LDCad 1.5 Alpha 1 (win+linux)

[Roland Melkert]

With the 1.5 version of LDCad I decided to take another approach then my usual beta versions followed by a 'stable' one.

I wanted to give people the opportunity to play with some of the new features while other are still under construction. Downside of this all is an Alpha version might be less stable then beta ones.

This 1.5 Alpha version houses 2 of the 4 planned major features. Both are pretty much 100% complete but might need some additional fine tuning, so any feedback is appreciated.

The features are:
Window overlay / docking

LDraw source window

Note: To undock a window grab it by some of it's 'dead space', To dock a window hold down the ctrl key at the location you want it to be. Optionally you can also lock the configuration (from the gui menu) to prevent accidental unlocking.

There are also many small features / tweaks, like:
improved scroll bar behavior
Part bin appearance tweaks (allows for a much smaller bin width and horizontal orientation)
And may of the smaller feature requests made in the 1.4b forum thread.

For a full list of all changes read the changeLog.txt file.
