- in Excellon UI removed the tools table column for Offset Z and used the UI form parameter
- updated the Excellon Editor to add for each tool a 'data' dictionary
- updated all FlatCAM tools to use the new confirmation message that show if the entered value is within range or outside
- when the Tool tab is in focus, clicking on canvas will no longer change the focus to Project tab
- Copper Thieving Tool - when creating the pattern platting mask will make a new Gerber object with it
- 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
- solved issue #292 where a new geometry renamed with many underscores failed to store the name in a saved project
- the name for the saved projects are updated to the current time and not to the time of the app startup
- some PEP8 changes related to comments starting with only one '#' symbol
- remade the POT translate file
- work in progress in translation for Romanian language 44%
- fix for showing tools by activating them from the Menu - final fix.
- fixed some forgotten strings to be prepared for internationalization in ToolCalculators
- fixed Tools menu no longer working due of changes
- added some test translation for the ToolCalculators (in Romanian)
- fixed bug in ToolCutOut where for each tool invocation the signals were reconnected
- 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).
- 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 bug in paint function in Geometry Editor that didn't allow painting due of overlap value
- added protections again wrong values for the Buffer and Paint Tool in Geometry Editor
- the Paint Tool in Geometry Editor will load the default values from Tool Paint in Preferences
- when the Tools in Geometry Editor are activated, the notebook with the Tool Tab will be unhidden. After execution the notebook will hide again for the Buffer Tool.
- changed the font in Tool names
- added in Geometry Editor a new Tool: Transformation Tool. It still has some bugs, though ...
- fixed DblSided Tool so it correctly creates the Alignment Drills Excellon file using the new structure
- fixed DblSided Tool so it will not crash the app if the user tries to make a mirror using no coordinates
- added some relevant status bar messages in DblSided Tool
- fixed DblSided Tool to correctly use the Box object (until now it used as reference only Gerber object in spite of Excellon or Geometry objects being available)
- fixed DblSided Tool crash when trying to create Alignment Drills object without a Tool diameter specified
- whatever was the visibility of the corresponding toolbar when we enter in the Editor, it will be set after exit from the Editor (either Geometry Editor or Excellon Editor).
- added ability to be detached for the tabs in the Notebook section (Project, Selected and Tool)
- added ability for all detachable tabs to be restored to the same position from where they were detached.
- restored the way the tools autoloaded the objects in the comboboxes
- now the special messages in the Shell are color coded according to the level. Before they all were RED. Now the WARNINGS are yellow, ERRORS are red and SUCCESS is a dark green. Also the level is in CAPS LOCK to make them more obvious
- some more changes to GUI interface (solved issues)
- added some status bar messages in the Geometry Editor to guide the user when using the Geometry Tools
- now the '`' shortcut key that shows the 'shortcut key list' in Editors points to the same window which is created in a tab no longer as a pop-up window. This tab can be detached if needed.
