[Bprocessor-announce] Milestone 1 released

[Jesper P. <jes...@al...>]

Hi.

The milestone 1 release of BProcessor has been uploaded to 
SourceForge.net:

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=141333&package_id=155077

Changelog:
----------
 General:
 - Added support for the PostgreSQL database; copy JDBC driver to 
   library directory to enable
 - All object types can be selected.

 Model:
 - Added support for inner surfaces (holes)
 - Create a construction space when a surface is extruded

 GUI:
 - Show object relationships in space treeview

 GL:
 - Enabled drawing/moving/extrusion in 3D mode
 - Added different rendering modes
   (WIREFRAME, SOLID and LIGHTING/w.o. shadows)
 - Added a textfield showing the length/distance of lines, movement and
   extrusions
 - If a number is keyed in while using pencil tool, and 'Enter' is
   pressed afterwards,
   the active edge is changed accordingly and ended
 - 'Escape' now cancels drawing and moving
 - If a one-button mouse only are awailable CTRL + MOUSE1 begins rotation
 - If SHIFT is held down while selecting multiple objects can be selected
 - GL hiding tooltip fixed on LINUX but not MAC

 Known bugs:
 - The GL stops responding if SOLID rendering mode is chosen with F6, until
   the view is clicked a couple of times with the mouse
 - Some concurrency problems with the database on multi-threaded machines
   Set "notification.async=0" in bprocessor.properties as a work-around
 - If many objects are selected during rotation the program seems slow

See the README file in the archive for requirements and how to start the 
program.

Have fun!
