## 2 What’s new in Msc-generator 8.5 ¶

The improvements added since version 8.4 are listed below. If you are new to Msc-generator, you should probably jump to Getting started.

- [win] Added the ability to work with alt-text embedded charts to the MFC GUI.
- [win] Added Auto Save and Instant compilation options to the MFC GUI. Selecting them will save the chart and/or automatically compile it after every change.
- [mac] Fixed alt-text embedding (clipboard stopped working). This was due to the use of APIs deprecated in MacOS 10.11 (Big Sur). Now this is the minimum version required for Msc-generator to run on the Mac.
- A 40% speedup of the underlying contour library.
- [block] fix: Expand/Collapse for unnamed blocks.
- [gui] Added the –fps option to control the refresh rate on the Linux and the Mac.
- [gui] Better File Open/Save dialogs (coloring works, show hidden files checkbox)
- [graph, gui] URLs in labels are now clickable
