Bricscad Changelog

What's new in Bricscad 10.4.4 Beta

May 18, 2010
  • Fixes:
  • Printing is now available.
  • Improved error handling for OLE objects, which are not supported on linux. An error message will now be displayed instead of silent undefined behavior.
  • Improved installer: The target architecture of .deb installer is now set to "all" so it can be run on a 64bit system as well. The executable permission of bricscad and bricscad.sh is corrected in the .tgz download. The argument passing in bricscad.sh has been modified.
  • The default application menu was made slightly different on linux: it contains no VBA items, no Tablet items, no OLE items.
  • The 'Help' command now opens the online help url in an external browser.
  • Enabled splash screen.
  • Fixed recent file list.
  • Fixed an issue with the toolbar and menu customization menu. This menu should appear when right clicking on a toolbar or on the application menu. However, it appeared when right clicking nearly anywhere.
  • Known issues:
  • A new pc3 file cannot be generated yet. As a result, the target Printer/Plotter Configuration "None (uses default)" cannot be used.
  • When starting Bricscad from terminal, this error message may appear: "Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_drawable_get_depth: assertion `GDK_IS_DRAWABLE (drawable)' failed".
  • Fonts are not yet added to the installation.
  • Toolbars cannot always be properly moved or docked. The application may crash when a toolbar is undocked/docked. A toolbar may become hidden behind the main application screen.
  • The background color of icons is wrong in the layer dropdown and in the drawing explorer: the icon background is grey or black instead of transparent.
  • Icons of flyout toolbars are not entirely visible.
  • In the settings dialog, previews are not visible and the layout of the description is incorrect until the settings dialog is resized.
  • When changing the background color of the main graphics window, the background is not refreshed immediately and the foreground color may not be adjusted to differ from the background color.
  • Scrollbars cannot be displayed in the main graphics window yet. When enabling scrollbars, the application can crash.
  • In some cases the numpad enter key is not processed correctly. In that case, the character "Ų" may appear. This happens for instance, but not exclusively, during the TEXT command.
  • The COPYCLIP window and the Bricscad Prompt History window appear as a separate application in the application bar.
