- Added: Tab or cursor movement order for fractions and arrow templates that have two slots vertically, can now be adjustable between Western order and Eastern-Asian options in the Preferences -> Misc. dialog now.
- Added: Minimum line gap fields are added to Define Spacing dialog -> Line Spacing pane. If the minimum value is 0(zero), it allows line overlap which is minus value.
- Added: Drag&Drop of MathMagic equation or Text from other applications to MathMagic editor window is now supported.
- Added: "Rotate Fence alignment", "Rotate Root alignment" are added to the Format menu so that user can change the alignment easily without opening a dialog.
- Changed: Each new version comes with additional 5 times of trial period even though the previous trial was over.
- Changed: Maximum Undo/Redo count is increased up to 50, while the default value is still remaining as 10.
- Changed: supports additional graceful trial count for each new version so that user can try the latest version a little more all the time.
- Fixed: When saving as EPS(Black or Color), the PICT preview did not include the baseline information and bounding margins.
- Fixed: Magic control key did not display the shortcut key tool tip on the pull-down menus of Template or Symbol on Mac OS X 10.3(Panther).
- Fixed: The left nose end of Root or Square Root template drawing was too small when the line thickness was thicker.
- Fixed: Fraction is in subscript or superscript position as a Script size, the thickness of horizontal line is that of Full size and too thick.
- Fixed: Upper accent was not properly positioned when the base character style is Italic. It should be moved to right side a little more to be in the center.
- Fixed: Opening or Saving InDesign document that contains big EPS graphics causes serious performance drop or crash.
