2.4 (23 July 2008)

• Significant performance and memory use improvements during recording, especially on multicore/multiprocessor machines
• Audio/video/mouse will now all remain in synch regardless of how busy your computer may be during the recording. Note: the format of .smb archive files had to change to make this fix, so .smb files are not compatible between 2.3 and 2.4. You may wish to finish work-in-progress on 2.3-based screencasts before upgrading. You may also download a copy of 2.3 here to continue to use in parallel if necessary.
