Hi Subsimmers,

A new version of the Enigma simulator is just uploaded to my website. This update incorporates several new features. Since the Mayas predict the end of the world in 2012, I have asked Santa Claus to deliver this litttle gizmo today in your sock, so that you can enjoy the sims before we go with a big bang next year :-) And the best of all, it's free!

What's new in this version? There's a major graphical revision with a front cover for each of the different Enigma models (Heer & Luftwaffe, Kriegsmarine M3 and Kriegsmarine M4). There are now two types of rotors (with letters or with numbers) and the plugboard is revised, with a different layouts for the various models. The plugboard layout order is also changeable. The individual plugs are now visible on top view. A new photo gallery is added, with new images that I shot from various Enigma machines. The new sound effects are recorded from a real enigma machine, there's a sound on/off option and the Auto Typing function is improved. Finally, the help file is re-written and expanded. I hope these are enough reasons to go see what Santa brought to you! Spread the word!
