- added a new feature (new modules are required) in the Image Plugin (Menu -> File -> Import -> Import Image) that allow tracing images. This may allow engraving pictures.
- started to add UI's for the Excellon Editor Tools (really early work)
- 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
- when loading a Gcode file in the app now the application makes an attempt in adding information's such that the CncJob UI works correctly; if so information's are not found then assumptions are made. Only for GCode that is detected as made from an Excellon object
- remade the Film Plugin such that the `skew` feature is now done in length units as opposed with the previous usage of angles
- refactored some big methods from the Film Plugin
- 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
- fixed CNCJob UI showing all tools in the Tools Table even when only some tools were selected for processing
- fixed the `drillcncjob` Tcl Command to work in the case of drilling a selection of tools instead of all, with toolchange inactive
- 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
- made sure that the `drillcncjob` and `cncjob` Tcl commands will use the `-las_power` parameter to set the laser power when using a preprocessor with `laser` in its name
- fixed crash when trying to do a `select all` and there are app Scripts present
- updated the `drillcncjob` Tcl command to make a script exit in case of an error
- make sure that the laser postprocessor that do move on the Z axis (like 'GRBL_laser_Z') accept negative values for the Z focus
- fixed issue in highlighter such that the keywords that have an underscore included are highlighted
- rearranged the default keywords
- fixed the generatecncjob() method default parameters to reflect new data structure names
- in Geometry object the default self.options dictionary is updated with keys that reflect new data structure
