- Levelling Tool: when adding a Grid probing and the avoidance of Excellon is used, now the probing locations will be offset enough so the probing is not done in the Excellon holes
- in SolderPaste Plugin make sure that the preprocessor is set the same for all tools (nozzles) whenever is modified
- added 2 new preprocessor files for the SolderPaste Plugin (GRBL and MARLIN)
- in SolderPaste Plugin made sure that the start GCode is not added for each nozzle but only once at start
- in SolderPaste Plugin added a new parameter: 'Feedrate Rapids' which will set the feedrate for the fast moves as opposed with the previously used G0 command. This allows to fine tune the fast moves to reduce the vibrations
- in Solderpaste Plugin fixed the CNCJob plotting
- in Solderpaste Plugin added a new parameter 'Margin' which allows reducing how much solderpaste is added and therefore adding a space between the solderpaste and the pad boundary
- all CNCJob objects generated by the Solderpaste plugin now have the GCode saved as source_code which can be saved also from the CNCJob object context menu, and edited
- fixed a number of issues, mostly leftovers from moving the UI of a Plugin in its own class
- fixed some bugs in the Punch Gerber plugin
- fixed some bugs where the 'pool' parameter was not passed when creating shapes collections (in 3D graphic mode); I wonder how it worked until now
- added a new feature in the Isolation Plugin: now for all the isolation Geometry objects this plugin can do a supplementary simplification of the geometry using the tolerance parameter defined in the General Parameters. This should lead to a reduced number of tool lifts when doing corners
- fixed some outstanding issues from the PyQt6 port
- PEP8 fixes
- minor fixes
- updated the saving of Preferences to update the self.options too: the `Apply` action will update the self.options but the `Save` action will save the updated preferences to the file on disk
- added ability to turn off the outline plotting for Gerber objects (will speed up the plotting but the plotting visual quality will degrade); controlled from Preferences -> Gerber -> General
- plotting visuals in 3d graphic mode will no longer create some unnecessary lists
- applied the FCMessageBox GUI elements everywhere; there is still a hack in appTranslation file where I needed to re-implement the class due of some circular imports errors
- in 2Sided Plugin added a new typ of alignment drills: manual. This mode will no longer add pairs of drill holes mirrored against reference but only add in place drill holes
- in Excellon Editor made sure that the tool diameter is always updated before adding a new drill (or drill array)
- changing units is not possible while in Editors
- changing units outside the Preferences will make no permanent changes
- deleting all shapes from the shapes collection (OpenGl graphics) will reset also the index in the collection data dict
- Fiducials Plugin: replaced a Radio button with a Combobox2 and optimized the UI
- The Combobox2 GUI element no longer issue an exception if it is tried to set a string value, it will set automatically the index 0
- in Film Plugin some changes in the data storage; require to delete de current preferences files
- Film Plugin: now the Skew and Scale transformation have their own reference
- updated the language strings to the current strings in the app
- trying to separate the Preferences settings from App init and to make them dependent on the self.defaults dictionary
- updated the language strings from the source
