- replaced in FlatCAM Tools and in FLatCAMObj.py and in Editors all references to hardcoded decimals in string formats for tools with a variable declared in the __init__()
- 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%
- 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
- added a new TclCommand named set_origin which will set the origin for all loaded objects to zero if the -auto True argument is used and to a certain x,y location if the format is: set_origin 5,7
- 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
- fixed UI showing before the initialization of FlatCAM is finished when the last state of GUI was maximized
- finished updating the TclCommand cncjob to work for multi-geo Geometry objects with the parameters from the args
- fixed the TclCommandCncjob to work for multigeometry Geometry objects; still I had to fix the list of tools parameter, right now I am setting it to an empty list
- 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.
- fixed issue with generating bounding box geometry for CNCJob objects
- added some more infobar messages and log.debug
- increased the priority for the worker tasks
- 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
- fixed crash due of Properties Tool trying to have a convex hull area on FlatCAMCNCJob objects which is not possible due of their nature
- modified Tcl Command SubtractRectangle
- fixed and modernized the Tcl Command Scale to be able to scale on X axis or on Y axis or on both and having as scale reference either the (0, 0) point or the minimum point of the bounding box or the center of the bounding box.
- fixed and modernized the Tcl Command Skew
- fixed bug in FlatCAM editors that caused the shapes to be drawn without resolution when the app units where INCH
- modified the transformation functions in all classes in camlib.py and FlatCAMObj.py to work with empty geometries
- 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
- 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()
