mayim84:
Hey Raxx, do you know if Steve has implemented GL shaders into Anim8or, or is he still using Immediate mode?
Raxx:
mayim84, I don't know what precisely he's using at the moment, sorry! Your best bet is to email him and wait for his response (though currently it may be a long wait). I'm just Steve's little helper ;)
Is it imperative that you need to know?

Well, Immediate Mode, while supported, is deprecated from OpenGL. For good reason, though. Shaders allow for better performance. This can really help in rendering. Since Steve used to (or still does? Author page is a little dated) work for Nvidia, I would assume he would be up to date on that.
Also, I should probably put this on feature request (though its a little far-fetched). Is there a possibility of a cross-platform Anim8or (ie. Not using Wine on Linux). I'm sure there is plenty more for him to do before that becomes a possibility, but can't hurt to ask.
Raxx:
The only graphics-related technical stuff I know is that in this update he deprecated the front-window XOR drawing and instead redraws full double-buffered windows (part of the Win7 fix). Also, it seems that the "Use Shaders" feature in View->Preferences uses the DX9 library.
As for cross-platform, it doesn't seem to be on his list of priorities.

this could be of help to someone
windows 7 64 bit
I downloaded MSVCR110.DLL
still didn't work, have no idea where that MSVCR110.DLL ended up
searched for it and found I already had a copy in another software directory
which came with some recent software )Dogwaffle)
so on a hunch I copied that into the directory where anim8or beta was
worked like a charm
previous to this beta anim8or wasn't working on my windows 7
