3.68 | You can now use targets defined before the last object that is displayed in an assignment. Make sure all objects the user must not use are secondary targets (shift key). |
Some improvements in the property dialogs (e.g. area of polygons). | |
Some small changes in number display in property dialogs. | |
3.67 | Removed some small bugs. Russian translation was missing. |
3.66 | It is now possible to change the description of objects. |
One line icon bars may now contain all possible icons. | |
Objects hidden by a condition can no longer be selected. | |

3.64 | Midpoints now remember the types cross and diagonal cross. |
3.63 | Removed an error in start value for drawing of functions. |
3.62 | It is now possible to set the size of the selection area in multiples of the point size with a menu option. In applets, you have to add the parameter "selectionsize" by hand. |
3.61 | Code reorganized internally. |
It is now possible to refer to later defined objects in expressions, using the syntax @name or @"name". However, these expression will not work in macros. | |
Objects can now be formatted under conditions. With the edit tool active, select the object with the Ctrl-key. In the dialog enter conditions for colors etc. | |
If the coordinates of a point depend on the point itself, then the point can be moved. Thus the movement can be restricted. | |
Fixed point referring to themselves are now loaded and saved with their current position. | |
3.6 | Stable Version. |
3.58 | Small error with points on circles that are defined later. |
