Release 0.4.1 is now out!
This update focuses mostly on the drawing tools, bug fixes, and better crash handling to make it less likely work is lost.
The windows version now has an installer that sets up the correct file associations. On Mac it is a simple .dmg with the app folder inside as I haven't yet figured out how to make a fancy one. Let me know if there are any issues.
Download it from your Humble page, or your page on pyxeledit.com.

Comments
When I download the latest version I get an installer while for the 0.4.0 I was able to download a standalone program. Is there a standalone version, no install, for the 0.4.1?
Thanks in advance
However, I'm downloading the new version from the Humble Store and I get only a Download button link with the installer. Is there another way to download it that I'm surely missing?
Thanks again.
Yes, it is misleading, especially if don't remember it.
Cheers.
Thank You very much for the update.
Thanks a lot !
