Bugfixes / Additions / Changes

Development version (unreleased)

  • Alpha 1.0 for shadow effects is now opaque
  • Colours other than black now work for rendering shadow/outline effects
  • Material index bug fixed for underlines
  • Non-unified renderer now works for high-resolution shadows
  • '''Multi-user-warning color and number-of-users/single-user for OB: field in buttonswindow header'''
  • Obdata type and multi-user-warning-color and click-for-single-user in buttonswindow header
  • Better handling of pages, scene toggle for either pages or frames. In Pages mode, new objects will always be created only on the current page
  • Objects on multiple pages show with multi-user-warning-colored frame (page) number button in buttonswindow header
  • Page numbers now work with groups
  • Fix freeze with editing groups
  • Reordered items in the Add->DTP menu
  • Primitives added in editmode will be at mouse instead of 3D cursor
  • Added option to display icons in user-primitives toolbox sublevel
  • When "Load font" is clicked with a text object using the builtin font, the fonts dir from the userprefs is now used correctly
  • "Split to characters" for fonts now works correctly for non-left-aligned text objects
  • Added a full-featured colour-capable bitmap tracer, integrating the potrace library into dtpblender
  • Added a toggle to force antialiasing of images even if general OSA is turned off
  • Default guides, background and bleed area cannot be moved/scaled/rotated anymore
  • Alignment (Left/Right/etc.) is not copied for text objects anymore with the CTRL-C "Font settings" option
  • Made boundbox clip in view work for images (huge view speedup when images are outside the view)
  • Added a pt field to the font editbuttons so you can enter pt sizes directly (note: this will only be correct if the object is unscaled (ALT-S)
  • Improved the quality of the "Sharp" outline effect
  • New material option "Do Alpha". If effects (shadow, outline) are used on a simple image without alpha effects, turning this off will give a preview speed up of about factor 20
  • Browser window preview in WWW mode now smoother and faster
  • Evil things could happen with pages, objects on other pages could still get selected in various ways. Hope they can't anymore
  • Automatic text flow around objects (new toggle and margin setting in the object buttons, and new ctrl-c menu entry). Text only flows around objects which are enabled for text flow and which are layered higher than the text. Text needs to be manually reflowed using CTRL-R (reflows ALL text in the current scene)
  • Changed guides to be less in-your-face
  • Guides and other special objects do not get selected anymore with AKEY
  • Made TextOnCurve finally work sanely when the text object is scaled
  • Made TextOnCurve center letters on the curve instead of using their lower-left (or lower-right?) point
  • When editing text, the text cursor can now be placed with LEFTMOUSE
  • Character-Parent: Objects can be parented to individual characters in text objects and will follow the text flow
  • Smallcaps support: Arbitrary passages of text can be made smallcaps style (SC toggle / Factor in editbuttons)
  • UV Image now works the same as regular Image - "Load Image" button is enough

Note to self: Updated startup file, renaming binary not necessary anymore, compile DB.blend in

  • Pressing WKEY without an active object doesn't crash anymore
  • Seperate outline/shadow effect resolutions for ogl/render work
  • The quality of the shadow effect has been substantially improved
