0.8B
(This

Welcome to the second
release of airbrush. This version much more closely resembles the final
version of the program. In fact, from now on, the basic skeleton of the
program will remain. New features will be added on as they are implemented.
I have also decided
to implement the documentation as HTML, as it is more friendly than a plain
document - besides, no-one prints out docs these days :)
The major additions
are:
-
New interface paradigm
-- no more keypresses - all features accessed through the GUI.
-
The shape is now edited
in two separate parts - mesh and texture. The GUI has two separate modes
to allow ease of use.
-
Wire-frame viewing mode
for the mesh - helps in selecting polygons
-
The ability to load
in textures independent of meshes.
-
No more command line
use needed - the program starts up with a file selector to choose a shape
Minor changes are:
-
Load / save multiple
shapes without having to quit the program
-
Different, more subtle
background
-
If a shape name begins
with MIG or SU, the program sets the roundel to the Soviet
star.
