LDPartEditor 0.8.7-beta

Changes:
With the release of 0.8.7 you are able to...

• ...benefit from a faster program start.
• ...toggle the visibility of conditional line control points.
• ...drag&drop files on the 3D editor view.
• ...drag&drop files on the text editor view.
• ...use the new "modern" GUI layout on a fresh installation.
• ...activate anti-aliasing on some linux systems with MESA/Gallium. (on Windows, for AMD/NVIDIA cards, you have to enable it manually, with AMD Catalyst or the NVIDIA Control Panel)

The following critical issues are fixed:

1. Risk of data loss: When you open a file again (which was unsaved in LDPE) the file in the 3D view gets cleared.
2. "Show selection in text editor" did not work correctly for subfiles, if the text editor was closed before.
3. "Open Part File" from the 3D editor opens a text editor window, too.
4. Identical lines are not detected if they have different colours.
5. CSG does not work with invalid colour numbers.
6. "Unselect" (Ctrl+Click) does not work for subfiles.
7. Subfile selection issues with adjacent subfiles.
8. The coarse/medium/fine grid buttons don't stay pushed.

LDPartEditor 0.8.6-beta

Changes:
With the release of 0.8.6 you are able to...

• ...customise the layout of the 3D editor toolbars by placing one of the "layout_3D_editor.cfg" files in the application folder. You find different layouts in the attached archive "layouts.zip".
• ...zoom in/out on the primitive area with two new buttons (-) and (+) (instead of using Ctrl+Mousewheel)
• ...use "Cut, Copy, Paste, Delete" in the right-click contextual menu from the text and 3D editor
• ...browse in the last visited folder if you open a file dialog again.
• ...select something and move it into a subfile (with a click on the old "Add Subfile" button), supports cut and copy :)
• ...draw to the cursor position from the text editor (there is a button on the 3D editor, to enable this behaviour).
• ...use two new buttons ("Save Part" and "Save Part As...") in the 3D editor.
• ...use a new "Switch BFC" button in the text editor.
• ...reset the snapping/grid values to the default value with a right click on the corresponding "coarse", "middle" or "fine" button.

The following critical issues are fixed:

1. Creating a new *.dat (Text Editor) did not rebuild the hints/warning/errors tree.
2. Java heap space problems on 32bit machines
3. "Merge / Split => Transform / Rotate / Scale" was able to break the 3D model triangulation.
4. "Merge/Split => Rotate Selection" did not rotate around Z axis
5. "Open *.dat File" did not rebuilt the text editor tab, if the same file was saved before.
6. Copy->Paste->Mirror, mirrored the initial copy.
7. The hide/show state was deleted on undo/redo.
8. "Save as..." did not update the <0 Name:> (and type) entry accordingly.
9. The "Select Touching" implementation was not correct. It selected too much.
10. Focus issues: A click on a button in the 3D editor removed the focus from the 3D view
11. A small memory leak (<1KB)

LDPartEditor 0.8.5-beta

Changes:
With the release of 0.8.5 you are able to...

• ...use up to 9 decimal places for rounding (coordinates + matrix).
• ...open the part in the 3D editor from the text editor window (orange "3D" button)
• ...benefit from a new "how-to-use" description for the SlicerPro2 tool.
• ...use "save as..." to store files under a new filename (text editor only)
• ...use a button for single vertex manipulation ("SyncEdit") in the text editor.

The following critical issues are fixed:

1. Rectifier created rect#.dat primitives when "Split" and "Slicerpro" were used.
2. The internal Rectifier created rect-prims that were scaled in three dimensions.
3. Fixed an issue which was related to the parsing of the !HISTORY meta command
4. Fixed a null pointer issue with "Add Quad" and other "Add..." functions.
5. Fixed incorrect cursor movement when single vertex manipulation was active.
6. Fixed a GUI access issue, which occured on drag&drop with text editor tabs.
7. Fixed a random null pointer issue, which could disable the tab from the text editor window when more than one tab was opened.
8. In some rare cases when a flat subfile was scaled in X/Y or Z and the transformation matrix contained more than one space as seperator between the values, the corresponding "Quick Fix" was not able fix the scaling.

LDPartEditor 0.8.4c-beta

Changes:
With the release of 0.8.4c the following issues are fixed:

1. Fixed a critical bug within the primitive sorting algorithm (crash on start!)
2. Fixed a bug which disabled the possibility to split a condline.
3. Fixed a bug which could trigger a exception when the "Single Vertex Manipulation" (aka 'SyncEdit') was active
4. Fixed a bug for "Merge to nearest line" / "TJunctionFinder". They did not ignore control point lines from condlines.
5. Leading spaces from file header stopped the header validation.
6. It was possible to modify read-only files with the functions from the "Selection:" tab.

LDPartEditor 0.8.4b-beta

Changes:

LDPartEditor 0.8.4-beta

Changes:
With the release of 0.8.4 you are able to...

1. ...use the new "MeshReducer" tool, to simplify generated CSG meshes.
2. ...use a more "aggressive" T-junction-finder (can destroy the mesh geometry under some circumstances!)
3. ...use the "Move on Line" function, to move a vertex on a line between two vertices (beta)

LDPartEditor 0.8.3c-beta

Changes:
With the release of 0.8.3c the following issues are fixed:

1. An infinite loop, which could occur when "Single Vertex Replace Mode" was active ("SyncEdit")
2. The Isecalc tool did not generate all intersection lines
3. "Synchronise Folders..." did not work properly
4. Undo/Redo triggered an infinite loop.

LDPartEditor 0.8.3b-beta
