Techne CAD/CAM full changelog

For the Oval type cut the toolpath generated when using either a specified offset or designating inside/outside the oval was using double the correct offset value.
For Oval when manually entering the X,Y position of the cut, the values could update incorrectly when the entry field lost focus.
For many of the cuts when using the editor to manually enter information the cut information would update even when the underlying value did not change. This did not cause an error, but when looking at the undo/redo command list there would be multiple entries that did nothing.

The Cut List docking pane could be closed without a way to reopen it and the pane state was serialized to the registry so it would remain closed even after restart. The pane will now always be visible on startup (an assumption that it being closed is a rare event) and its visibility can be toggled via menu command.

Added comment to toolpath file warning if the origin is offset.
A couple of spelling corrections.
This is a release candidate. Debugging code turned off

Snap to grid fixed.

The snap to grid option would snap to the tick mark even when tick marks were turned off. Added ability to add or remove cuts from an existing group cut.

For non-pocket/non-filled cuts that have islands, previously the boundary would be machined first, then the islands. Now islands are machined first.
The initialization of the DirectX interface moved to OnCreate. Should prevent display of white screen with DirectX warning message briefly showing during startup.
The machine configuration option to use variable speed spindle was not storing choice

The tool library was not displaying the bitmap for the calculator symbol, or the copy to clipboard bitmap.
The tool library was not saving if the setting was set for a particular tool to have all its settings the same and for it to use all materials.
Clarified in documentation that for VBit style tools, the angle is measured from edge to edge, not relative to the center of the tool.
When generating tool profiles for use in the 3D preview, some of the algorithms made sloppy approximations, now mathematically correct.
The ellipse computation was doubling the origin position.
The arc computation was using overly lenient tolerance values when computing non-toolpath data. Showed when display polygons with rounded corners.

When zooming in the design view, the zoom would not be smooth. Also added that when zooming using the mouse wheel, the zoom will be focused on the position of the cursor
For drill type cuts where the user specified the diameter of the holes, the code would previously generate a line based toolpath. It will now use arc commands to make the holes
Can use the middle mouse button to pan

The machine configuration options were not calculating equality correctly, may have affected whether configurations would have been stored correctly.
Adding multi-language support. Created string translation class.
The tool setup dialog, speed and feed was showing default entry twice in some circumstances.
Replaced auto_ptr use with unique_ptr
Upgraded the boost library to the most recent as of 12/2/2013
Did changes to many of the Techne library file formats. Added a timestamp for when the file was last saved. This is used in conjunction with a syncrhonization option for use in a forthcoming program Techne 3D. This will allow the two programs to optionally use the same tool library, machine configuration, etc but maintain separate files.
Shifted many files into a common use location so that they can be shared by multiple projects. Not only useful for maintenance purposes, but allows the file formats used by many data libraries to be maintained accross different programs.

· The ability to override the default toolpath settings on a cut by cut basis would not store a change to the cut depth. The underlying error would have existed for many of the property sheet style dialogs. Changes were only updated to a given page when another tab was selected before hitting the OK button.
