The majority of the changes in this release are Linux specific and relate to mouse wheel support and other aspects of the UI. There remain one or two unresolved issues with Linux but none seem to be fatal, just annoying.

This is the first release to contain an experimental stand-alone Linux executable. It was generated using pyinstaller on Ubuntu-18.04 and Python 3.6.9. The executable seems to be forward compatible with Ubuntu-20.04 but there are no guarantees at this experimental point. Extract the single run file (with included init and config files) from alice-desktop-1.3-ubuntu-18.04.tar.gz

These changes are generally transparent to Windows Users.

There are now two different Windows installers:
alice-desktop-1.3-setup.exe just installs ALICE for Windows (as in the past)
alice-desktop-1.3-libsmu-setup.exe installs ALICE for Windows and includes options to install 64 bit USB divers and 32 libsmu for ALICE (with optional 32 USB drivers).

The single download alice-desktop-1.3-libsmu-setup can be used to combine a couple of the first time installation steps. Once done future updates of just ALICE can use alice-desktop-1.3-setup.
