--------------------------------------------------------------------
Ipe 7.1.3 (2013-01-08) Bayreuth edition * Work around rounding error in stretching code. * Improved Info.plist for Ipe application bundle on Mac OS X, to register Ipe as an editor for IPE, EPS, and PDF files (feature #90). * Selecting objects by dragging a rectangle now correctly updates the primary selection to the last newly selected object (bug #83). * Using Monospace font for coordinates, so they don't wobble anymore (bug #81). * Added grid-visible button to toolbar. * Support for scaling in coordinates display (feature #81). * Snap turned off when switching to "ink" mode if prefs.tablet_mode is true (feature #76). * Move layer to top didn't work correctly (bug #114). * Latex conversion did not work for old pdflatex versions without the \pdfobjcompresslevel macro (bug #116). * Added "Check layer from view" to layer menus (feature #115). * Deleting single view of a page disabled (bug #110). * No longer possible to delete all pages of a document from the page sorter (bug #111). * Fixed incorrect display of thumbnails in page/view selector and page sorter. * It was impossible to add a clipping path to a group (bug #109). -------------------------------------------------------------------- Ipe 7.1.2 (2012-1-16) SVN 580 Sydney edition * Latex is now automatically run every time text is inserted or edited. This can be disabled from the File menu or from prefs.lua (feature #98). * Update stylesheets didn't look in current directory when filename contained no slash (bug #68). * Moving layers now moves them to the expected place. * Properties menu less enormous. Cut, copy, etc. will only be shown when prefs.tablet_menu is true. * Search & replace ipelet now only affects selected text objects (bug #96). * Fixed crash in rotate with right+alt (bug #97). * Fixed compiler warnings (bug #89). * Checkboxes in dialogs were not initialized correctly (bug #93). * When the end of the undo/redo sequence is reached, a message appears only in the status line (no longer using a pop-up). * "Join paths" and "Compose paths" are again available in the properties menu (bug #91). * Invisible line segments with arrows now work correctly: If a line segment is set to "filled only", then the arrows are drawn in the fill color, and the segment itself is not drawn at all (bug #78). * Cycling through "stroke-only / stroke & fill / fill-only" no longer forgets the current colors of the object (bug #79). * "Delete" and "Merge" now show up for each layer, but give an error message if the layer is active. * Color icons again visible in stroke and fill color list in property menu. (Once again, Qt changed the semantics of an operation.) -------------------------------------------------------------------- Ipe 7.1.1 (2011-09-07) SVN 563 Oberwolfach edition * Fixed crash on odoc event on Mac OS X (bug #63). * When a point is created using the lines tool (by clicking left and then right at the same location), force line cap to be round to avoid making invisible object (and for consistency with ink tool). * IPESTYLES is now a list of style directories. Ipe will search for stylesheets in all these directories. By default, this will now include ~/.ipe/styles on Unix, and also ~/Library/Ipe/Styles on OSX. * Fixed omission of ~/.ipe/ipelets on OSX and added ~/Library/Ipe/Ipelets as well. * Layers can now be moved in the layerlist (right-click on layer name). * Zoom and pan now properly initialized when Ipe starts up (feature #4). * New script "add-style" to add stylesheet to an Ipe figure. * Removed "-styleupdate" option from ipetoipe, and created new script "update-styles". Updating styles both inside Ipe and using "update-styles" now searches the entire IPESTYLES list. * Reenabled compilation of omitted image ipelet (bug #66). * New <textpad> setting in stylesheet to fix cropped text (bug #49). * Always present 'normal' as the first attribute in dropdown list. * Show real linewidth during handwriting. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Ipe 7.1.0 (2011-08-29) SVN 549 * Refactored Ipe code so that it is easy to build the Ipe application with different user interface toolkits. A native Win32 interface is nearly complete. A Gtk interface is being considered, with Canvas and dialog support implemented. Perhaps someone will contribute a native Cocoa interface for Mac OS X. * Selection preserved after undo. * When adding objects to the selection, the last selected object is the primary selection. * New shredder mode (feature #16). * Easier customization of mouse buttons using a table in "mouse.lua". More than three buttons can now be used. New "shred" operation. * Added "ipescript" tool. It is no longer necessary to install the Ipe module for Lua to run scripts. * Fixed bounding box when exporting a view to Postscript. * Properties menu now also shown when no object selected, and allows to change properties of multiple objects at once. * Updated Makefile and instructions for compiling on MacOS X (bug #20). Including shell script for building an app bundle by leahcimb. * Fixed regular k-gon ipelet (bug #35). * Fixed prefs.lua for MacOS X (bug #28). * Layers are now again presented in the order in which they were added (bug #32). In the future we'll need a feature to rearrange them manually. * Added preference for zoom factor (feature #53). * On MacOS X, the close button should now correctly reflect whether the document is modified. * Fixed display of subsection bookmarks (bug #31). * Fixed spurious loss of pinning information for group objects (bug #37). * First attempt to handle file-open events on Mac OS X. This would allow to launch documents by clicking them (feature #58). * Shortcut to rename the active layer (feature #50). * If prefs.tablet_mode is true, then in ink mode the selection is not highlighted and the cursor remains a dot (feature #26). -------------------------------------------------------------------- Ipe 7.0.14 (2011-01-27) SVN 474 Australia edition * Fixed saving of <pagenumberstyle> (bug #7). * Fixed iperender and thumbnails on 64-bit platforms. * Pressing Enter in view/page selector now jumps to the view/page (feature #24). Shortcuts for view/page selector. Original view/page highlighted in selector. * Background no longer hides page number in PDF output (bug #8). * Mark circle center now also works for arcs (bug #3). * Fit to selection/objects now fits to visible object, not including control points (bug #2). * Grid now only drawn inside page's frame area, drawn grid can be coarser than grid resolution, thick lines drawn at configurable steps (see prefs.lua) (feature #17). * Correctly render Latex text inside symbols (bug #18). * matrix:inverse() no longer crashes on singular matrix. * Circle to ellipse transformation no longer crashes on singular ellipse (bug #21). * Easier to use symbols by remembering current symbol, which can then be inserted with one function key (Alt+Y) (feature #19). * Introduced pref.close_distance. * Paste at cursor now correctly observes pinning of the object. * Fixed serious memory leak in group object. * Implemented marking of pages and views for printing in Ipe, and selecting those in ipetoipe. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Ipe 7.0.13 (2010-11-26) SVN 466 * Error message when document requires charset conversion but iconv is not compiled in. * Fixed selection of invisible objects. * New dialog for jumping to a page or view, showing thumbnails of the pages/ views. This is implemented using a new widget and function in libipeqtcanvas so that it can be reused easily: int pno = ipeqt::PageSelector::selectPageOrView(doc) * When using the ink tool, actual stroke color is used while handwriting. * Pressing the eraser end of a pen should generate a middle button event. * New action: "fit to page width" * In handwriting mode, cursor is a dot. * New preference: prefs.coordinates_format * Feedback in status line for line and spline tools now permanent. * Pressing the pen without movement in ink tool now makes a dot. * Handwriting now creates paths with round line cap, regardless of current setting (but that can still be changed afterwards). * Safety check for reasonable locale on startup. * Layers now shown in the order in which they appear in views of the page. * Page sorter that lets you rearrange the pages of the document. * ipeqt::Canvas can now show page numbers, and Ipe will display page numbers on screen as in the PDF output if page numbering is enabled. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Ipe 7.0.12 (2010-11-21) SVN 452 * Fixed several small bugs in 7.0.11 release. * Made use of iconv configurable. * Edit toolbar, for tablet users. Includes a sticky shift key. * Implemented multiple shortcuts for an action (request #345). * Worked around Qt crash in arc edit (bug #338). * Ignoring Escape button in text creation/editing windows. * Text edit window now has an "Apply" button. It will update the text object and run Latex, without closing the editing window. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Ipe 7.0.11 (2010-11-13) SVN 444 India edition * Fixed definition of filled marks in basic.isy and presentation.isy. * Fixed loading of ipelets to occur before analyzing the configuration, to make customization work as documented. * "version" attribute in <ipe> tag was incorrectly filled with the Ipelib version. Now using the file format version as intended. * Stylesheet can specify an alternate encoding for the Latex source file. The Latex source is converted from UTF-8 to this encoding during Latex conversion. * Possibility to store notes with each page. * Fixed selection status in "Insert image" ipelet. * Fixed bug in Ipe6 stylesheet in ipe6upgrade. * Fixed bugs in alignment ipelet (thanks Norbert). * Added "mactex2009-fontmap.xml" (by Changmook Chun). * Use -dylib_install_name option on Mac OS. * Include "beamer.isy" to use math fonts as in beamer. * Changed temporary latex filename to "ipetemp.tex" * Small changes to make Ipe compile with Sun compiler (thanks Kostas). * Fixed error reading views with no visible layer. * New preference prefs.automatic_use_title. * New -transparent flag for Iperender. * Possibility to clip to paper in ipeqt::Canvas. * config.screen_geometry provides width and height of default screen in Lua. * New preference prefs.auto_external_editor. * Shortcuts in linetool can be configured (#346). * Fixed display of line cap and line join in EPS (bug #331). * Ipe should now work with Texlive 2010 (bug #350). * Fixed bug in undo clipping (bug #333). * Lua code can show and hide dock windows using showTool. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Ipe 7.0.10 (2009-12-09) SVN 402 * Fixed crash in arc drawing (bug #324). * Allow customization of canvas display: paper color, classic grid, thickness of grid lines (see prefs.lua). * Fixed display in path drawing tool on Windows (bug #323). * Fixed broken line cap on circular arc (bug #325). * Preference to set size of main window at startup (prefs.window_size). * SONAME set for all dynamic libraries, and symbolic links created while building and installing. * The "change width" box was placed incorrectly if the minipage had been moved (bug #326). -------------------------------------------------------------------- Ipe 7.0.9 (2009-11-20) SVN 393 * Changed default setting for MOC to moc-qt4. * IPEANCIENTPDFTEX environment variable to support pdftex versions older than 1.40. * Support for color-keyed bitmaps. * Fixed snapping to intersections of ellipses (bug #318). * Convert "runlatex.bat" to OEM codepage on Windows. * Open/Save can now handle non-ASCII filenames when not using UTF-8. * New script "ipe-update-master" (see manual under "advanced topics"). * Better support for Mac OS 10.6 compilation. * Support non-ASCII characters in PDF output of document title/subject/author and in bookmarks. * config.platform now returns "apple" on Mac OS X. * Fixed snapping to boundaries of arcs. * Implemented F3 (Set line & snap) for arcs and Bezier splines. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Ipe 7.0.8 (2009-11-04) SVN 373 * Option -show-configuration to show the current configuration on stdout. * Recognize Mac OS and change some compilation flags in Makefiles. * FreeBSD and Mac OS do not support "install -t <dir>", and so invocations of "install" were changed to use the traditional syntax "install <files> <dir>". * Fixed wrong transformation matrix after path editing (bug #313). * New preference to set size of dialog to create/edit text objects. * Fixed crash during stylesheet add (bug #315). * New shortcut "Ctrl+Return" to accept dialogs (useful in multi-line text input fields). * Enabled display of paper boundary during panning again. * Menu item for showing/hiding bookmarks. * Tooltips in "Properties" dock. * "Edit" button in stylesheets dialog to edit stylesheet using external editor. * Fixed mouse shortcuts (Shift+Right and Shift+Ctrl+Right didn't work properly). * Moved path join/cap/fill rule to the path property menu. * Added opacity and gradient pattern to path property menu. * Current settings indicated in path property menu. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Ipe 7.0.7 (2009-10-23) SVN 361 * Removed -fno-exceptions and -fno-rtti from CXXFLAGS, to avoid surprises like bug #308. * Fixed broken interpretation of symbol/mark matrix (bug #310). * Fixed page numbering (bug #311). * Implemented "prefs.select_distance". * Fixed incorrect handling of line cap and line join (bug #312). -------------------------------------------------------------------- Ipe 7.0.6 (2009-10-23) SVN 359 * Worked around Qt styling bug in QComboBox (bug #308). Using QSignalMapper now to map signals (no derived classes). * LayerBox popup moved into Lua code. * Fixed renaming of active layers. * Fixed selection of objects in locked layers. * Function to check symbolic attributes. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Ipe 7.0.5 (2009-10-22) SVN 357 * Created script "svgtoipe.py" to convert SVG files to Ipe format. It is available as a separate download. * Made Lua interface for attribute values more robust - interface now checks that attributes have correct type before passing them to Ipelib. This fixes opacity names starting with digits. (Bug #288) * #define to enable use of ancient pdftex versions ( < 130). Bug #309. * Show current view and page number in the properties window. * Environment variable IPEQTSTYLE sets this Qt style. Saying, for instance, 'export IPEQTSTYLE="cleanlooks" ' would fix the Qt crash in some styles on some systems. (See bug #308.) * Gradient support changed: gradients are now used as fill patterns for path objects. Gradients can now have more than two color stops. The file format has changed slightly because of this, so the current file format version is 70005. There is no support for reading 70000-version files with gradients. * Support base64-encoding for bitmaps in XML format. * Fixed views without active layer. * Fixed filename in autosave (bug #2883631). -------------------------------------------------------------------- Ipe 7.0.4 (2009-10-14) SVN 335 * Fixed bug in save_as (bug #305). * ipe6upgrade: fixed empty dash. * Fixed handling of matrix in path join. * Added "arc" and "farc" arrow types. When the final segment of a path is circular arc, then these arrows take on a shape that depends on the radius of the arc, as metafont arrows do. * Fixed handling of path objects with missing stroke and fill attributes. * Added "presentation.isy" to styles directory. You can now create a new presentation by saying "ipe -sheet presentation". * Fixed computation of bounding box of transformed text object. * Fixed handling of horizontal and vertical alignment and transformable text from Properties menu. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Ipe 7.0.3 (2009-10-10) SVN 318 * Style sheets now looked for in IPESTYLES directory, so it suffices to say "ipe -sheet presentation" to create a new presentations. * Fixed cropped boundaries in iperender (bug #284). * "Save as" dialog will start in more sensible directory (can be customized, see prefs.save_as_directory). * Using Cairo font if Latex has not been run. * Fixed colorstack problem in Latex run, require Pdflatex 1.30. * Ipe can now create independent bounding boxes for each view. This is activated by creating a layer named "VIEWBBOX". -------------------------------------------------------------------- Ipe 7.0.2 (2009-09-27) SVN 311 * Path edit tool, including scissors and path join implemented. * Implemented clipping path operations for groups. * Several bugs fixed. * Implemented automatic angular snapping. * Included intersection snapping (from pre29). * Fixed Cairo glyph cache handling (bug #293). * Fixed snapping to ends of B-spline (bug #290). -------------------------------------------------------------------- Ipe 7.0.1 (2009-09-17) SVN 288 * Path entry tool finished, can switch between spline and line mode and handle quadratic and cubic Bezier splines and circular arcs. * If Ipe is called with a non-existing file as an argument, it will not show an error message but remember the file for the next save. * Mark shape selection moved to properties window. * Added $(INSTALL_ROOT) variable to Makefiles for packaging. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Ipe 7.0.0 (2009-09-16) SVN 282 * Most of Ipe was rewritten entirely. * Group object can now have a clipping path. * User-defined marks and arrows can be defined in a style sheet. * Gradients, tilings, and transparency added. * Standard style settings are no longer hardwired into Ipe. Everything is defined in loadable stylesheets. * Mouse button shortcuts have been changed. Right mouse button is now always the popup menu. * Using Cairo library for rendering Ipe documents, Qt for the user interface, and Lua as a scripting language. The entire high-level Ipe model is written in Lua. * Namespaces ipe, ipeqt, ipeui, ipelua. * C++ method names now start with a lowercase letter. * Mark object removed (it is now implemented using symbols). * Ipeextract can open any Ipe file (any version of Ipe 6 or 7) and extract the XML stream. Ipeextract can help to recover files that are unreadable due to an Ipe bug. * There were many small changes in the file format during the lifetime of Ipe 6, and it was becoming cumbersome (and buggy) to keep Ipe able to read all these various versions. Ipe 7.0 has a fresh format, and a separate program ipe6upgrade is used to convert from Ipe 6 to Ipe 7 format. * The grid has been replaced by graph paper. * Ipetopng was replaced by iperender, which can produce output in PNG and in SVG. SVG output can be used to embed scalable Ipe figures in webpages. Iperender does not need to be linked with a GUI toolkit and requires no X server, so it can easily be used on a webserver (to convert Latex source to images or SVG art). * Ipe now fails gracefully on incorrect XML input. * Painter now has a drawArc primitive. Circular arcs on the screen should now be accurate even at high zoom. (PDF and Postscript output still needs to approximate using splines, though.) * Text "transformable" attribute replaced by general "transformations" attribute. Any object can be restricted to translations only or rigid motions only. * Ipe now runs creates temporary directory for running latex under Windows in user's local APPDATA directory. * Ipe XML format contains DOCTYPE declaration, and "ipe.dtd" is provided. * Ipetoipe, ipe6upgrade, ipeextract guess output filename if it is not provided. * Appearance of page numbers on the page can be customized in the style sheet. * Text for latex conversion is now written out in UTF-8, and it is assumed that Pdflatex can handle that (using a suitable package, either "inputenc" or "CJK"). * Ipe symbols can be used as the "bullet" in itemize environments etc. * Path objects can be drawn using a pen on a tablet PC. * New alignment modes to distribute centers and sides equally. * Latex and XML code can now be edited using an external editor. * Support for subpixel information from a tablet (but still completely untested). -------------------------------------------------------------------- Ipe 6.0 preview 32 patch 1 (2009-04-30) * Fixed writing floating point numbers again (bug #279). * Qt 4.5 breaks setting locale (bug #281). * Fixed broken \rule (bug #268). * Removed check against freetype version. It breaks Ipe whenever distributions upgrade freetype, and seems no longer necessary. In principle, freetype should provide upwards binary compatibility. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Ipe 6.0 preview 32 (2008-12-01) * Fixed writing floating point numbers (bug #274). * Fixed compilation with Qt 4.2 (bug #272). -------------------------------------------------------------------- Ipe 6.0 preview 31 (2008-11-04) * Fixed display of mathematical symbols and rules (bugs #253, #268). * ANSI C now requires printf to obey the locale. Since the Ipe file format must be locale independent, we just set the numeric locale to "C" until it becomes clear how ANSI C wants programs to write locale independent data files (bug #263). * Ipe now tries hard not to write numbers in the "1e-3" format that PDF and Postscript do not understand (bug #209). * Correctly handle & in page titles and section headings (bug #240). * Fixed incorrect label for "Turn 90 degrees" and "Turn 270 degrees" ipelets (bug #244). * Some changes for g++ 4.3 (bug #265). * Ipe5toxml now distributed separately. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Ipe 6.0 preview 30 (2007-11-27) * Ipe now works with pdftex 1.40 (in MikTeX 2.6 and texlive 2007). * Pascal-Nicolas Becker, Frederik Hermans, and Damian Schmidt implemented the missing forms of intersection snapping (for arcs and Bezier curves), with bug fix by Jonathan Backer. * Fixed the broken user interface (fields were too small to contain the text) on Unix (removed a static QFont) (bug #191). * Figtoipe now distributed separately. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Ipe 6.0 preview 28 (2006-12-23) * To allow for interesting styles that can be applied at will and exchanged to change the look of a presentation, there were several changes. The "layout" now defines the size of the paper and the 'frame', a rectangular area where (most) drawing on a page will occur. The origin of the Ipe coordinate system is the lower left corner of the frame (no longer of the paper). The frame can be anywhere on the paper, and is displayed with a dotted line on the screen. The layout is specified in the style sheet (and so the paper size can no longer be changed from the UI). * Antialiasing now also works on systems without X Render extension. * Pages can now have a title (Page/Edit title and sections). If a title is set, it is displayed on the page as defined in the style sheet. * Objects can now be pinned horizontally, vertically, or entirely. * Ipe no longer makes a distinction between 'textbox' and 'minipage'. The function "Insert textbox" actually inserts a 'minipage', set to cover the entire width of the frame and horizontally pinned, with transformable set to false. * Textstretch is now a single scalar. * Snapping now recognizes the corners and the boundary of paper and frame. * New alignment functions: left-to-right, top-to-bottom, and left-and-right, top-and-bottom. * New "Properties" menu, where the properties not in the properties panel can be set and changed (en masse). Mark shape and transformable text have been moved here. * The layout of the properties panel can now be selected from three variants (one row, one column, and two columns as before). * Added "Change text width" to "Edit" menu (and a shortcut key). * Coordinate display shows units. * Automatic angular snap is now in force during moving. * Ipe now requires Qt 4.2 or higher (Qmake has silently changed its quoting syntax) (bug #176). * Moved layer renaming to layer list and fixed problem (bug #187). * New functions for moving to/selecting all in any layer. * Added -from and -to options to ipetoipe. * Fixed display of bitmaps in Background template in PDF output. * Fixed crash when a style sheet containing a template was updated. * Fixed paste-undo-undo crash (bug #198). * Ipetopng no longer needs an X server. * Hopefully fixed the bug that caused keyboard shortcuts to not work sometimes. * Save and restore toolbar state (bug #197). * When the page is empty, "Fit objects" does a "Fit frame". * Removed canvas tooltip again. It was too annoying. * Added "Move" ipelet by Gunter Schenck to distribution (bug #53). * Added "Euclidean Geometry" ipelet by Jari Lappalainen to distribution. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Ipe 6.0 preview 27 (2006-09-26) * Function to update all style sheets of the document from external style sheet files (with matching names in the same directory as the Ipe document). * Mark objects can now be filled (for type 'Box' and 'Circle') (bug #139). * Text style now accessible through popup menu. * Text size can now be set while creating text object. * Option -styleupdate for "ipetoipe". * New functions to move objects forward/backward more precisely (bug #144). * Can now select display of mouse position in points, inches, or millimeters (bug #156). * Removed the inclusion of additional directories to the Latex source path. It didn't work in a portable way, and I don't think it's very useful. Fixes problems with MikTex 2.5 (bug #179). * Double buffering is now a preference. It seems not to work on some (Linux) systems. * Disable canvas tooltip while drawing. * Text in Background template works now. * Fixed double vertex in regular k-gon. * Ipetoipe showed number of pages, not number of views, when testing for conversion to EPS (bug #155). * Fixed display of size (not an integer) in ipetopng (bug #155). * Fixed warning when compiling ipestdfonts with GCC 4.2 (bug #159). * Fixed inclusion of JPG images with zero resolution. * Last line in minipage environments is terminated with a LF now. * Save as bitmap now uses anti-aliasing (bug #138). * Fixed warnings on unused return values (bug #169, #170). * Changed project type of ipelets to plugin (bug #171). * Fixed rendering bug for text (bug #146). * Added "Reset Direction" function (bug #140). * Fixed crash when path started with zero length segment followed by circle arc (bug #145). * Reading and writing through Qt is now explicitely buffered (bug #162). * Fixed duplicated control point when joining paths to form a closed loop (bug #133). -------------------------------------------------------------------- Ipe 6.0 preview 26 (2005-12-14) * Added visibility polygon ipelet by Chris Gray. * Anti-aliasing enabled for lines and edges (this is controlled by the preference setting for anti-aliasing fonts). Enabled double-buffering. * Changed how key assignments are defined. Key assignments can be easily customized by editing an XML file. Keyboard shortcuts can be defined for any Ipelet as well. * Changed "default" text style back to Latex default style (justified). * Fixed matrix problem in smallest-circle ipelet. * Fixed "pan here" (bug #119). * Fixed cancellation of color dialog (bug #121). * Added "About ipelets" to display proper credits for code used in ipelets. * Virtual destructors to make g++ 4 happy. * Changed rendering of text (using QPainter::drawImage). * Fixed bug #122 (shortcuts for actions were not disabled during drawing). * Fixed bug #123 (Fifi bleeding). * Fixed default setting of editor font (bug #131). * Fixed problem in JPEG importing on systems where char is signed. * Starting to make snapshots available between releases. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Ipe 6.0 preview 25 (2005-11-24) * Migrated to Qt 4.0.0 and switched to MinGW compiler on Windows. * Added smallest enclosing circle ipelet written by Chris Gray to the distribution. * Removed the 'Postscript' file format. The three Ipe file formats are now XML, PDF, and EPS. * 'void' is no longer allowed as a stroke color. To draw objects without boundary, use the new 'void' line style. This model allows for arrows without tails, and avoids problems with invisible text and marks. * If the style sheet contains a template with name "Background", this template will automatically be shown on each page. There is no need to explicitely create a reference on each page anymore. This replaces the old "background" layer + reference mechanism. * Templates containing bitmaps are now supported (bug #100). * Minipage objects now have a "Latex style" - common Latex environments can be used that way without having to type them every time. * When Ipe displays the Latex log file, it highlights the errors and scrolls automatically to the first one. * Ipe can now number pages visibly in the PDF output. * Resolution of bitmaps displayed on screen now configurable. * Default line cap, line join, and fill rule can now be defined in the style sheet. Object menu now shows them correctly (enhancement #79). * Ipe XML files can now have extension ".ipe" (enhancement #92). * Changes to stroke color of text objects are displayed immediately. * Option -runlatex for Ipetoipe (enhancement #88). * Loading and saving alternative formats replaced by auto-exporting. * Ipe XML parser now silently skips all tags whose name starts with "x-". This allows you to make XML files with more information, to be shared between other programs and Ipe (enhancement #110). * -nocolor option for ipetoipe (enhancement #107). * 'media' attribute is now in the <info> element, where it should have been all along. * Fixed building RPM from source RPM (bug #98, thanks to Laurent Rineau). * Fixed -lastview option in ipetoipe (introduced in pre23 but didn't actually work...) * No more support for KDE (it doesn't use Qt 4). * Fixed bug #86 (incorrect XML for textsize). * Fixed bug #116 (error in IpeBezier::Straight). * XML comments now use correct syntax <!-- ... --> . * "Ipe5toxml" is no longer automatically called. * Fixed bug #103 (comment in last line of text object). * Recognize alternative names of standard fonts used in libwmf (bug #109). * Fixed bug #77 (spaces in layer names). * Fixed bug #83 (editing a path lost arrows). * Fixed bug #102 (bookmark destinations were wrong). * Fixed bug #96 (vertical text caused Acrobat to fail opening PDF). * Removed handling of obsolete Ipe file versions in IpeImlParser. * A subpath consisting of a single moveto no longer causes Ipe to crash (but to fail an assertion). * Fixed bug #74 (New layer, new view keeps view settings). * "Last page" now goes to last page (not second-to-last one). * Snapping to center of arc works now. * Changed computation of dimmed colors (Qt's definition doesn't dim black at all). * Intersection snapping now works inside groups. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Ipe 6.0 preview 23 (2004-11-22) * Option for ipetoipe to save last view of each page only (#69). * Fixed bug #70 (wrong filename for ipe5toxml) * Fixed bug #71 (compiler warning in qvoronoi.cpp) * Fixed ASCII85 encoder (if # bytes was multiple of 4, no EOD marker was generated). Caused errors in Ghostscript, as reported by Jirka Matousek. * Bug #72 appears to be fixed. * Fixed bug #67 (splinegons with less than 3 control points). * Fixed bug #65 (changing attributes and visibility of layers does not cause "edited" status of page to be changed). * Added "figtoipe", an auxiliary program that converts figures in FIG format (as created by xfig) to Ipe format. * Fixed filename of "ipe5toxml" in Unix build. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Ipe 6.0 preview 22 (2004-09-07) * Fixed crash when cutting the only page. * Fixed handling of mark size, text size and mark shape in group objects. * Fixed bug #59: pasting didn't work on Unix. * Fixed bug #64: undo wasn't properly cleared. * Fixed bug #58: "Edit object" now in Edit menu. * Fixed enabling/disabling of keyboard shortcuts for edit menu. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Ipe 6.0 preview 21 * Fixed compilation on some Debian architectures. * Corrected default location of manpages (.../share/man/man1) * Saving page labels in PDF file. * Revised handling of shortcut keys completely. Shortcuts should now be recognized in any situation. * Fixed bug #54: Selecting objects no longer first snaps the cursor position. * Fixed bug #55: Edit path didn't show your options when started. * Don't create CropBox/ArtBox for entirely empty pages (crashes gpdf). * Added sections and subsections for multi-page documents (shown as "Bookmarks" in PDF readers). * Documented environment variables in man pages and manual. * Members of IpeView are now private. * Added -noshading option to ipetoipe. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Ipe 6.0 preview 20 * It now works to copy objects between Ipe and Emacs on Unix as well. * Added <cmap> tag to style sheet. * Fixed behavior of "stretch" on aligned mouse movements (also fixes bug #49). * Fixed crash in "Fit objects" when width or height is zero. * Fixed Postscript rendering of objects where stroke and fill color are identical (and not black). * Fixed rounding behavior of resolution when zooming in and out. * Fixed deletion of layer. * Removed hiding of layers. The difference between a hidden layer and a layer not in the current view was too confusing. * Page tools hidden when only one view exists. * Fixed rendering of selection on Unix. * Fixed oversized color tools. * Made grid size an integer. * Showing relative coordinates as well as absolute ones. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Ipe 6.0 preview 19 (2004-06-30) * Fixed crash in scissors. * Removed IPEDATADIR from options. * Moved documentation to /usr/share/doc in RPMs. * Generate /ToUnicode character maps if Cyberbit is used. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Ipe 6.0 preview 18 (2004-06-28) * Fixed crash when creating circle through three points. * Compilation against KDE libraries supported. This only adds very rudimentary KDE support, for instance Ipe now correctly switches style when the theme is changed in the KDE control center. * All personal Ipe configuration files are now in $HOME/.ipe * Added -debug command line flag. * Building source RPM and binary RPM for Fedora Core 2. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Ipe 6.0 preview 17 (2004-06-25) * Added man pages. * Fixed incorrect call to putenv (glibc has changed the semantics). * Removed dependence on Xpdf. Ipelib now contains the necessary code to parse and produce PDF as well as Postscript, so Ipelib clients can open any kind of Ipe document. * Removed pdftoipe from main Ipe distribution and packaged separately (it's still contained in the Windows distribution). * Fixed enormous memory leak in Ipebitmap destructor. * Directory for documentation is now configurable separately (for systems such as Debian where the natural place for documentation is in /usr/share/doc/ipe). * Ipe now displays current mouse position in user coordinates. * Split ipetoipe and ipetopng. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Ipe 6.0 preview 16 (2004-06-05) * Ipetoipe was not installed. * Ipe could not load its own figures because of a stupid typo. * Fixed a bug in scissors. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Ipe 6.0 preview 15 (2004-06-04) * Color changes in text objects (e.g. made using \textcolor) and quotient bars are now shown on screen. * Views (that is, page views) are now fully integrated in Ipe's main user interface. They are easier to create and maintain. * Views keep a record of the active layer, so that switching back to a view to edit it makes objects go in the right layer (usually). * Pressing the right mouse button in the layer list opens a context menu. * Changed handling of style-sheet stretching of text objects. The width/depth/height of text objects now correctly reflects this stretching, and when creating a minipage object, the user drags out the actual desired width. Unfortunately, this changes the semantics of Ipe documents! To make it possible to do this change automatically, the style sheet tag has been renamed from <textmatrix> to <textstretch> (with slightly changed syntax, see the manual). Currently, a simple automatic conversion is done: if the style sheet contains ANY textmatrix tag, the conversion factor is applied to the width of ALL text objects in the document. * Simple background shadings are now possible using <shading> in a style sheet. * Two new types of text objects defined. They are just variants of label and minipage. A new function 'Insert text object' creates textbox objects with fixed left and right margins (set in the style sheet). * Move-to-back function now inserts in front of anything in background layer. * Renamed the method NotifyStyle to CheckStyle. * Added a simple clipping ipelet (clips only marks and line segments to a convex polygon - just about enough to be useful for clipping Voronoi diagrams). * Fixed bug #42 (linewidth could be null in IpeBBoxPainter). * Ipe remembers file format used for saving. * Latex style files are now searched for both in the current directory and in the directory containing the Ipe document. * Command line option -geom WxH+X+Y (note the slight difference to X11, where the option is '-geometry'). Smarter zoom on opening documents. * Simplified handling of locked layers. A locked layer cannot be made the active layer now. * Each page stores the grid size used to create it. * Only one (global) media size per Ipe document. * Refactored Ipe program into separate model/canvas library. The Ipe canvas can be reused by programs wishing to display Ipe data. * Ipe file format conversion functionality (-topng, -topdf etc) has been moved into a separate program "ipetoipe". -------------------------------------------------------------------- Ipe 6.0 preview 14 (2004-04-30) * Changed display of grid as requested by Sariel Har-Peled. * Fixed bug #40 (atan2 DOMAIN bug on zero-length segments). * Changed to using dynamic Borland RTL (cc3250.dll) * Finally libipe is compiled as a DLL on Windows as well. * Fixed bug #28 again, differently, and hopefully really... * Disabled pasting bitmaps on Windows version - Qt crashes on certain bitmaps (perhaps GIF format bitmaps??) * Fixed serious bug that stopped Ipe from opening any figure containing bitmaps. * Fixed problem with templates not defined in current style sheet. * New 'templates' ipelet with simple functionality for making backgrounds for presentations. * Fixed bug #37 (Ipe now more accurately computes the bounding box stored in PDF output). * Added setting for infinite-edge length to qvoronoi ipelet, and fixed a crash when it is called without any sites. * Fixed divide by zero crash in arc drawing. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Ipe 6.0 preview 13 (2004-04-20) * Official Windows Ipe distribution is now compiled with free Borland C++ compiler. * Changed license to allow linking with CGAL. * In preferences dialog, one can now set the initial grid visibility, window maximizing, default paper size, and the default style sheet. * Style sheets can now define LaTeX preamble pieces. * Command line option to add a style sheet to new document. * "Insert image" moved to file menu, added inserting from clipboard. Ctrl+V will now paste a bitmap from the clipboard. * Fixed bug #1 (copied text has wrong textmatrix). * Fixed display of arrows on non-solid lines. * Fixed bug #13 (Symbolic attributes missing in the style sheet no longer cause Ipe to crash). * XML parser slightly improved, accepts XML comments <-- XXX -->. * Ipe now compiles on two different compilers without warnings. * Invisible text objects no longer break latex run. * Fixed bug #28 (Ipe5toxml couldn't run). * Notes on changing keyboard shortcuts (thanks to Kostas Oikonomou). * Fixed bug #38 (horizontal text alignment not preserved when reloading). * Fixed bug #26 (Ipe doesn't work with fptex). * Fixed compilation on Solaris and other Unixes (thanks to Kostas Oikonomou). * Improved C++ portability (thanks to Thomas J. Kacvinsky). Ipe should compile with Forte C++ now. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Ipe 6.0 preview 12 (2003-11-18) * Fixed bug #24: A pdfTeX/pdfeTeX mixup that stopped Ipe from working with MikTeX 2.4. * Documentation wasn't installed correctly. * According to Stefan Langerman, Mac OS X 10.3 changes name convention for dynamic libraries. Fixed in Ipe. * Fixed bug #18. The directory containing the Ipe file is now searched for Latex style files. (When using the -topdf etc options, the current directory is searched.) * Fixed bug #20, creation of arc/circle through three collinear points. * Added feature #22 (loading and modifying files for which pdf and eps versions exist). -------------------------------------------------------------------- Ipe 6.0 preview 11 (2003-11-06) * Patches by Stefan Langerman for Mac OS X. * Ipe installation automated with "make install". * Fixed serious problem that caused Ipe figures to crash printer or previewer when circles/arcs where used. * Fixed stroke color appearing incorrectly on screen when using anti-aliased text. * Fixed crash when snapping to intersection on zero-length segments * Fixed bugs in "Goodies/Precise box" * "Duplicate" now unselects old objects. * Fixed Ctrl+E leaving Ipe. * Fixed undocumented operator 'h'. * Fixed bug that caused menu to be dimmed when creating marks and labels. * Fixed bug #11 (Ipe closes without saving file). * It's no longer necessary to enter an extension when saving. Ipe will now use whatever is set as the filter in the dialog. * Fixed bug #12 (Arrows drawn with dotted linestyle). -------------------------------------------------------------------- Ipe 6.0 preview 10 (2003-04-14) * Changed calls to Freetype to be less dependant on Freetype version. Ipe should now work correctly with the Freetype version already on the system. * "runlatex.bat" created with CRLF * Support for multi-key sequences if compiled with Qt 3.1. * Paragraph input dialog comes up with focus. * Function to move objects to current layer (in Layer menu). * Fixed bounding box of marks. * Added "What's this" to snap buttons. * Fixed handling of text matrix (with "presentation.xml" style sheet). * Copy and paste for images fixed. * Copy and paste for whole pages implemented. * Ipe is now usable with two-button mouse (see manual section "Mouse shortcuts") * Images will only be embedded once, even if they have been inserted several times from the same file. * Using system fontmap if available, otherwise allow installer to specify Ipe fontmap. See "install.txt" for instructions. * Style sheet dialog. * Anti-aliased text. * Can change font of Latex source input fields. * Zoom spinbox buttons behave more reasonably. * Keyboard shortcuts for ipelets possible (and used by align ipelet) * Copy and paste of Unicode text works now. * Ipe checks for not matching header files/library version for libipe and libfreetype. * Large bitmaps are rendered at lower resolution to speed up redisplay. * Reference point of text objects can be chosen, including baseline position. * Edit and Ungroup now available in Edit menu. * Ipelet/Align supports baseline alignment. * Pasting text creates a text object. * Displaying closed paths on-screen uses line-join properly now. * When saving a file, Ipe runs Pdflatex only if it's necessary. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Ipe 6.0 preview 9 (2003-03-26) * Compression option in Preferences is now a single checkbox. * Function to save current page as bitmap (can also be called from command line as -topng). * Fixed behaviour when switching between absolute and symbolic attributes. Introduced separate switch for grid size and angle. * Fixed masks for toolbar icons. * Finished handling of images. They are now finally embedded efficiently in PDF documents (that is, not once in PDF format and once in XML format). * Text objects can now be transformed (rotated, stretched, and scaled). * Support for magnified text in presentations (see section on Style Sheets in the manual). * Fixed size selection of Ipe window on start-up. * Goodies ipelet: Function "Create mediabox" added. * Support for Ipe localization added. Can also be used to change the keyboard shortcuts. * Fixed origin of stretch/scale. * "Select all" retains primary selection. * Keyboard shortcuts can be configured (see section "Customizing Ipe" in the manual). * Width of paragraph objects can be changed (in object menu). * Snapping functions F3 and Shift-F3 implemented. * In snapping functions F1 and F2, angular snapping is now off. * Object menu button finds near object if primary selection is far from mouse. * 'Normal size' function implemented according to Rene's suggestion. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Ipe 6.0 preview 7 (2003-03-14) * Voronoi diagram ipelet * Invisible layers are hidden in default PDF presentation * Zlib no longer included in source distribution, upgraded to zlib 1.1.4 in Windows distribution. * Text objects have no snapping. * Inserting JPEG images is now supported. * Inserting bitmap images compresses the bitmap (makes PDF, EPS, and XML files smaller). -------------------------------------------------------------------- Ipe 6.0 preview 4 (2003-02-28) * First public release of Ipe 6.0 -------------------------------------------------------------------- Ipe 5.0 August 15, 1994 * rewrote Ipe to run under the X window system, and ported to HP7xx systems and Sun SparcStations. * the user interface is now based on Motif. * there are two versions of the canvas, one using gl and my previous code, the other using plain X calls. This version, however, needs to allocate a large number of color cells to implement an overlay plane with double buffering (which gives much smoother drawing). * added fields showing the name of the last operation and the keyboard shortcut. * the Ium interface now handles -input and -file, and is capable of making this persistent. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Ipe 4.1 July 5, 1994 * fixed bugs introduced with the transition to PLAGEO 2.0. * changed calling of Iums so that the same Ipe binary works under irix 4.0.5 and irix 5.x. * the windows are now redrawn while loading and saving files. * moved more complicated Iums out of standard Ipe distribution and put the documentation on my www page (the world wide Ipe home page), instead of in the Ipe documentation. This will make it easier and more convenient to update the set of Iums for non-local users. * the executable for a Ium is now required to have the file extension .ium. * the height of the bounding box shown for minipages is now computed through LaTeX. Only the width is part of the minipage's definition. * added Segments object type, to compactify Ipe files containing lots of strokes of the same type (which typically arise in mechanically created drawings). * fixed up manual and index. * added blueadj and display options for mipe.cls. * changed style files and documentation to conform to LaTeX2e. * font sizes are now defined as floats, so we can use real LaTeX font sizes. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Ipe 4.0 March 8, 1994 * the Ipe file format is now at the same time an encapsulated Postscript file (eps), and it can be included without any package support. The style file ipe.sty is now only necessary for scaling or other non-standard behavior. * Text and Mark objects can now be invisible, like any other object. * when creating a Minipage object, you first have to drag out a bounding rectangle. * when previewing a single page that does not contain any text object, Latex is not run anymore. * introduced UndoLimit configuration variable and statistics function (in misc menu). * fixed treatment of linewidth for Postscript importing. * made changes necessary to use PLAGEO 2.0. * while loading a file, the new Latex preamble is now already in effect. But: this is now also true when inserting a file. After insertion, the preamble of the containing file is used again. This may become confusing. * the center of the drawing is now mapped to (300bp,400bp), so that printing the Ipe file directly will roughly center it on a4 or letter style paper. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Ipe 3.2 February 10, 1994 * made Ipe into a ``package'' (this concerns some changes in our local installation.) * the manual is now in a reasonable shape * added ``Ipe user objects'', the possibility to specify an Ipe file as a ``user macro''. * added "With Prologue" button and code. * added arrows for splines (back). -------------------------------------------------------------------- Ipe 3.1 February 1, 1994 * rewrote the spline code. Ipe now has a full spline object type, supports snapping to splines, and has a clearer interface. * the pop up bit-planes are now managed via redraw events. The interface is much clearer. Made colors that are used in pop up planes user-definable. * added directional snapping modes. * made mouse-explainer work for forms objects and with Shift and Ctrl keys. * put documentation in html document. * added some Ipe user macros for handling bitmaps, based on the "lug" graphics utilities library by Raul Rivero. * changed handling for calling Iums. Ipe will now redraw while waiting for a Ium to finish, and the ESC button can be used to cancel a Ium. * added a Ium for polygon approximation. * added reading and writing of raw bitmaps when communicating with Iums. * added a contour tracer for the Bitmap Ipe user macro. * added MakeBackups option. * when Ipe is killed and the drawing is not saved, Ipe will now save it in #unsaved.ipe#. * added Iums to call imged, imgworks, and xpaint. * "preview page" and "preview all" now use different temporary files, so they will not collide any more. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Ipe 3.0 January 1, 1994 * fixed bug in Postscript prologue that made coexistence of ipe.sty and epsf.sty in same LaTeX-file difficult * Now Ipe does not crash anymore when the Ghostscript window is deleted from the window manager. The next time that preview is called, a new Ghostscript window is created. * revised the handling of keyboard and menu events. They are now table-driven, and controlled by a single subroutine. * reintroduced the Zoom & Pan mode for synchronizing the Ghostscript window. It is much more convenient than the fully dynamic mode. * added a documented .iperc file format. Ipe will no longer start up without such a configuration file (but you can specify a different one using the -n flag). * Line widths, font sizes, grid sizes and the like are now all defined in the configuration file. There is no new line style function anymore, and no save configuration option. All counters are replaced by choice objects. * added type-driven selection mode. If the Ctrl key is pressed when selecting objects with the right mouse button, only objects of the currently active type are considered. The same works for M-C-a. * added interface to Ipe user macros, and moved several rarely used functions and the import functions into Iums. * export Idraw has disappeared for the time being. I have never actually used this feature yet, and it's a mess, since all interesting pictures have some elements that Idraw doesn't understand. * wrote several pretty simple Iums based on existing plageo or leda code. Currently available are convex hulls, Voronoi diagrams, and clipping of polygonal objects. * revised the snapping concept, introduced priorities, and made peaceful coexistence of angular and boundary snapping possible. * Rotate, Scale, and Stretch are now available using a modifier key and the mouse. Their buttons have disappeared, since these operations are not actually object types, and there should not be such an ``object type.'' * added delete function, that deletes objects without placing them in the cut buffer. * added keys C-d and r for the polygonal objects edit mode, and key C-d for line entry. * there is now a panning function. This was necessary because of the multi-page mode, were the template has to remain aligned with respect to all pages. * the snap to intersection point function now recognizes self intersections of polygonal chains. Also added a button to control snapping to object itself during editing and entry of polygonal objects. * added Fifi, a little marker that accompanies the cursor and shows the current snapping. * Ipe now does not crash anymore when the background Latex process for finding bounding boxes wants to read another file. * added bitmap object type, and a Ium to read in Silicon Graphics .rgb format files as bitmaps. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Ipe 2.4 December 3, 1993 * fixed bug in text yank that made Ipe crash * added multi-page mode * when undo is turned off in the configuration panel, the storage currently used by the undo buffer is released * the saved properties now do not contain a description of the data. If you use the edit properties function, you are supposed to know what you are doing. * changed keyboard shortcuts to cohere to IES (International Emacs Standard) * changed layout of configuration form to fit better with main form * added configuration option to disable drawing of filled splines. This is much faster than the default behavior. * Zoom now has a logarithmic scale, and different interface. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Ipe 2.3 August 11, 1993 * scale and rotate now use center of object by default. * fixed bug in precise scale * added second input mode for arcs, using center of circle * added arrows on arcs * made Latex preamble for previewing and printing user-definable * bounding box for text objects is now computed by Latex * fixed two severe bugs that caused Ipe to eat up memory * put help information into a Texinfo file * made Control-middle button shortcut for scale/stretch * added Ghostscript previewer that runs in background * added importing Postscript files * changed all fixed limits to rerays, to make sure that arbitrary Postscript files that can be read won't make Ipe crash * allow filled non-simple polygons * added snapping to intersection points -------------------------------------------------------------------- Ipe 2.2 August 1, 1993 * added circular arc object type * added minipage version of text objects * added support for splines. * circles now behave properly when stretched and become ellipses * more color buttons, click with left and right mouse for fill and stroke -------------------------------------------------------------------- Ipe 2.1 July 28, 1993 * snapping to other objects * viewing and editing object properties * parameter form to change the configuration * changed layout of form * added icons for object type buttons * added field showing arrow/line style choice -------------------------------------------------------------------- Ipe 2.0 July 14, 1993 * This is the first version of Ipe. It is version 2.0 to distinguish the Ipe file format from the format generated by "ipefy". -------------------------------------------------------------------- |
