What's new in PatternGenerator 2.2
Sep 16, 2020
- OTHER CHANGES:
- SVG files that are generated from a Pattern 2 no longer have a document-type declaration (DTD).
New in PatternGenerator 2.1 (Nov 5, 2017)
- Bug: Since Java 9, if the 'Select text when focus is gained' preference has the value 'Yes', the selection of a text field remains highlighted after the field loses keyboard focus.
New in PatternGenerator 2.0 (Oct 25, 2017)
- BUG FIXES:
- Bug: Transparency is not handled by the colour buttons of the Pattern 2 parameter dialog.
- OTHER CHANGES:
- The colours of Pattern 2 now have an alpha channel (ie, they may have a variable amount of transparency).
New in PatternGenerator 1.5 (Sep 19, 2014)
- Bug fixes:
- Bug: The program failed to detect the modification of an open document by another program.
- Bug: After cancelling an attempt to close a document with the Close button ('X' icon) of the document's tab, the Close button became unresponsive.
New in PatternGenerator 1.4 (Mar 14, 2014)
- The ability to export a Pattern 2 as a Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) file has been added.
New in PatternGenerator 1.3 (Sep 30, 2013)
- Bug fixes:
- Bug: If some kinds of exception occurred when the program was exiting, the program was prevented from exiting normally.
- Bug: If the general.showUnixPathnames configuration property was true, the user's home directory at the start of a pathname was not replaced with "~" when the pathname was displayed.
- Other changes:
- The default directory for the configuration file under Windows has been changed from %USERPROFILE%\.blankaspect\patternGenerator to %APPDATA%\blankaspect\patternGenerator, where %USERPROFILE% and %APPDATA% are system environment variables. (The default directory for the configuration file under Linux/UNIX is unchanged.) If you are updating PatternGenerator and you want to keep your old configuration, you should move the old configuration file to the new directory.
- There is now an installer that can be used to install the contents of the executable distribution to user-specified directories. The installer will replace any existing file that has the same name as an installed file except for a configuration file, whose properties will be preserved if they conflict with the properties of the new file.
- A value of zero is now allowed for the configuration properties pattern.numSlideShowThreads.pattern1, pattern.numSlideShowThreads.pattern2 and pattern1.numRenderingThreads. In all cases, a value of zero means that the number of threads will be set to the number of processors that are available to the system.
- A document can no longer be closed by clicking the right mouse button on the Close button of a tab of the tabbed panel of the main window.
New in PatternGenerator 1.2 (Jun 17, 2013)
- Bug fixes:
- A bug that could cause the values of some configuration properties to be saved incorrectly has been fixed. (Previously, characters such as "&" that correspond to predefined entities in XML were escaped twice in the value attribute of properties when a configuration file was saved.)
