1.8.1 - Another big time (r2)

what was new (from 1.8.0)?

• you can now import with more parameters, like color (thanks @Aera23 for the feedback on Discord!).
• inspector is now more localized (well, at least, tho)
• every action done on the inspector is now saved and you could undo it
• optimization. now it should save you lots of RAM when CompassCAD isn't focused
• you can now turn on pre-1.5.0 style Cartesian grids, in case the dotted grid doesn't help much
• you can now choose to turn snap on or off directly. by default, snap will always be on.
• colliders are now widened. the colliders should widen when you zoom out.
• close-up zooms are now possible, up to 17x zoom
• label's font size can be modified up to your heart's content
• lerp zoom is no longer available and is now removed.
• you can now copy, cut and paste. the shortcuts are normal.
• you can now write JS-based extension. documentation will be provided later on. it's on, for Windows, C:/Users/User/AppData/Roaming/compasscad/plugins, and for Linux, it's ~/.config/compasscad/plugins
• lots of bug fixes.

what is ACTUALLY new?

• just bug fixes and patches to SVG exporter's bug

1.7.1 - Rolling release ahh thing

just fixed some bugs related to the SVG exporter. probably it.

1.7.0 - Another minor but major release

what's new?

• now we have drag/resizing options. select a component with 2 sets of coordinates or more (such as rectangle, line, arc, circle)
• bug fixes
• CompassCAD is now released under GPL-3.0
  nothing is special btw.

notes

i have read your reviews on snap, and i would say that one is biased, another one is unbiased and also clear and concise. CompassCAD is NOT CAD for machinery or carpentry work, it is an architectural CAD/sketch CAD (drafts and stuffs like that). most issues are already fixed as of 1.6.2 (snap, docs, etc). the tree tool is just a way to demonstrate how you can implement shapes in a workspace, nothing fancy, so you can tamper with shapes within code (only accessible in devmode, accessing it requires you to click the CompassCAD logo on the top left corner seven (7) times). oh and, CompassCAD is NOT made to scale. "close to the tools" that is referred in the first review. it is intentional because i want to keep things simple, not being so "complicated ahh tool", balancing both for noobs and amateurs. also, the reviews were written in CompassCAD 1.2.0, not 1.6.1, so please ditch it. thanks :)

oh and, CompassCAD core 1.7.0 is released. ccad web might never have an inspector (unlike the desktop version), just to showcase how to use CompassCAD core in embedded situations.

1.6.2 - Visual improvements

what's new?

• nothing. just quality of life improvements. the grid and visuals does not snap, and now, you can move freely like in any other CAD
• changing the grid spacing to anything smaller than 25-50 now does not affect the overall renderer's FPS and performance. be less precise while optimizing the overall performance
• that's all. this release is built with mobile so only minor improvements were made.

1.6.1 - Minor update

just bug fixes. that's all.

1.6.0 - HUGE update

what's new

• now we have inspector! inspect your CAD shapes and tweak to your heart's desire!
• THE GRID IS NOW CONSISTENT AND PROPORTIONATE! A NEARLY UNSOLVED BUG SINCE 0.5.0
• some tools just got better, such as measures. now it will look like your typical CAD measure tool.
• SVG exporting just got better! now the document height and width varies with your design!
• bug fixes ofc

1.5.0 - Just a small update

what's new?

not much, here is just some:

• added image support to CompassCAD
• and some bug fixes

stay tuned for 1.5.5 where the update for image support will be fixed. this is just a soft major update

CompassCAD Core 1.5.0 might be released later (1.4.0 core release cancelled) with updates such as arrowhead measures, image support on core (need to port whole code from the desktop version to the core version)

p.s. older CompassCAD version CAN STILL OPEN the file format from 1.5.0 or later, however it's risky due to being the Picture type on type 9, which is only on 1.5.0 and up, so <1.5.0 won't have images rendered, it will just be skipped as part of a foreign object.

1.4.0 - the update that MIGHT CHANGE how we work with cad

what's new

• added collaboration (desktop-to-desktop only, web version soon). this will ensure that u can design peer to peer on a decentralized backend.
• new icons
• ccad files are now automatically binded. double click to open ur cad files now.
• measure now ends with an arrowhead, like most CADs
• the canvas is all new and fullscreen. this means that drawing accuracy can be perfected to a mere 100%
• and some more updates and bug fixes

compasscad core 1.4.0 will be released soon along with some desktop updates

1.3.0 - ANOTHER MAJOR update

what's new

• fixed some bugs
• monospace font is now replaced with a new cad-specialized font
• a backup feature, in case if compasscad force closes or u accidentally clicked the close button, there is now a way to recover from a restore point
• and much more that i'm lazy to check the commits page.
  anyways, have fun
  (compasscad core is still using the same 1.2.0 engine, it's just the client-side update)
