- finished support for internationalization by adding a set of .po/.mo files for the English language. Unfortunately the final action can be done only when Beta will be out of Beta (no more changes) or when I will decide to stop working on this app.
- changed the tooltip for 'feedrate_rapids' parameter to point out that this parameter is useful only for the Marlin postprocessor
- more work on the translation engine; the app now restarts after a language is applied
- added protection against using Travel Z parameter with negative or zero value (in Geometry).
- finished Manual Cutout Tool by adding utility geometry to the cutting geometry
- added CTRL + click behavior for adding manual bridge gaps in Cutout Tool
- in Tool Cutout added shortcut key 'Escape' to cancel the current adding of bridge gaps
- ~~after an object move, the apertures plotted shapes are deleted from canvas and the 'mark all' button is deselected~~
- after move tool action or any other transform (rotate, skew, scale, mirror, offset), the plotted apertures are kept plotted.
- changing units now will convert all the default values from one unit type to another
- prettified the selection shape and the moving shape
- initial work in object hovering shape
- enhanced the toggle effect for the tools in the Tools Toolbar and also for Notebook Tab selection: if the current tool is activated it will toggle the notebook side but only if the installed widget is itself. If coming from another tool, the notebook will stay visible
- fixed FlatCAMGerber.merge() to merge the self.apertures[ap]['solid_geometry'] too
- started to work on a new feature that allow adding a ToolChange GCode macro - GUI added both in CNCJob Selected tab and in CNCJob Preferences
- added a limited 'sort-of' Gerber Editor: it allows buffering and scaling of apertures
- added the ability to open FlatConfig configuration files in COde Editor, Modify them and then save them.
- added ability to double click the FlatConfig files and open them in the FlatCAM Code Editor (to be verified)
- remade the UI for ToolSolderPaste. The object comboboxes now have context menu's that allow object deletion. Also the last object created is set as current item in comboboxes.
- removed "added ability to regenerate objects (it's actually deletion followed by recreation)" because of the way Python pass parameters to functions by reference instead of copy
- made the GCode Editor for ToolSolderPaste clear the text before updating the Code Editor tab
- all the Tabs in Plot Area are closed (except Plot Area itself) on New Project creation
- changed the shortcut key for YouTube channel from F2 to key F4
- changed the way APP LEVEL is showed both in Edit -> Preferences -> General tab and in each Selected Tab. Changed the ToolTips content for this.
- added the functions for GCode View and GCode Save in Tool SolderPaste
- finished the UI, created the postprocessor file template
- finished the multi-tool solder paste dispensing: it will start using the biggest nozzle, fill the pads it can, and then go to the next smaller nozzle until there are no pads without solder.
