Please download and test Beta 2 of Krakatoa v1.5.2.

Contrary to previous announcements, this build does not contain just bug fixes and script updates but also some significant improvements and new features, including a new KrakatoaParticleIStream MAXScript value and a Particle Data Viewer based off it; enhanced memory management control resulting in orders of magnitude faster particle acquisition from PRT Volume objects (91 times faster creation of 100 Million particles!), some new MagmaFlow operators including Logarithm and ATan2 and more.

Please check out the detailed list of Beta 2 bug fixes and new features here:

Please note that Prime Focus Winnipeg will be closed for a long weekend as February 15th is a provincial holiday. Thus we will not be able to address bugs before Tuesday. If this build does not work for you, please revert to Beta 1 or the release v1.5.1.

Just discovered that the startup script was not updated in the installer and so the Particle Viewer does not get initialized on startup.
This also causes the Krakatoa menu not to be evaluated and initialized.

Sorry for this oversight, this should be fixed in the next build.
