ThumbsPlus 4.10 Release Notes
=============================
2 March 2000

Known Issues:

Because this version of ThumbsPlus uses ActiveMovie for viewing movies and animation, FLI and FLC files cannot be viewed. We do plan to fix this in a subsequent release. If you require FLI and FLC support, please continue to use version 4.02 instead.
