Contents
ad/area_volume_table
* NOT PUBLISHED
Rewrote the "Area & Volume" code to make very good use of the new multi-column feature in the table widget. The calculations can be made faster (for large meshes) by having a triangulator that does NOT beautify the triangles. Speed, however, is not very important.
ag/build_fixes
* NOT PUBLISHED
On some systems, makeself.sh is named makeself.sh and on some makeself, also they can reside in /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin, tried to catch all cases
There is no such directory as plugins/fonts, it wasn't removed from make_installer
Exact path shouldn't be assumed I think, on some OS install sits in /bin not /usr/bin
On 64 bit linux (at least my distro) fPIC is needed to build JPEG plugin.
bg/prefs-in-sub-directory
* NOT PUBLISHED
Unix: Put the preference file in a sub-directory
MacOS X: Put the preference file in a sub-directory
Support preferences in sub-directories for all platforms
wings_pref.erl: Removed unused WIN32_OLD_PREFS define
dgud/auv_shaders
* NOT PUBLISHED
NOTE: AutoUV: Added a simple world space normal shader.
rj/auv_circularise
* NOT PUBLISHED
NOTE: AutoUV: Added Edge|Circularise to AutoUV. [optigon]
rj/auv_seg_view
* NOT PUBLISHED
NOTE: AutoUV: Fix to ensure that Segmentation window opens with elements visible in viewport. [optigon]
rj/auv_xy_move
* NOT PUBLISHED
NOTE: AutoUV: Added Move Horizontal and Vertical. [optigon]
rj/bridge
* NOT PUBLISHED
NOTE: Face|Bridge has been extended to connect any two face regions regardless of how many faces or vertices they each have. [optigon]
rj/connect
* NOT PUBLISHED
NOTE: Minor changes to Tools|Connect to allow consecutive vertices to be placed on the same edge. [optigon]
rj/cycle_ssels
* NOT PUBLISHED
NOTE: Saved selection groups have been updated to allow Cycling via hotkey, and this feature can be set to cycle only within the current selection mode. I also added some selection group delection options. One option deletes all saved groups, and the other deletes only those groups that are corrupt. [optigon]
rj/drag
* NOT PUBLISHED
NOTE: I have changed the mouse buttons that perform secondary drag operations. For instance, Move|Free has an option to drag in the direction of the screen normal, and this option was bound to MMB. Now it is activated by holding LMB instead. Simiar changes were made to all the other tools that use a single secondary drag parameter. Also, introducing Hold LMB into the mix, allowed me to make Face|Sweep fully articulated between all four drag parameters (Extrude, Angle, Scale, and Rotation). [optigon]
rj/explode
* NOT PUBLISHED
NOTE: New Feature: Body|Explode scales objects from a defined center. Includes standard and user axes, uniform, and radial axis options. (Thanks to ggaliens for the idea) [optigon]
rj/menu_fixes
* NOT PUBLISHED
NOTE: Plugin Manager format fixes. [optigon]
rj/new_ui
* NOT PUBLISHED
NOTE: New interface features including: - A Menu Toolbar with icons for undo/redo, repeat last command, changing selection modes, and opening the Select or Tools menus can be switched on via Preferences|User Interface. - A new facility for saving and loading preferences from and into your current session, has been added to the File menu. These new preference subsets are appended with the .pref extension, and are saved separately from your 'master' Wings preference file. Additionally, both the Save and Load dialogs allow you to choose from catagories of preferences you'd like to load or save: hotkeys, graphical elements, etc. - New icons for the Outliner and Geometry Graph that allow you to use custom colors for how they look. These icons can be switched on in Preferences|User Interface. - Other minor changes include a new color scheme and some minor tweaks to the existing gui elements. Switch between the Classic Green theme and the new Dark Blue theme in File|Load Preferences. [optigon]
rj/nth_ring
* NOT PUBLISHED
NOTE: Added Select|Edge Loop|Select Nth Ring. [optigon]
rj/pan_speed
* NOT PUBLISHED
NOTE: The arrow key and scroll wheel pan speed preferences have been changed to offer a more useful range of adjustment. [optigon]
rj/planecut
* NOT PUBLISHED
NOTE: New Feature: Plane Cut for objects and face regions. [optigon]
rj/rollup4
* NOT PUBLISHED
NOTE: New Feature: Rollup any window by clicking on its titlebar. The main Geometry window behaves differently and doesn't rollup. Instead, it moves from the foreground to the background, either covering or revealing any coexisting windows. [optigon]
rj/sharp
* NOT PUBLISHED
NOTE: Select|By|Sharp Edges now allows you to specify Peaks, Valleys, or Both. [optigon]
rj/snap_image
* NOT PUBLISHED
NOTE: In the Tools menu, Snap Image and Screenshot have been extended in several useful ways. It is now possible to take a screenshot of just the main viewport. Coupled with this feature are changes to Snap Image, which now has options to Fit the image to the viewport's dimensions. This new combination of features allows for better projection painting workflows using a 2d painting program like Gimp. The new Screenshot features are available through in its options dialog. You can also save the current view to the Saved Views at the same time and with the same name as the screenshot so that they can be aligned later. [optigon]
rj/sweep_fix
* NOT PUBLISHED
NOTE: Sweep extrusion normal fix. [optigon]
rj/tweak9
* NOT PUBLISHED
NOTE: Added rewrite of Tweak. [optigon]
rj/vs_to_loop
* NOT PUBLISHED
NOTE: New Feature: Select|Edge Loop while in vertex mode will now convert consecutive vertices to edges. [optigon]
rj/weld_fix
* NOT PUBLISHED
NOTE: Welding objects with only two faces could crash. (Thanks to Fonte Boa). [optigon]
