Attached is the latest revision to the Dynamica toolset - to be included in the next release. Be sure you are running the latest version of Dynamica (v2.77) and extract the .zip into the Dynamica install directory to patch existing files. The updated files include:
/doc/index.html
/doc/images/ <- added dir
/icons/dynamica.xpm
/scripts/dynamicaUI.mel
This should be compatible with all supported versions of Maya. I tested under winXP32 with Maya 2010 and everything works fine.
I am including this here because I will be updating the wiki over the next couple days with the latest info about the new features.
Bake Post Processing Option: Optimize Channels. This option can dramatically reduce the time required to bake large simulations. It also reduces extraneous bake data, processing overhead, and resulting file size (by as much as 50%).
Optimizations:
Reordered static channel deletion and key transfer for Bake procedure to increase bake speed.
Wiki updated with Maya 2011 screenshots and description of Optimize Channels feature.

Thanks for the contributions. I added a few words in the first line of the wiki page to clarify that Dynamica is a plugin for Maya, to avoid confusion. We should add the same to the manual.
Also, it would be good to add a basic installation instructions for Windows, Mac and Linux.
Windows has an installer. After installing, the user has to enable the plugin etc.
The wiki manual for Dynamica is getting very large, probably better to split it into a few separate pages, and keep the first page simple. If I find some time, I can help organizing it a bit.
Let me know if/when we can prepare a new release.
Thanks,
Erwin

Great work, thanks Michael. It looks like it is about time to prepare for a new Dynamica release.
What platforms and Maya versions have you tested the current Dynamica trunk so far?
Did people test Windows 32bit, 64bit, Linux, Mac OSX? Maya 2011, 2009, 2008 etc?
