NOTE: ALWAYS CREATE A BACKUP COPY OF .MTS FILES BEFORE OPTIMIZING THEM WITH THIS 
APPLICATION.

New in version 2.5:

1) Resourse names contained in MTS files are now correctly preserved.
2) The new tooltip in the Image Viewer displays image resourse names and other image information.
3) Alpha maps are preserved in the optimization path but do not appear visible in the Image Viewer.
4) Stream Tunining Studio can be run from command line.
5) MTS files containing morth targets are can now be correctly optimized.

Known Issues:

1) The scene consisting of several objects might seem to "fall apart" in the MTS view. 
This is NORMAL behavior since the scene is assembled together by the MTX code. After 
optimizing the MTX scene will still be correctly assembled. See User Manual for 
more details.

2) Regardless of the geometry quality value set in Viewpoint Scene Builder, Stream 
Tuning Studio's Set Geometry Quality tool has a default setting of 10 bits. This 
setting is usually optimal. If you want to retain a higher setting from Scene Builder, 
you must manually change the default in Stream Tuning Studio.

3) Optimizing Poser models with Stream Tuning Studio is not recommended.
