This release fixes many major bugs in RC2 and improves the usability of Sikuli IDE and the consistency of Sikuli's Java and Jython API. A new feature in Sikuli Script allows users to register global hot keys that trigger user-defined functions.

All Sikuli and Sikuli X users are recommended to upgrade to this version.
