<hr>
<h2><a name="bugsfixed"><i>Bugs Fixed in xfig 3.2.5</i></a></h2>
<img src="images/blueballdot.png"> xfig would crash on 64-bit processors because of a missing include, which
causes new_string() to be declared implicitly as returning an integer.
This may cause the top 32 bits to get lost and hence the crash.
<br><img src="images/blueballdot.png"> Blanks not preserved in imported picture filename when reading Fig file
<br><img src="images/blueballdot.png"> When in metric mode, decimal precision was ignored for dimension lines
<br><img src="images/blueballdot.png"> When showing vertex numbers on objects, first vertex is now 0 to match
edit window vertex numbers
<br><img src="images/blueballdot.png"> Also, vertex numbers are not shown on inactive (grayed) layers
<br><img src="images/blueballdot.png"> Widget shadow resources moved from Fig-color to Fig because they don't
really have anything to do with color. There was a problem when running
KDE because it set a global resource *Scrollbar*height: which made xfig
freeze when *customization: -color was NOT used.
<br><img src="images/blueballdot.png"> The point positioning indicator is turned on when editing a compound
object to show the user that it is used
<br><img src="images/blueballdot.png"> Increased the maximum size of images that can be imported. There was
a limit in the PostScript image encoder of 4096x4096 pixels. This was
increased to 8192x8192.
<br><img src="images/blueballdot.png"> Centered text was changed to left-justified when flipped horizontally
inside a compound object.
<br><img src="images/blueballdot.png"> With -v option, after reporting the version, xfig would say that -v
was an unknown option
<br><img src="images/blueballdot.png"> Local locale was being used when writing the xfig cut buffer file
instead of switching to "C" locale. This created commas instead of
decimal (.) for numbers in those particular locales.
From Dirk Osswald
<br><img src="images/blueballdot.png"> Local locale was used when forming command for calling fig2dev,
resulting in commas instead of decimals for floating point numbers.
<br><img src="images/blueballdot.png"> count_user_colors buffer overflow fixed
<br><img src="images/blueballdot.png"> Under Cygwin, temporary file stayed around after unlink(), causing
error when importing more than one ps/eps/pdf file
<br><img src="images/blueballdot.png"> Segfault when using -update because appres resources were NULL
<br><img src="images/blueballdot.png"> -update option failed when not first option passed to xfig
<br><img src="images/blueballdot.png"> Clicking window manager "close window" button in library titlebar
didn't close the window
<br><img src="images/blueballdot.png"> Wasn't distributing objects in compounds when there were only 2 objects
<br><img src="images/blueballdot.png"> Some compilers complain about the order of declaration in u_fonts.h - fixed
<br><img src="images/blueballdot.png"> Northern part of map of India was incorrect (Libraries/Maps/Asia/india.fig)
<br><img src="images/blueballdot.png"> Map of Serbia was misnamed "yugoslavia.fig" (Libraries/Maps/Europe/yugoslavia.fig)
<br><img src="images/blueballdot.png"> Map of Central Europe had old Yugoslavia instead of Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia-
Herzegovina, and Macedonia (also, Slovenia was mistakenly inside the border)
<br><img src="images/blueballdot.png"> Editing a compound object with more than 200 texts would crash xfig
<hr>
<h2><a name="bugsfixed">Bugs Fixed in <i>xfig 3.2.5-alpha5</i></a></h2>
<img src="images/blueballdot.png"> typo in latex_and_xfig.html and LATEX_AND_XFIG files. Text should be:
\convertMPtoPDF{foo.0}{1}{1}
It was missing parameters {1}{1}
<br><img src="images/blueballdot.png"> -correct_font_size missing from -help option list and man pages
<br><img src="images/blueballdot.png"> -help and -version didn't work unless they were first in the options
<br><img src="images/blueballdot.png"> -O option wasn't passed to fig2dev for overlapping pages in multiple
page mode for PostScript export
<hr>
<h2><a name="bugsfixed-alpha4">Bugs Fixed in <i>xfig 3.2.5-alpha4</i></a></h2>
<br><img src="images/blueballdot.png"> When loading a library object, if it contained only a compound and
nothing else, when xfig promoted that compound to the toplevel the
main comment was lost
<br><img src="images/blueballdot.png"> Incorrect header files used for SmeBSB resulted in either segfault or
none of the command panel entries being underlined
<br><img src="images/blueballdot.png"> Drawing very large splines (e.g. at zoom = 0.01) caused integer
roundoff errors, making xfig loop indefinitely
<br><img src="images/blueballdot.png"> Bug where a line that had a zero width or length arrowhead was not
redrawn after being moved, copied, canvas redraw, etc.
<br><img src="images/blueballdot.png"> The page border and axis lines would obscure Fig objects when moving,
copying etc. other objects on the canvas.
<br><img src="images/blueballdot.png"> In the popup picture editor, if the relative position of the corners
of the picture were changed, the rotation field was not updated
(this bug was in 3.2.5-alpha3 only)
<hr>
<h2><a name="bugsfixed-alpha3">Bugs Fixed in <i>xfig 3.2.5-alpha3</i></a></h2>
<img src="images/blueballdot.png"> Missing #ifdef XAW3D in SimpleMenu.c
<br><img src="images/blueballdot.png"> Bug when breaking a compound object - depths were added twice to the
counts
<br><img src="images/blueballdot.png"> When implicitly cancelling the placement of a library object by
choosing another mode, xfig would tell user to cancel or finish the
current operation, but there was no way to do that
<br><img src="images/blueballdot.png"> Picture Reread button was active before file was read the first time
<br><img src="images/blueballdot.png"> Rereading picture in edit popup produced bad colors
<br><img src="images/blueballdot.png"> When using multiple copies of an imported picture, h/w ratio was not
computed for copies
<br><img src="images/blueballdot.png"> Importing PCX images were incorrect when bytes per line different from
width*bpp
<br><img src="images/blueballdot.png"> When passed a filename containing a directory name for a Fig object
library using -library_dir, and that directory only contains Fig files
and no subdirectories with Fig files, xfig segfaulted
<br><img src="images/blueballdot.png"> Several checks for memory allocation failure added to the library
loading procs
<br><img src="images/blueballdot.png"> Forgot to free allocated memory when return abnormally from loading
libraries
<br><img src="images/blueballdot.png"> Path length check in loading libraries fixed
<br><img src="images/blueballdot.png"> Missing include for put_msg prototype in e_measeure.c
<br><img src="images/blueballdot.png"> Needed #ifdef for XtVersion in SmeBSB.c (X11R5 doesn't have
international fontset)
<br><img src="images/blueballdot.png"> Added SIGPIPE signal to ignore in case an external program dies when we're
using pipes
<br><img src="images/blueballdot.png"> Screen capture on an MSBFirst X server with 24/32 bits per pixel was
incorrect.
<br><img src="images/blueballdot.png"> Importing any image file on such a server was incorrect (bytes/bits
reversed).
<br><img src="images/blueballdot.png"> Reading GIF or PCX files on 24-bit server *and* on big-endian machine
(e.g. Sparcstation) resulted in bytes being swapped and funny colors
<br><img src="images/blueballdot.png"> Could popup unit dialog when drawing/editing objects
<br><img src="images/blueballdot.png"> Embedded whitespace in filenames in recently loaded files weren't
parsed properly (.xfigrc)
<br><img src="images/blueballdot.png"> When pasting an object on the canvas, point positioning grid wasn't used
<br><img src="images/blueballdot.png"> Bug when reading a compressed eps file (file handle was passed to open
proc instead of name)
<br><img src="images/blueballdot.png"> Minor grid spec used twice instead of minor/major when passed to fig2dev
<br><img src="images/blueballdot.png"> Fixed conversions of export/print grid values when switching to/from
metric, decimal or fraction
<br><img src="images/blueballdot.png"> When loading or merging a file, xfig appended ".fig" to the name if
there wasn't ".fig" in the name. Now it only appends ".fig" if there
is no suffix (no ".").
<br><img src="images/blueballdot.png"> When appending the ".fig" before the previous change, xfig would segfault
<br><img src="images/blueballdot.png"> Libraries/Electronic/Schematic/transformer and transformer_ironcore
aligned to 1/16" grid
<br><img src="images/blueballdot.png"> Bugs in indicator panel display of text flags, dimension line params
and arrow size params when cycling through settings with middle or
right mouse button
<br><img src="images/blueballdot.png"> Bug in callbacks for dimension line checkboxes that select actual
length or user text
<br><img src="images/blueballdot.png"> When exporting to Combined PDF/LaTeX it uses ".pdf" and ".pdf_t"
suffixes because LaTeX doesn't recognize ".pdftex" as a PDF file
<br><img src="images/blueballdot.png"> Better clipping around arrowheads on thick lines (lines that are
thicker than the arrowhead is wide)
<br><img src="images/blueballdot.png"> Checks for open splines of less than 2 points when reading figure file and
removes them
<br><img src="images/blueballdot.png"> Clicking middle mouse button after creating first point of closed
spline switched to freehand mode
<br><img src="images/blueballdot.png"> Export panel sections would get messed up when changing export
languages
<br><img src="images/blueballdot.png"> Now checks whether scrollbars support StartScroll before trying to use
it for the wheel scrolling. When the Xaw widgets are compiled with
ARROW_SCROLLBAR, there is no such action.
<br><img src="images/blueballdot.png"> pstex_t export lacked border option (-b) to align LaTeX text when
pstex figure specified border (also fixed in fig2dev)
<br><img src="images/blueballdot.png"> Create one picture object with no filename, then create another and
xfig crashed
<br><img src="images/blueballdot.png"> Some bugs when freeing dimension line components
<br><img src="images/blueballdot.png"> Bad choices for grid dot spacing in metric mode in the 5mm grid, and
decimal inch mode in the 0.5 and 1.0 inch grids
<br><img src="images/blueballdot.png"> -international flag missing from xfig.html and xfig.man docs
<br><img src="images/blueballdot.png"> Added call to XsetLocaleModifiers() when initializing input method
(-international mode only)
<br><img src="images/blueballdot.png"> xfig was limiting arrowhead lengths to 50 pixels instead of 50 inches,
and the width to 10 pixels instead of 10 inches.
<br><img src="images/blueballdot.png"> edit panel for circles shouldn't have "angle" entry
<br><img src="images/blueballdot.png"> edit panel wasn't allowing typing in of negative angles for text and
ellipses
<br><img src="images/blueballdot.png"> Objects were sometimes drawn with a wild point when zooming
<br><img src="images/blueballdot.png"> Full path was being added to default export filename and wasn't
changing when user changed directories
<br><img src="images/blueballdot.png"> When drawing a box or rounded box with the "show line lengths" on, the
sizes were in Fig units (1200ppi) instead of user units.
<br><img src="images/blueballdot.png"> Spacing cedilla (ISO 0xB8 / octal 270) was missing from CompKeyDB file
<br><img src="images/blueballdot.png"> Changing the units in the popup edit panel for a text object caused a
segfault.
<br><img src="images/blueballdot.png"> Rulers and grid didn't change scale when user scale was != 1.0. Even
though the message window showed the correct user scale when drawing
objects, the rulers and grid still showed the unscaled values.
<br><img src="images/blueballdot.png"> Axis lines through 0,0 now drawn after page border so it remains
visible when there is a grid
<br><img src="images/blueballdot.png"> Segfault if current directory was deleted after starting xfig
<br><img src="images/blueballdot.png"> Positioning grid was set to "ANY" when editing a compound object,
causing the original bounding box to be lost
<br><img src="images/blueballdot.png"> Bug in arc drawing caused arcs to be drawn as circles at high zoom
<br><img src="images/blueballdot.png"> Computing the area of a polygon larger than 38x38 inches overflowed
calculation

bounding box even with line width = 1
<br><img src="images/blueballdot.png"> Limit on number of styles in a family wasn't checked
<br><img src="images/blueballdot.png"> If all depths were turned off and any edit operation was attempted on
the canvas such as move object, delete object, xfig would hang,
searching for objects indefinitely.
