Hello, eveybody. The Mail Delivety System failed on me, and though I sent this message last week, it didn't arrive. So maybe you've seen the new Archimedes already. Still I'm trying to send the message again. Hope it works this time. Follows the original message in full text: So here is Archimedes 0.14.0 ! It has some features more that 0.13.2, but I'll give an overview of everything included since 0.12.*, just to remind you =) So first from release 0.13.2, we have: ** Quite a few additions to the tool bar. It's really cool now, although the buttons are not disabled when a command is active. But it all works fine. ** The command "area" calculates the area and perimeter of a region defined by points. ** The Stretch command and shortcut. So now it's possible to move just some points of the elements, changing their shape. Try it out =) ** During a trim command, it is now possible to select the elements to be cut by fencing, that is, with regular selection. So trimming becomes a lot faster. Since 0.12.0, even more things have changed: * A few shortcuts (which I'm not sure were ever mentioned): Ctrl+Z for undo, Ctrl+Y for redo, Del for erase. Also any number 0.5 may be typed as just .5 * Text creation works with size. * The commands Rotate and Scale are now available. * The poliline offset is now fully operational, and hopefully we won't be seeing it again for quite some time. * Some commands have become multis (meaning they don't ever really end): line, fillet, copy-paste. * For every multi command, plus polyline and area, it is possible to undo the last previous step. (See related trim bug below). As for bugs, a few of them were fixed: * Exporting jpg and bmp images now works. * The zoom by mouse wheel was completely corrected. * We fixed a bug on the file reader, which wasn't wotking for some cases. * We fixed a bug in the trim command, which was with quite an erratic behaviour. Enjoy the release! -- Mariana Bravo msn: ma...@gm... |
