This release adds support for 'undo' and 'redo', just use the
standard Ctrl-Z and Ctrl-Y key combinations.
The undo history is infinite and is still available even after
restarting the application. Undo is shared between instances, so if
you have a drawing open twice, changes made in one window can be
undone in the other.
Changes:
- Journaling, undo and redo implemented
- Supports data serialised in YAML format '.yml' extension.
- Expects a DIRTYPE formatted file in each directory.
About:
Draft is a proof of concept platform that demonstrates the viability
of a different kind of file-format for storing CAD data.
The storage strategy involves splitting data into many small files,
this has a number of advantages:
- Fast saving - a save can be performed after every edit.
- Dynamic updates - concurrent access by multiple processes.
- Easy versioning via cvs, subversion, diff and patch.
- Object orientated data - drawings can be easily subclassed.
This is just a proof of concept, basic 2D drawings consisting of
lines and xref/block entities can be viewed, items can be moved
around and the changes saved - There is no other functionality.
