Hi,

Just finished uploading the final release of 5.0.1.37 and 4.1.6.37. A great
number of changes and fixes. Thanks to everyone who helped test this release.

Enjoy!

Deron Kazmaier

Recorded changes to .37:
+ Arrows on lines with short curves or short line segments will now do a
reasonable job.
However, it is not perfect and may not be for some time. Editing the
path will create
better results.
+ Added /@ to search for page number commands in text.

+ Arrow output to postscript should now match the screen.
+ Fixed PDF export of blended objects.
+ Fixed display of pattern fills. Last row was not getting set properly.
+ Added basic support for Separation color mode (don't ask!) in PDF files
so they do not load with white text.
+ Fixed long standing bug where ellipses change size when in dissolved drawing
and other strange resize issues with ellipses.
+ WINDOWS: Fixed minor label issue for labels with a '&' character.
+ WINDOWS: Mini-menu/popups in edit palette for boxes, ellipses, polygons etc
now work, and show proper checkmark.
+ WINDOWS: Fixed a large number of resource usage leaks that could account for
many strange crashes!!! Even seems to make a speed improvement!
+ Added initial Catalan, Danish, Hungarian, Italian, Portuguese, Serbian,
and Swedish PageStream translations.
Anyone who is fluent in these languages (and any others) that can help with
translating and/or checking these translations is encouraged to do so! Check
out the ReadMe.Localization.txt for simple instructions on how you can help.
+ Added Magyar (Hungarian) hyphenation rules.
+ Fixed bug in character sets that caused import text/paste to hang with ascii
filter, plus fixed ascii filter to not hang if given bad data from character
sets.
+ PNG: Fixed problem loading external PNG pictures at print time.
+ Fixed loading/saving of ILBM pictures with alpha channel, which also fixes
loading/saving of documents with alpha channel pictures.
+ Fixed rendering of wide strokes that overlap each other, outline of text that
overlaps, and as a side benefit the notch that appeared on think stroked
circles.
+ Export to rendered bitmap defaults to previous export values.
+ Fixed export of object at 0,0 (or negative) to rendered bitmap.
+ Amiga 1251 Cyrillic character set added
+ Landscape pages will print vertically stacked when printing signatures now.
+ Added full unicode support to RTF import/export.
+ Added new script parameter [CELL x y] to option INOBJECT for command
SELECTTEXT.
** SELECTTEXT <AT x y [FRONTMOST | BACKMOST][REPLACE | ADD | REMOVE |
TOGGLE | AND] |
** RANGE x1 y1 x2 y2 [FRONTMOST | BACKMOST][REPLACE | ADD | REMOVE |
TOGGLE | AND] |
** | WORD | LINE | PARAGRAPH | FRAME | ALL | NONE |
** INOBJECT objid [ADD] [PGS41:CELL x y]|
** INARTICLE articleid [ADD]>
** [PAGE document:...-pagenum | MPG document:...-masterpage:side |
DOCUMENT document | WINDOW document~window]
+ Added Russian hyphenation.
+ Added Esperanto language module including hyphenation.
+ Added Locale popup in general prefs that lets you choose the interface
language
from those installed. Not all are complete, but most are very useable.
Details
on fixing up the translations can be found in the Readme.Localizing.txt file
if you are able to help translate PageStream into your favorite language.
+ PostScript printer driver will now try and reencode fonts to fit the needs
of the output text.
+ Fixed small caps support in postscript output.
+ WINDOWS: Close buttons added to most dialogs, which escape same as the esc
key or cancel button (when available).
+ Moving layers up and down in the layers palette keeps the layer selected.
+ Updated all the language modules.
+ New russian localized interface. Use "RSRCLANGUAGE ru" in the pref file.
+ Added Cestina (Czech) hypnenation rules.
+ WINDOWS: Added pref item DEFAULTFONTSPEC "font,size,characterset" that allows
the GUI font, size and character set to be defined. Characterset can be:
DEFAULT, SYMBOL, SHIFTJIS, CHINESE, HANGEUL, GB2312, CHINESEBIG5, OEM,
KOREAN, JOHAB, HEBREW, ARABIC, GREEK, TURKISH, VIETNAMESE, THAI,
EASTEUROPE, RUSSIAN, MAC, or BALTIC
i.e. DEFAULTFONTSPEC "Lucida Sans Unicode,16,RUSSIAN"
+ WINDOWS: Changed windows printer driver offset to match the way it was
before,
plus added a user definable x & y offsets.
+ Fixed long standing bug (first reported in 1996 and was awarded most obscure
but repeatable bug back then!) that after drawing a box (or line or column)
you can not start drawing a circle centered on the ending point of the
previously
drawn object as long as you don't deselect the afore mentioned object.
+ Added support to PageStream and IFFILUS filter for loading/saving
drawing/layer
Visible and Editable flags.
+ Added Apply button to Type Line&Fill and Object Line&Fill.
+ Fixed ASCII export of UTF-8.
