  • The default font is "dialog" again, but can be changed.
  • The downloads come from our server.

New in C.a.R. 9.1 (Feb 11, 2010)

  • Implemented display for rational trigonometry. Segments and circles display as quadrances, and angles as spreads.
  • Function q(x) to convert distances into quadrances (returning x*x).
  • Function s(t) to convert an angle t to a spread (returning sin(t)^2).
  • Elements can now be displayed as fractions.
  • New object: conic section from equation. Ctrl-click the quadric icon for a test. Make sure, you enter a quadratic function as the expression of the conic section.
  • Conic section can now be defined by points and tangential directions in the points. Select a line after a point for this.

New in C.a.R. 9.0 (Feb 11, 2010)

  • Moved C.a.R. to Sourceforge.
  • Conditional formatting for polygons.
  • Greek translation by Giorgos Vasilopoulos.
  • Ticks on segments and angles.
  • Invisible macro objects no longer used as job targets.
  • Export dialog now remembers switching off icon for macro definition.
  • More than one applet on one HTML page (not recommended!) works more stable now.
  • Unlimited colors are now possible. Enable the button for this in the icon bar, if you want to set an own default color.
  • Fixed zeros sets with functions which are invalid at some points.
  • Error from 8.82 with exp function.
  • Error in macro execution, when the target was a bound point, and an intersection was created.
  • Expressions with numbers in exponential format.
  • Expressions, which are macro targets, are now visible.
  • User functions in macros, which depend on other objects, now work as expected.

New in C.a.R. 8.8 (Feb 11, 2010)

  • The grid is now a bit lighter.
  • Improvements in Portuguese translation.
  • Translation to Thai. Thanks to Waravut Butrat!
  • I had to restrict the dragging of parallels and perpendicular lines, since the side effects were too frightening.
  • Removed problem with the change from 8.74.
  • Fixed the English documentation.
  • List of construction elements is on by default.
  • Default for button "More ..." is "on".
  • Tried to fix problem with tooltips in dialogs under OS X.
  • New Dutch translation (thanks to Jan van Hee),
  • Colors for the applets and its shadow can now differ (parameter colorshadow). This is necessary, if the applet has a different color as the web page, and has a shadow.
  • Colors in applet parameters can now have the form "#FFFFFF".
  • integrate, diff, zero, min and max now work for user defined functions too.

New in C.a.R. 8.7 (Feb 11, 2010)

  • Improved the algorithm to compute zero sets of functions of two variables.
  • Problem with 1 or 3 parameters fixed.

New in C.a.R. 8.6 (Feb 11, 2010)

  • By default, applets have a shadow now (can be hidden).
  • Tutorial pages now have a new style.

New in C.a.R. 8.4 (Feb 11, 2010)

  • RSS Feed for C.a.R.
  • New color selector for system colors
  • Expressions can be check boxes with 0/1 value.
  • HTML export now uses XHTML.
  • Small icons can now be set for applets in export dialog.
  • In HTML export zirkel.jar can be copied to destination automatically.
  • Fixed the user directory for Windows Vista.
  • Fixed angle size in print preview.
  • Warning message in non-visual mode, when the mouse is used.
  • Macros can be iterated.
  • The size of the construction area can be set in pixels.

New in C.a.R. 8.3 (Feb 11, 2010)

  • It is now possible to replace objects by other objects of the same type. E.g., intersections can be replaced by free points.

New in C.a.R. 8.2 (Feb 11, 2010)

  • Solving a job and moving objects led to unexpected behavior.
  • The checked job targets have now a darker color than the no checked targets.

New in C.a.R. 8.1 (Feb 11, 2010)

  • The label export to SVG did not work, and also the new point style.

New in C.a.R. 8.0 (Feb 11, 2010)

  • Increased the defaults for the minimal point and font size, and the line width to give constructions a better and more solid look.
  • Arrows with solid heads.
  • Points in normal thickness are now drawn on top and filled with background. This can be switched off for each point and by default.
  • Option to set points to a large size.
  • Areas and filled circles can now be filled with the background color (painted on top of other objects).
  • It is now possible to draw the zero set of a function in two variables. Use a user function with two variables for this.
  • The edit tool no longer needs the shift key. Finish with a double click.
  • The maximized state for the program window is now saved. The object list no longer changes the window size.
