This includes all files in a single .rar file, plus vertex storm (formally particle storm) gallery samples, behaviour samples and all plugs and core dlls.

Here is a list of changes:
V1.30 is basically a cumulative release taking all the changes to the core and plugs from V1.22 and removing all the new UI elements.
This means the UI is back to it's non-grey colour and the new effect/tag system has also been removed.
The reason for these changes is due to the core VJO app not being able to support the new UI changes.
