From last release
- Added a completely new rendering pipeline for pan and zoom animations. All your lagging/stuttering issues should be fixed now. FlyPhotos can now render at your monitor's maximum refresh rate and has been tested up to 144 FPS, resulting in an incredibly fluid, buttery-smooth experience. This is the biggest rendering rewrite since launch. (#153).

v2.5.21 Sleeker, faster, and more fluid [Preview in store]
❤️ You can support FlyPhotos by sponsoring or by downloading from Microsoft Store
Version 2.5.21 will be available in the Store only for some time. Please allow a couple of weeks for the MSI release.
This update moves FlyPhotos to Windows App SDK 2.0, and many of the supporting DLLs have changed. I need some time to clean up unnecessary dependencies and test the installer before releasing the MSI version. I've also spent the last few weeks rewriting large parts of FlyPhotos' rendering pipeline to support your GPU and monitor's maximum refresh rate, so I'm taking a short breather before completing the MSI packaging work.
Thank you for your patience!
