LPub3D 1.3.0 Released !

[Trevor Sandy]

Hi Don,

See my remarks below.

Have the changes been put to the test on any systems other than Windows? If not, I'll try and see what happens on linux (and OS-X if my ancient emac still runs, or the icebook I suppose).

No, but I did the enhancement using Cygwin.

Where do I find ldsearchdirs.h? I have a vague memory that makes me think maybe there was a sourceforge project somewhere with the ldrawsearchdirs code, but I haven't found it yet.

It's part of the LPub3D source, you can see on sourceforge.net - follow the link in the LPub3D about menu item.

I noticed that code like this:
function("Some String")
is replaced quite often by code that looks like this:
{
char* str = "Some String";
function(str);
}

Is there some new C standard that forces that construct on us? I don't like it, but I guess times change... Or is this maybe a C++ thing caused by some of the files foolishly using the .cpp extension when they're actually plain old C code?

The mingw 4.9.2 compiler was complaining about the original code being obsolete. I didn't change any extensions just used what i downloaded. My goal was to implement the functionality I needed for LPub3D - as described in update notes. I did not think this code base was maintained. Please feel free to throw out anything I've done as you please.

And finally, if anyone remembers how to use manage a sourceforge cvs repository I could use some hints. Apparently cvs is deprecated to the point where they've removed most of the documentaion. Right now I'm limited to the annonymous read-only access that's still documented. I'm almost tempted to start over with ldglite code someone stashed on github.

You could use TortoiseCVS to download your source and repost on SVN or github.

Cheers,
