Version 4.0 Patchlevel 7 Added Features/Bug Fixes

  1. Fix a crashing bug which can happen when you paste complex text objects at the text cursor. Thanks to TSUKADA Satoru <tsukada@tcd.hitachi.co.jp> for the patch.

  2. Fix a bug in inserting <CR> in an text object. Sometimes, the <End> key will bring you to the wrong place after inserting <CR>. Thanks to TSUKADA Satoru <tsukada@tcd.hitachi.co.jp> for the patch.

  3. Fix a bunch of bugs related to the handling of double-byte fonts. Thanks to TSUKADA Satoru <tsukada@tcd.hitachi.co.jp> for the patch.

  4. Use the portable locale ("C") by default. Thanks to Gregor Zych <zych@pool.informatik.rwth-aachen.de> for the suggestion.

  5. Add a new drawing mode to create arcs such that the user can specify the endpoints of an arc while tgif determines automatically the center of the circle on which the arc lies. Thanks to Dick Wesseling <ftu@fi.uu.nl> for the patch and suggestion.

  6. Add 3 alignment submenus and 1 distribution submenu. Using these submenus, one can specify alignments directly while aligning objects, aligning objects to grid, aligning objects to page, and distribute objects. Thanks to Dick Wesseling <ftu@fi.uu.nl> for the suggestion.

  7. Update "tgif.pl" Prolog code to document the new tgif file format (file version 37).
