Version 2024.11.12

Release Notes

Version 2024.09.25

Release Notes

• ASH: copy, paste commands.
• Allow for canvas color alphas: background color, dots / grids color, lock color, selection color, source text color, wire color.
• Arrow object and background color alpha; in addition to transparency property!
• Awesome button colors.
• Bold ASH text.
• Corrected glitch.pro. Deleting debug plugins may delete required plugins files in the Windows install target. Qt 6.5 LTS has separated the debug and release files and the additional logic in glitch.pro is not necessary.
• Ctrl + W and docked property editors. Duplicating shortcuts causes problems.
• Default Arduino IDE of /usr/bin/arduino on Linux.
• Display icons of dragged objects.
• Fewer changed() signals during the saving of a diagram.
• LTS release!
• Many constants.
• Object background color alpha.
• Pasting into a canvas preview is now natural. Previously, a paste event's coordinates would be translated.
• Pasting into a view will not require a mouse click event.
• Save periodically. New Edit -> Canvas Settings -> Project -> Save Periodically.
• The Windows bundle includes some additional revisions. Please read 2024.09.25...master.
• Twenty years of Glitch!

Version 2024.07.30

Release Notes

• Allow categories to exist in their own floating dialogs. Dialogs are available via context menus.
• Constant variables and paint events.
• Drag-and-drop: display an item's icon if the item is ready for a drag.

Version 2024.06.05

Release Notes

• Corrected dragging and dropping of multiple items. The current implementation creates multiple copies of a single item.
• Dragging a category onto a canvas will cause an abnormal termination because the category's parent() object does not exist because a category is a top-level item.
• First Apple Silicon release.
• LTS release!
• Redo / undo history panel.
• Serial port in the PowerPC distribution.
• Source Preview Close icon.
• The Apple Silicon release is not signed and may therefore be tarnished.

• Do not generate a canvas's source view unless a Source View window is visible.
• Floating source preview for child items.
• Inspect scene() results. Curious mishaps.
