XP if you click the "File" menu just after
launching WeaveMaker, while the splash screen is still visible.
Download WeaveMaker MI 7.93 [5-10-02]
Fixes a crash that occurs upon launch of 7.91 and 7.92 for
users who have the "One" key. The "Pro" keys are not affected.
Download WeaveMaker MI 7.92 [5-9-02]
7.92 has a new feature and a bug fix, both involving the dobby
loom drivers. New feature: in the Dobby menu there is a new entry
called "DobbyPick". Click on this to show the pick at which dobby
weaving will commence. You can also use this to change the starting
pick. Bug fixes: entering dobby mode when the design is being shown
in treadling now works correctly. WeaveMaker converts the design to
peg plan, on the fly, pick by pick, as you weave. The second fix
corrects an error when sending information to an AVL CompuDobby-III
that has more harnesses than appear within the design. For example,
if you have a 16 harness loom but only have 8 harnesses specified
in your design. In such a case, previous versions of the software
did not ensure that harnesses 9-16 remain inactive. The third fix
involves saving the dobby pick number when you save the design. In
previous versions, if the dobby pick number was 1 it got saved in
the design file as 256. So if you stopped weaving, saved your
design, later opened the design, and tried to resume weaving, you
would be on the wrong pick.
Download WeaveMaker MI 7.91 [5-8-02]
7.91 lets you save Print Options settings and later retrieve them.
For details, go to Print Options, click "Remember as..." and then click
"Tell Me More". Another new feature lets you lock the screen and printer colors together, so they
behave as a single color. This is useful if you have software on your
computer that makes screen colors and printer colors match exactly.
