Invited technical alpha
Version 0.1.2 fixes the Windows Unicode failure at the end of long generations, restores the map-cell inspector, and serves the requested fixed-band annual rainfall map for both new and existing saved worlds. The updater now prevents installation during active generation and closes the old app service before future updates.
This prerelease is limited to invited testers who received a unique CartoVox beta key. The key is entered once on first launch and is verified offline; no account or internet connection is required.
Full generation is intentionally heavy and may take longer than expected. On the current high-end test machines, a Full world with its atlas takes about 20–25 minutes on macOS and 50–55 minutes on Windows. Hardware, world settings, and atlas size can increase or reduce that time. Use Preview or Quick mode while exploring settings, and leave CartoVox open until the progress log reports completion.
