  • Item text can be interpreted by Aibase as quantity (number, money or physical quantity)
  • Script (in Aimo) can access (read and change) the quantities.
  • List of supported quantities
  • New object type: Aimo (Aibase Input-Model-Output) as script-container (for calculations and others)
  • Aimos are special tables (with script-cell and data-cells) which can placed in the canvas.
  • The script (Python 3) can be run by menu command. Aimo data and other quantities,
  • elsewhere in the same document, can be used in the script.
  • Alternatively, an invisible Aimo can be attached to an object (table, item);
  • this Aimo can read and change quantities in the owning object (table, item) and document.
  • The script is also able to use (import) external Python (v3) modules.
  • Python has a large community, also in education and science, for example SymPy.
  • Optional Link-Board (with board-links) per document at the bottom of the view.
  • Board-links are similar to links in other list-views. They don't scroll with the canvas, ie. they are always visible. Board-links are thought to be more unrelated or link-duplicates (if the document is large). They can optimize the navigation to larger overviews, or to other chapters of the same level, or to Aibase help-docs (just tech-relational).
  • The maximum height of the board is 3 lines (one board page; several links per line). Adding more links will result in more board-pages; a page-button can be clicked to show the next board-page, and so on.
  • Any prefix can be added to the document-label (label = prefix (category) + tail (in sync with doc-title))
  • A prominent example is the "Script: " prefix in many help documents.
  • Html-export: Maximum Web-page-width can be defined, and Web page will be centered in browser.
  • Aibase Help will start in a separate help-window (for concurrent view). And all help-links (located in any window) will target the help-window.
  • Extended: On an item, Ctrl+Up (or Down) shows the insert-position (to grow a list) even if the item has no parent-object yet. For example, Ctrl+Up on the single item in a table-cell shows the position to insert prior siblings (new item (Ins) or paste (V)). (Hint: Ctrl+Enter (does the same as Ctrl+Down, followed by Ins) works in old versions as well)
  • Any N-Line (superline) can contain links to other N-Lines (sublines). In the N-Line dialog, when you display the linked subline, it will replace the superline display; later you can return back to the superline display. N-Line navigation automatically includes sublines.
  • The symbol-dialog (and character-dialog) shows information about the text-character selected in the document.
  • Improved: Windows which started with maximized size in older versions, now start with their last size.
  • Improved: Show list of print-pages (indexed by row, column) in the printer-queue system-window.

New in Aibase 3.6.9.0 (May 19, 2016)

  • Increased the file count limit (was 65k) per export-package to billions.
  • Added: Item / head / pen
  • Added some functionality related to MathML (see FAQ)
  • Changed: Equation draw more antialiased.
  • Changed: Equation-edit start exclusively by spacebar or menu.
  • Added: Ctrl+E for tree-decoration dialog (streak, subframe, ribbon)
  • Added: F3 for pasting in color (spectrum) dialog
  • Changed initial canvas-size (leading to a larger scroll-button size)
  • Added: Panel: Invisible caption, field corner, edge.
  • Enhanced: Copy links from other apps.
  • Added: Item / frame / edge
  • Changed to highest shape-edge-quality.
  • Added: Step connector / pen / end-joined connectors (for merged end-draw)
  • Added: Tree / sub-pane / sub-frame / ribbon (left side)
  • More dialogs hide their preceding dialogs to see more document area.
  • Added: Auto-colors (intensity) for subframe and listmarker
  • Changed the LB-shortcut "Ctrl+Space" to "Ctrl+F7"
  • Changed nested-subframe draw when colors are different (no right-side overdraw)
  • Added: Aibase settings / window elements / toolbar / color changeable
  • Added: Aibase settings / canvas text / highlight-color darkness
  • Adjusted: Easier attaching several connectors to the same port (position).
  • Added: Straight connector / taper-form
  • Added: Straight connector / pen / linear gradient / auto direction
  • Added: Select the straight connector and press Plus (or Minus) to change the bending-size.
  • Added: Item, table, panel / effect (still todo: SVG-export)
  • Changed: Step connector: Corner-symbol visible only after F6, or if segment is already oblique.
  • More options for TC Link: Sensitive text before symbol. Symbol can be invisible.
  • Changed: Longer selective line-draw in tree (more similar to Aibase 1).
  • Changed: Domain export, checkout have less restrictive start-conditions.
  • New in Aibase 2:
  • Inplace Edit: Select an image, press F8 and edit the Aibase document inside the image.
  • Select an image and show a different slide by F12 (forward), Shift+F12 (backward).
  • "Tunnel Navigation" in note: Ctrl+PageDown inside the note view will close the current note and show the next note. This is a shortcut for selecting the next object in the main canvas.
  • "Tunnel Navigation" in main canvas: Ctrl+PageDown will show the next document. This is a shortcut for the sequence: Go to the Pre-Doc, select the next object in the current list (tree) and press F2.
  • More arrow-types for connectors.
  • Arrows for curves (the same as for connectors).
  • Trees are more powerful: Tables and panels can also have sub objects (items, tables, panels)
  • New table layout "First cell is caption" (Top caption is invisible)
  • This layout is also needed for a planned meta-table concept, which will be implemented in later versions. By implementing a meta-table concept, a tree of tables will be usable as tree with columns - very easy to use and extremely powerful. This concept will also allow very flexible hierarchical spreadsheets.)
  • The table-cell dialog shows changes immediately in the document.
  • More object-alignments (mid-y) inside table-cell.
  • The step-connector can also have oblique end-segments.
  • Step-connector label-position is more changeable: on-line, which segment
  • Subtle design-optimization: apply auto-treeSpacing more uniform (looks better)
  • Subtle design-optimization: placeholder-head invisible in cell or frame (removes unused height)
  • Subtle design-optimization: sub-item/pane get content-width, visually. In Aibase 1, all nested sub-items and sub-panes shared the same right-side coordinate with the topmost tree. Only a more flexible design can match with future structures (eg table tree).
  • Base path for relative links (to special documents) can be set in Aibase settings.
  • Change in terminology: "Partial-Base" instead of "Mobile-Base"
  • Aibase can run on a portable disk without restrictions. The user can copy the Aibase folder (program and all data) to a portable disk and insert the disk into any computer at the office, at home or elsewhere.
  • Aibase 2 continues to run on all systems supported by Aibase 1.
  • Minimized user action for restoring a backup from an Aibase package:
  • A virus or disk damage can be no threat to Aibase as long as the user has a backup package. New is that Aibase will automatically find and restore all affected documents by a single button-click.

New in Aibase 2.4.8.0 (Nov 10, 2009)

  • Added: Item / head / pen
  • Added some functionality related to MathML (see FAQ)
  • Changed: Equation draw more antialiased.
  • Changed: Equation-edit start exclusively by spacebar or menu.
  • Added: Ctrl+E for tree-decoration dialog (streak, subframe, ribbon)
  • Added: F3 for pasting in color (spectrum) dialog
  • Changed initial canvas-size (leading to a larger scroll-button size)
  • Added: Panel: Invisible caption, field corner, edge.
  • Enhanced: Copy links from other apps.
  • Added: Item / frame / edge
  • Changed to highest shape-edge-quality.
  • Added: Step connector / pen / end-joined connectors (for merged end-draw)
  • Added: Tree / sub-pane / sub-frame / ribbon (left side)
  • More dialogs hide their preceding dialogs to see more document area.
  • Added: Auto-colors (intensity) for subframe and listmarker
  • Changed the LB-shortcut "Ctrl+Space" to "Ctrl+F7"
  • Changed nested-subframe draw when colors are different (no right-side overdraw)
  • Added: Aibase settings / window elements / toolbar / color changeable
  • Added: Aibase settings / canvas text / highlight-color darkness
  • Adjusted: Easier attaching several connectors to the same port (position).
  • Added: Straight connector / taper-form
  • Added: Straight connector / pen / linear gradient / auto direction
  • Added: Select the straight connector and press Plus (or Minus) to change the bending-size.
  • Added: Item, table, panel / effect (still todo: SVG-export)
  • Changed: Step connector: Corner-symbol visible only after F6, or if segment is already oblique.
  • More options for TC Link: Sensitive text before symbol. Symbol can be invisible.
  • Changed: Longer selective line-draw in tree (more similar to Aibase 1).
  • Changed: Domain export, checkout have less restrictive start-conditions.
  • New:
  • Inplace Edit: Select an image, press F8 and edit the Aibase document inside the image.
  • Select an image and show a different slide by F12 (forward), Shift+F12 (backward).
  • "Tunnel Navigation" in note: Ctrl+PageDown inside the note view will close the current note and show the next note. This is a shortcut for selecting the next object in the main canvas.
  • "Tunnel Navigation" in main canvas: Ctrl+PageDown will show the next document. This is a shortcut for the sequence: Go to the Pre-Doc, select the next object in the current list (tree) and press F2.
  • More arrow-types for connectors.
  • Arrows for curves (the same as for connectors).
  • Trees are more powerful: Tables and panels can also have sub objects (items, tables, panels)
  • New table layout "First cell is caption" (Top caption is invisible)
  • (This layout is also needed for a planned meta-table concept, which will be implemented in later versions. By implementing a meta-table concept, a tree of tables will be usable as tree with columns - very easy to use and extremely powerful. This concept will also allow very flexible hierarchical spreadsheets.)
  • The table-cell dialog shows changes immediately in the document.
  • More object-alignments (mid-y) inside table-cell.
  • The step-connector can also have oblique end-segments.
  • Step-connector label-position is more changeable: on-line, which segment
  • Subtle design-optimization: apply auto-treeSpacing more uniform (looks better)
  • Subtle design-optimization: placeholder-head invisible in cell or frame (removes unused height)
  • Subtle design-optimization: sub-item/pane get content-width, visually. In Aibase 1, all nested sub-items and sub-panes shared the same right-side coordinate with the topmost tree. Only a more flexible design can match with future structures (eg table tree).
  • Base path for relative links (to special documents) can be set in Aibase settings.
  • Change in terminology: "Partial-Base" instead of "Mobile-Base"
  • Aibase can run on a portable disk without restrictions. The user can copy the Aibase folder (program and all data) to a portable disk and insert the disk into any computer at the office, at home or elsewhere.
  • Aibase 2 continues to run on all systems supported by Aibase 1.
  • Minimized user action for restoring a backup from an Aibase package:
  • A virus or disk damage can be no threat to Aibase as long as the user has a backup package. New is that Aibase will automatically find and restore all affected documents by a single button-click.
