- 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
- some changes in data tools structure ('tool_type' to ['data']['tools_mill_job_type])
- some strings changes
4.07.2021
- optimized the Milling Plugin preferences
- added more preferences for v-shape tools in the Milling Plugin Preferences
- deactivated the automatic disable of the Cut Z parameter when selecting a v-shape tool in Milling Plugin
- in Milling Plugin added some protections against receiving signals from widgets without objectName set
- in Milling Plugin made sure that the Custom offset field is displayed only when it is needed (selected from Offset Type combobox)
- added some requirements asked by vispy v0.7.0
- if the generated Gcode is empty then the app will know and will not create a CNCJob object
- modified the Tool Table in Milling Plugin: now the tool type parameter is part of the Tool parameters and no longer in the Tool Table
- working on a Kosy CNC machine preprocessor file
