Time for a new release...
Enjoy!
/Björn
- Extended Edge|Circularise Lmb to handle multiple open edge loops. [optigon]
- Added mmb select option to Tweak, for Maya camera mode users. [optigon]
- Improvements and bug fixes to dragging.
- Now drag position won't jump when constraints are released.
- The numeric tab entry now shows units achieved via constraints.
- Constraint effects now are limited to only the active drag parameter.
- Tools limiting drag distances to a range, would continue to tabulate past
their allowed limits, which could result in the user dragging blindly with no
effect until the drag distance fell between the limits again.
- Zooming would cause the current drag distance to jump when using tools with
mixed drag modes like Sweep, Contour, and Circularise.
[optigon]
- Fixed menus so that they won't cover up the Info Line. [optigon]
- Rewrite of the Contour plugin to improve both performance and functionality.
It now appears as Inset in the face menu. [optigon]
- Extrude Region would occasionally omit an edge when processing poles with
five or more edges (for instance when extruding three or more faces on the top
end of the sphere primitive). Now fixed. [optigon]
- Another rewrite of Sweep, mainly to improve processing speed. Other changes
include a better implementation of Sweep for individual faces, and a new
option to Freeze/Thaw the base of the extrusion. [optigon]
- New Feature: View|Position Camera allows you to position the camera
numerically. Includes a preview mode for flipping betweeen the old view
and new view by pressing '1'. From the preview, pressing lmb re-opens the
camera position dialog, and rmb accepts the current view and exits the
preview. [optigon]
- New option, File|Save Unused Materials, can be checkmarked if you want to save
all the materials from a scene, including the ones not applied to your model,
to a .wings file. [optigon]
- BzFlag exporter added to Wings. [contributed by trepan and optic delusion with
minor changes by optigon]
- German translation updates from Torsten Manz.
- New Feature: Tools|Magnet Mask|Lock/Unlock. Locks the positions of vertices
against the effects of magnets in both Tweak and Magnet mode with the
exception that masked vertices within a selection will not be locked.
Display options are included in Edit|Preferences|General > Magnet Mask vertex
colour and size including alpha.
There are also the option View|Show|Show Magnet Mask which toggles the display
and Select|By|Magnet Mask. [optigon]
- For Developers: There are new options for adding draw lists for plugins via
#dlo{plugins=[]} added to the wings.hrl. You can follow the example plugin
wpc_magnet_mask.erl and check the functions added to wings_plugin.erl to get
an idea of what this is all about or ask questions/add suggestions on the
Wings 3D Official Development Forum. [optigon]
Enjoy!

but have to say that I love that
menus no longer cover up the info line and also the save unused materials option.
