Greetings,
LPub3D 2.0.8 is released.
You can download from sourceforge.net or check for updates in your existing installation.
This release reverts to MinGW distributions for both x86 and x64 architectures. I will not produce MSVC distributions going forward.
Features and enhancements
------------
-Fix: Print/export 'page range' option output incorrect (r785)
*For print/export option "All pages," images are generated in numerical order. However, for option "Page Range," images are generated in "alphabetical" order for lack of a better description. If one selects pages 1-115, the order the pages are generated is 1, 10, 100, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 2, 20... The order is now as expected 1...10...100 etc...
-Fix: Revert to MinGW distributions - for both x32 and x64 architectures (r784)
*Discontinue all MSVC LPub3D distributions.
-Fix: Refactor loading model file into Ldraw editor window (r783)
*File load hangs for an unusual amount of time when loading a large model file. This behaviour appears usually when the LDraw editor tab is not in focus. If the file is loaded with the editor tab in focus, the file is loaded nominally.
-Fix: Exclude fade directories from search directory list if fade step not enabled (r781)
*Improve just a little bit the performance during model file load.
-Fix: Refactor adding parts to archive library (r780)
*Improved logging detail and added checks to not submit an empty search directory.
-Fix: Log all status entries add date time stamp (r779)
*Capture all status bar updates to the log files. Increase log file size to 5Mb rotating across 5 files. Log files located at Software/LPub3D/logs
-Fix: Backup parameter files during install (r778)
*Backup user-editable parameter files that must be overwritten during installation of updates. This way, any additions created by the user will not be lost. However, it will be necessary to manually update the new parameter file with your additions.
-Fix: Refactor fade step behaviour (r777)
*Update fadeStepColorParts.lst attributes to allow faster library parsing to generate static colour parts.
NOTE: FILE UPDATE REQUIRED. fadeStepColourParts.lst file updated with new required column so it is necessary to update your installed file. LPub3D will automatically backup and overwrite the existing file during installation.
-Fix: Adjustable renderer process timeout (r776)
*All the user to manage the amount of time to keep alive the renderer process. The default is 6 minutes but can be changed between -1 which is run indefinitely and 99 minutes. For high definition using POV-Ray, rendering process time can easily exceed the default. This setting is located at Preferences/Rendering/Process timeout.
-Fix: Reload archive libraries into memory (r775)
*On model file load, do not reload library if no new parts discovered. LPub3D sweeps the defined search directories upon file load. This update makes a little more efficient the load process.
-Fix: Update aboutdialog display version of Qt (r774)
*Display version of Qt from the platform versus hard coded.
-Fix: Compile on MinGW x64 (r773)
*Convert int to intptr.
Cheers,
