Indigo Rose Software announces the immediate availability of AutoPlay Media Studio 9.1, their visual-based drag and drop development tool for creating custom software applications for Windows. Since launching in 1997, AutoPlay Media Studio has been used by tens of thousands of developers worldwide to design millions of autorun menus, interactive presentations, utility programs and other multimedia applications. Important additions to the latest version include an upgraded core scripting engine, support for the latest hardware token code signing security requirements, and other performance-enhancing features.
AutoPlay Media Studio 9 has upgraded its core scripting engine to Lua 5.3.6 bringing new performance, security and usability features to the development environment. Coders can now incorporate metamethods, bitwise operations, functions for packing and unpacking values and more into their product designs.
“The upgraded Lua scripting engine really enhances what developers can do with AutoPlay,” says Indigo Rose Software President Colin Adams. “You have tons of new tools and addons to draw on which ultimately create a smoother experience for developers – and their customers.”
The new release of the software provides full Windows 11 compatibility as well as support for legacy systems including Windows 10, Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista and even Windows XP. It also fully supports code signing using certificates stored on secure hardware tokens – a critical new security requirement – plus the inclusion of a Microsoft Edge Webview2 browser object, ODBC actions, WOW64 actions, Lua 5.3 modules, a new SDK v3 system and many other additions.
As with past versions of AutoPlay, the visual design environment allows even non-coders to create sophisticated applications. The program offers a library of actions that can be easily dragged and dropped into a project to easily build up functionality. Basic screen controls as well as advanced operating system commands can be added to applications with a few mouse clicks.
AutoPlay Media Studio also includes editable templates for a variety of project types, an extensive multimedia content gallery, and customizable toolbars allowing developers to layout application interfaces to their exact specifications. Tools for full design customization such as an eyedropper color picker, alignment tools, grid and ruler and more are also available.
AutoPlay Media Studio 9 sells for $295 (US$) per developer or $795 for the Five Developer Team Pack. It can be purchased through all major software development tools resellers, or directly from Indigo Rose Software at https://www.indigorose.com. A free 30-day trial download is available from the company’s website.
