- fixed bug that when isolating a Gerber file made out of a single polygon, an Recurrsion Exception was issued together with inability to create tbe isolation
- 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
- on toggling off the plot visibility the annotations are turned off too
- updated translations; Russian translation at 76% (using Yandex translator engine - needs verification by a native speaker of Russian)
- RELEASE 8.919
- fixed bug in Paint tool: now it is possible to paint geometry generated by External Isolation (or Internal isolation)
- fixed bug in editing a multigeo Geometry object if previously a tool was deleted
- 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
- fixed bug in cncjob TclCommand where the gcode could not be correctly generated due of missing bounds params in obj.options dict
- fixed a hardcoded tolerance in FlatCAMGeometry.generatecncjob() and in FlatCAMGeometry.mtool_gen_cncjob() to use the parameter from Preferences
- added a new parameter in Edit -> Preferences -> CNCJob named Annotation Size; it controls the size of the font used for annotations
- made visibility change threaded in FlatCAMObj()
- 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
- Gerber Editor - made sure that for some tools the added geometry is clean (the coordinates are non repeating)
- covered some possible issues in Gerber Export
- FlatCAM editors now are separated each in it's own file
- fixed TextTool in Geometry Editor so it will open the notebook on activation and close it after finishing text adding
- started to work on a Gerber Editor
- 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.
- 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).
- ~~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
- after an object move, the apertures plotted shapes are deleted from canvas and the mark all button is deselected
- fixed offset, rotate, scale, skew for follow_geometry. Fixed the move tool also.
- fixed offset, rotate, scale, skew for 'solid_geometry' inside the self.apertures.
- 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
- added some parameters throughout camlib gcode generation functions; handled some possible errors (e.g like when attempting to use an empty Custom GCode Toolchange)
- 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
- 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
