February 11th, 2009· With this release, on-screen graphics can be incrementally repainted on demand.
· In addition, functions for exactly tracking all leap seconds have been added, and some currency codes have been updated.
December 7th, 2008· This release contains several minor improvements and bugfixes.
· Graphics can now be printed in a "tiled" fashion across several pieces of paper.
· Some issues with printing polygons were improved.
· Several currency codes were updated.
· Array manipulation methods were added.
· Fundamental physical constants were updated to 2006 CODATA figures.
· Rendering background colors to image files was fixed.
· In addition, fixes were made to formatting of intervals and for the leap second that will be added at the end of 2008.
October 22nd, 2008· This release allows text to be aligned to various sides (left, right, top, bottom, etc.) in Frink's new graphics library.
· In addition, an issue with not repainting a graphics window the first time it was maximized has been fixed.
October 16th, 2008· This release adds the ability to draw high-quality text to Frink's new graphics capabilities.
· Text has high-quality, anti-aliased edges, fully supports transparency, and can be automatically scaled along with an image, or can be rendered at a constant size.
· Text and graphics can also be rendered into various image file formats including JPEG, PNG, and SVG, or printed to a printer.
October 9th, 2008· This is a major release that allows Frink to draw high-quality graphics.
· Graphics can be displayed to the screen, printed to printers, or rendered to a variety of image formats.
· Lines and shapes are anti-aliased and support full transparency.
· Graphics are designed to be scalable to any size without loss of quality.
· In addition, lengths can be specified on drawings, allowing printing of graphics at an exact size.
September 2nd, 2008· This release fixes some small problems with starting in programming mode.
· The Swing-based GUI is now considered the preferred version, and the Swing-based Java Web Start file will ask to make file associations for .frink files.
· In addition, the factoring and primality testing functions were cleaned up and a nextPrime[n] function was added to somewhat efficiently find the next prime following a given number.
