- created a new class that holds all the Code Editor functionality and integrated as a Editor in FlatCAM, the location is in flatcamEditors folder
- remade all the functions for view_source, scripts and view_code to use the new TextEditor class; now all the Code Editor tabs are being kept alive, before only one could be in an open state
- added new settings in Edit -> Preferences -> Gerber for Gerber Units and Gerber Zeros to be used as defaults in case that those informations are missing from the Gerber file
- for Gerber object in Selected Tab added ability to chose a V-Shape tool and therefore control the isolation better by adjusting the cut width of the isolation in function of the cut depth, tip width of the tool and the tip angle of the tool
- added a new tool named Minimum Distance Tool who will calculate the minimum distance between two objects; key shortcut: SHIFT + M
- finished the Minimum Distance Tool in case of using it at the object level (not in Editors)
- made sure that if the big mouse cursor is selected, the utility geometry in Excellon Editor has a thicker line width (2 pixels now) so it is visible over the geometry of the mouse cursor
- if there are (x, y) coordinates in the clipboard, when launching the "Jump to" function, those coordinates will be preloaded in the Dialog box.
- when the combo SHIFT + LMB is executed there is no longer a deselection of objects
- when the "Jump to" function is called, the mouse cursor (if active) will be moved to the new position and the screen position labels will be updated accordingly
- changed the icon for Open Script and reused it for the Check Rules Tool
- added posibility of using a big mouse cursor or a small mouse cursor. The big mouse cursor is made from 2 infinite lines. This was implemented for both graphic engines
- added ability to change the cursor size when the small mouse cursor is selected in Preferences -> General
- added a 'Milling Type' radio button in Geometry Editor Preferences to contorl the type of geometry will be generated in the Geo Editor (for conventional milling or for the climb milling)
- added the functionality to allow climb/conventional milling selection for the geometry created in the Geometry Editor
- now any Geometry that is edited in Geometry editor will have coordinates ordered such that the resulting Gcode will allow the selected milling type in the 'Milling Type' radio button in Geometry Editor Preferences (which depends also of the spindle direction)
- some strings update
- French Google-translation at 100%
- German Google-translation update to 100%
- in legacy graphic engine, fixed issue where immediately after changing the mouse cursor snapping the mouse cursor shape was not updated
- in legacy graphic engine, fixed issue where while zooming the mouse cursor shape was not updated
- in legacy graphic engine, fixed issue where immediately after panning finished the mouse cursor shape was not updated
- fixed a color format bug in Tool Move for 3D engine
- made sure that when the Tool Move is used on a Gerber file with mark shapes active, those mark shapes are deleted before the actual move
- fixed bug in display of the apertures marked in the Aperture table found in the Gerber Selected tab and through this made it to also work with the legacy graphic engine
- fixed annotation in Mark Area Tool in Gerber Editor to work in legacy graphic engine
- in legacy graphic engine fixed the travel vs cut lines in CNCJob objects
- final fix for key shortcuts with modifier in legacy graphic engine
- refactored some of the code in the legacy graphic engine
- legacy graphic engine - made the key events work (simple or with modifiers)
- legacy graphic engine - made the mouse cursor work (enabled/disabled, position report); snapping is not moving the cursor yet
- added some fixes in the the file extension detection
- added some status messages for the Tcl script related methods
- made sure that optionally, when a script is run then it is also loaded into the code editor
- added control over the display of Sys Tray Icon in Edit -> Preferences -> General -> GUI Settings -> Sys Tray Icon checkbox
- added a new entry in Menu -> View -> Redraw All which is doing what the name says: redraw all loaded objects
- fixed issue where in TCl Shell the Windows paths were not understood due of backslash symbol understood as escape symbol instead of path separator
- made sure that in for the TclCommand cncjob and for the drillcncjob if one of the args is stated but no value then the value used will be the default one
- made available the TSA algorithm for drill path optimization when the used OS is 64bit. When used OS is 32bit the only available algorithm is TSA
- added a new splash image
- added a control in Preferences -> General -> GUI Settings -> Splash Screen that control if the splash screen is shown at startup
- fixed Panelize Tool to save the aperture geometries into the panel apertures. Also made the tool faster by removing the buffering at the end of the job
- modified FlatCAMEditor's files to the new string format that will allow easier translations
- updated POT file and the Romanian translation
- some fixes in Gerber isolation in case that the progressive plotting is selected; added a 'Buffer solid geometry' button shown only when progressive plotting for Gerber object is selected. It will buffer the entire geometry of the object and plot it, in a threaded way.
- in NCC tool added possibility to choose between the type of tools to be used and when V-shape is used then the tool diameter is calculated from the desired depth of cut and from the V-tip parameters
- in NCC tool the type of tool that is used is transferred to the Geometry object
- in NCC tool the type of isolation done with the tools selected as isolation tools can now be selected and it has also an Edit -> Preferences entry
- fixed issue in NCC Tool where the tool table context menu could be installed multiple times
- added new ability to create simple isolation's in the NCC Tool
- modified NCC tool so for simple objects (single Polygon) the external object used as reference can have any shape, for the other types of objects the copper cleared area will be the convex hull of the reference object
- modified the strings of the app wherever they contained the char seq <b> </b> so it is not included in the translated string
- finished the Slot Array tool in Excellon Editor
- added the key shortcut handlers for Add Slot and Add Slot Array tools in Excellon Editor
- started to work on the Resize tool for the case of Excellon slots in Excellon Editor
- added protection's against the 'bowtie' geometries for Subtract Tool in Geometry Editor
- added all the tool from Geometry Editor to the the contextual menu
- fixed bug in Add Text Tool in Geometry Editor that gave error when clicking to place text without having text in the box
- if 'combine' is checked in Gerber isolation but there is only one pass, the resulting geometry will still be single geo
- the 'passes' entry was changed to a IntSpinner so it will allow passes to be entered only in range (1, 999) - it will not allow entry of 0 which may create some issues
- fixed bug that did not asked the user to save the preferences after importing a new set of preferences, after the user is trying to close the Preferences tab window
- created a new menu entry in the File menu named Recent projects that will hold the recent projects and the previous "Recent files" will hold only the previous loaded files
- some changes in the widgets used in the Selected tab for Geometry object
- some PEP8 cleanup in FlatCAMObj.py
- updated languages
- 60% progress in Spanish Google translation
- added a new tool in Gerber Editor: Mark Area Tool. It will mark the polygons in a edited Gerber object with areas within a defined range, allowing to delete some of the not necessary copper features
- added new menu links in the Gerber Editor menu for Eraser Tool and Mark Area Tool
- added key shortcuts for Eraser Tool (CTRL+E) and Mark Area Tool (ALT+A) and updated the shortcuts list
- added the possibility for multiple tool diameters in the Edit -> Preferences -> Geometry -> Geometry General -> Tool dia separated by comma
- fixed scaling for the multiple tool diameters in Edit -> Preferences -> Geometry -> Geometry General -> Tool dia, for NCC tools more than 2 and for Solderpaste nozzles more than 2
- fixed bug in CNCJob where the CNC Tools table will show always only 2 decimals for Tool diameters regardless of the current measuring units
- made the tools diameters decimals in case of INCH FlatCAM units to be 4 instead of 3
- fixed bug in updating Grid values whenever toggling the FlatCAM units and the X, Y Grid values are linked, bugs which caused the Y value to be scaled incorrectly
- set the decimals for Grid values to be set to 6 if the units of FlatCAM is INCH and to set to 4 if FlatCAM units are METRIC
- updated translations
- updated the Russian translate from 51% complete to 69% complete using the Yandex translation engine
