1.7.1 - Rolling release ahh thing

just fixed some bugs related to the SVG exporter. probably it.

1.7.0 - Another minor but major release

what's new?

• now we have drag/resizing options. select a component with 2 sets of coordinates or more (such as rectangle, line, arc, circle)
• bug fixes
• CompassCAD is now released under GPL-3.0
  nothing is special btw.

notes

i have read your reviews on snap, and i would say that one is biased, another one is unbiased and also clear and concise. CompassCAD is NOT CAD for machinery or carpentry work, it is an architectural CAD/sketch CAD (drafts and stuffs like that). most issues are already fixed as of 1.6.2 (snap, docs, etc). the tree tool is just a way to demonstrate how you can implement shapes in a workspace, nothing fancy, so you can tamper with shapes within code (only accessible in devmode, accessing it requires you to click the CompassCAD logo on the top left corner seven (7) times). oh and, CompassCAD is NOT made to scale. "close to the tools" that is referred in the first review. it is intentional because i want to keep things simple, not being so "complicated ahh tool", balancing both for noobs and amateurs. also, the reviews were written in CompassCAD 1.2.0, not 1.6.1, so please ditch it. thanks :)

oh and, CompassCAD core 1.7.0 is released. ccad web might never have an inspector (unlike the desktop version), just to showcase how to use CompassCAD core in embedded situations.

1.6.2 - Visual improvements

what's new?

• nothing. just quality of life improvements. the grid and visuals does not snap, and now, you can move freely like in any other CAD
• changing the grid spacing to anything smaller than 25-50 now does not affect the overall renderer's FPS and performance. be less precise while optimizing the overall performance
• that's all. this release is built with mobile so only minor improvements were made.

1.6.1 - Minor update

just bug fixes. that's all.
