Redbug Technologies has released , a free Mapwing upgrade that offers enhancements and bug fixes. Mapwing is an application for building, sharing, and exploring virtual reality (VR) tours.

Mapwing's Flash Viewer is a server-side Flash/PHP application used to embed Mapwing tours into web pages and create streaming Mapwing tours. The free upgrade includes improved image and hotspot performance, new circular-styled points, an enhanced undo system, numerous bug fixes, and Mapwing Viewer has been upgraded to version 1.1.4. Mapwing Creator Pro 1.1, a free upgrade for registered users, is available for $300 license and runs on Mac OS X 10.2.8.
