- changed the way a new FlatCAMScript object is made, the method that is processing the Tcl commands when the Run button is clicked is moved to the FlatCAMObj.FlatCAMScript() class
- reused the Multiprocessing Pool declared in the App for the ToolRulesCheck() class
- adapted the Project context menu for the new types of FLatCAM objects
- modified the setup_recent_files to accommodate the new FlatCAM objects
- made sure that when an FlatCAM script object is deleted, it's associated Tab is closed
- added folder for the Russian translation
- made sure that visibility for TextGroup is set only if index is not None in VisPyVisuals.TextGroup.visible() setter
- RELEASE 8.918
- 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
- made again plot functions threaded but moved the dataChanged signal (update_view() ) to the main thread by using an already existing signal (plots_updated signal) to avoid the errors with register QVector
- made ObjectCOllection.TreeItem() inherit KeySensitiveListVIew and implicitly QTreeView (in the hope that the theme applied on app will be applied on the tree items, too (for MacOs new DarkUI theme)
- 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).
- 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
- New feature: added the capability to view the source code of the Gerber/Excellon file that was loaded into the app. The file is also stored as an object attribute for later use. THe view option is in the project context menu and in Menu -> Options -> View Source
- 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
