0.3.2 (4/30/96)

- Frame size optimization
- PICT objects can be dragged into the Frames window from the Scrapbook or other applications
- Support for output depth of 3, 5, 6 and 7
- Fixed French dictionary (apostrophe removed)
- "White" transparency was set to the first color of the palette, which wasn't always white; fixed

- Disk copies of frames weren't used to build animations; fixed
- When an error occured when importing a frame, the list of frames was left in an invalid state; fixed
- When new images were imported, frames were sometimes mixed; fixed
- When a QuickTime movie was opened from the Finder and saved as a GIF with Save, the QuickTime file was overwritten; fixed

- New kept the previous Image Size; fixed
- It's now possible to interrupt the loading and saving of animations with Command-.
- Check against out-of-bounds frames
- The system palette was used instead of the optimized one; fixed
- When an error occured during the loading of an animation, the Frames window wasn't always updated, leaving ghost frames; fixed
- Spinning cursor

- Double-click in the Frames window to change settings
- Support for limited number of loops
- "Special" Clear (Shift-Clear or Shift-Backspace) to delete the selected frames while preserving the timing
- Open; animations get GifBuilder's signature instead of clip2gif's (and thus get a new icon), so that a double-click open them in GifBuilder
- French AppleScript dictionnary (the very beginning of the French translation of my programs; shame on me for having waited sooo long (btw, mes amis francophones prÄfÅrent-ils des versions traduites ou des amÄliorations plus rapides? re->mailto:piguet@ia.epfl.ch))

- The animation size isn't saved in the preferences anymore, because it caused confusion
- The maximum number of frames now depends only on the available memory
- The "colors palette" argument has been replaced by a "color table" to be more consistent with the official registry (event code 'cplt' instead of 'cPlt')
- The delay dialog box displays the interframe delay of the selected frame(s)
- Cropping of the frames outside the animation bounding box fixed
- Display of the Y position in the position dialog when all the selected frames have the same value fixed
