[0.2.1] LDForge

[Santeri Piippo]

Sure has been quiet on this front for a while. I've recently made the circle tool able to handle partial as well as high-resolution circles, rings and discs. Also the ring finder algorithm is a bit more reliable and produces more efficient results. Also new is that ldforge now tries to download any un-found files off the parts tracker and can properly be associated with .dat files.

I'm thinking of putting up an unstable beta build. The main thing keeping me from releasing is a highly annoying bug which causes ldforge to randomly crash when a document is closed. For some reason it only happens on Windows. I have no idea how to go about debugging this.

I've also been thinking about the possibility of parsing/processing the header instead of just considering it a bunch of comments at the top of the body. It will certainly be a more involved change and won't happen till the new version is finally out (which may take a while due to the aforementioned problem).

My university studies are beginning so my time pool has kind of diminished a tad. I will still keep on working on ldforge/ldraw parts when I get the chance to. And yes I keep changing my system style all the time.
