What's new in Skencil 0.6.17
Sep 9, 2009
- Prepare for Python 2.4: Update paxtkinter to deal with python's Tkinter changes
- The .sk file format is now the default file format in the File/Open dialog. Patch by Frank Koormann
- The setup.py script works on HP-UX now. Shared libraries have a .sl extension there. Patch by Olivier Mehani (Savannah patch #3709).
- Mouse-wheel support for the canvas. The mouse wheel scrolls up/down. Savannah patch #3836 by cafeine
- Updated the FAQ a bit to better match the one on the web-page.
- Kinyarwanda translations by Steve Murphy. The translation seems quote incomplete.
- Bug Fixes:
- On some systems math.atan2 raises an exception when called with two zeros. Fix one occurrence in the arrow module. Reported by Joel Biddier
- Cancelling the drawing of a poly line or poly bezier with ESC resulted in tracebacks until the next mouse click. Reported by Antoon Pardon (Savannah bug #9378). Patch by Valentin Ungureanu (Savannah patch #3141).
- The "Export Raster" script gives a better error message if ghostscript can't be called. Bug reported by Eric Devost
- When importing EPS files, skencil didn't parse %�ginData comments correctly. Fixed by Savannah patch #3134 by Bernhard Reiter
- The svg export filter now sets the winding rule for all objects to even-odd. Savannah patch #3103 by Philippe Blayo, fixes Savannah bug #5756 by Simon Budig.
- The SVG filter handles ill-formed transform specifications a bit better. The old version would hang in a regular expression match if the triling closing parenthesis of e.g. a matrix specification was missing. Bug report by Joel Biddier
- The svg import filter also accepts capital Z as closepath command of a path specification as required by the SVG specification. Savannah Patch #3587 by Bernhard Reiter.
- In the print dialog, when the user clicked on the file selection button and cancelled the dialog, Skencil would give an exception. This is now fixed.
- The usage messge printed when the --help option is given on the command line now correctly refers to "skencil" not "sketch" anymore.
- The source URL in the spec file now refers to skencil as well. It still points to sourceforge, though. Patch by Paul Dickson
- The setup.py script now finds the tcl/tk libraries on OpenBSD as well (savannag bug #12046)
- Already in 0.6.16, but not mentioned before: Skencil's type1 font parsing code could not cope with some type1 files -- files with no subrs or with flexes. Now it can. Bug report by André Pascual
