iStopMotion 1.5b7 is now available. To participate in the beta test program, download the software and get a beta license key. (All current beta license keys are about to expire.) Most important new feature is the still camera assistant that determines which features can be used with your digital still camera. A number of bug fixes make this beta the best yet. Thanks to everyone who reported issues!

John Mollison's son Wily directed and created a short film called "The guy who fell over and gonked his head" at the age of five. Funny movie even if the name is almost longer than the movie. John writes: "Your software was to credit in keeping him interested and involved. He's now 7 and shows great interest in stop-action films."
