Improve convergence of constraints involving parallel vectors, by using the initial numerical guess of whichever vector is already known to choose our projection planes. And add a mechanism to defer showing the text window or regenerating, in order to simplify dependencies on valid actives. Also yes/no/cancel when about to abandon an unsaved file, and a bugfix when rotating a rot/trans point. [git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/solvespace/": change = 1772] 2008-06-04 02:28:41 +08:00
Replace copyright notices for SolveSpace with my LLC, not my name. [git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/solvespace/": change = 2035] 2009-09-28 17:48:56 +08:00			`multi-drag`
Add a special constraint type for comments; no equations, just user-visible text. And make points hoverable/selectable even when GW.showPoints is false, and zoom to fit before regenerating on file open, because then we're at the right zoom level (and will use the right pwl tolerance).

Increment the version number, and add a context menu item to snap what's hovered to the grid. [git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/solvespace/": change = 2042] 2009-09-30 16:54:01 +08:00			`some kind of import`
Add ability to relax the constraints, applying only point-coincident constraints and the entity- or group-generated constraints. Also fix a bug where a dragged point was not released when the mouse pointer left the window.

Add a context menu, with a grab bag of options. That will need some refinement later, but it does not affect file formats so it's not very critical. [git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/solvespace/": change = 2032] 2009-09-23 18:59:59 +08:00			`faster triangulation`

Add support for the 3dconnexion six degree of freedom input devices (in my case, a SpaceNavigator). I can transform the view of the part, or transform a part in an assembly. Also fix up mouse wheel input, so that it works even if it comes in chunks of less than 120 units. [git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/solvespace/": change = 2019] 2009-07-21 03:05:33 +08:00			`copy and paste`
Add code to subdivide (with de Castljau's algorithm) a surface, and use that for surface-line intersections. That has major problems with the heuristic on when to stop and do Newton polishing. There's also an issue with all the Newton stuff when surfaces join tangent. And update the wishlist to reflect current needs. [git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/solvespace/": change = 1925] 2009-03-08 18:59:57 +08:00			`loop detection`
Show a progress message when regenerating is slow. And update the version number to 1.4, don't include force-hidden entities when building the loops, and don't show force-hidden entities when that entity gets copied. [git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/solvespace/": change = 1983] 2009-06-14 12:36:38 +08:00			`IGES export`

Change how step and repeat works: now I build the union of all the steps in thisShell or thisMesh, and then let the Boolean proceed as usual. If everything works, then this is equivalent. And it's less code, and it makes stuff like stepping the step and repeat work. Also begin to work on line/entity/constraint styles, but no real work yet.

Add routines to remove T intersections from the mesh, which are introduced by the bsp routines. It's usually, though not always, possible to generate a watertight mesh. The occasions where it's not look ugly, floating point issues, no quick fix. And use those to generate a list of edges where two different faces meet, which I can emphasize for cosmetic reasons (and some UI to specify whether to do that, and with what color). And make the right mouse button rotate the model, since that was previously doing nothing. [git-p4: depot-paths = "//depot/solvespace/": change = 1821] 2008-07-06 15:56:24 +08:00
