settings in the file
* Prevent the program from zooming out on the model when undo is used
* When layers are turned on/off, viewports that have been zoomed in or out are
simply redrawn,
others viewports are zoomed out to the extents of the entire model
* Severe error occurring when an edge was collapsed with two faces attached
with inconsistent
normal directions
* Fixed locked points that where not scaled when the project units was changed
to metric/imperal
are correctly processed
* Corrected an error in the routine were imperial distances were translated
into a text containing
the number of feet and fractional inches. This error occurred when the value
was negative but larger
the -1.0 foot. In those cases the negative sign was omitted.

Version 2.0
Released October 06, 2005

* Added a database with FREE!ship designs to the website. These designs may be
freely
downloaded from www.freeship.org/designs Users willing to share their own
designs are
kindly invited to send their designs to designs@freeship.org

either comma or period)

 * Implemented controlcurves as a new feature
* Controlcurves are added to the chines of imported chine hulls
* Create one panel for bottom panels and transoms (and other surfaces) that are
flat
* Switch visibility of partnames on or off in developed plates dialog
* Export all controlpoint coordinates to a textfile which can be imported in
Rhino

plane
* Lock/unlock points
* Modified the developability-shading procedure by lowering the value used to
test for developability
so that it produces less noise

Version 1.91
Released September 08, 2005
* Major modification to the file format and file extension. FREE!hip models are
from
now on stored as binary files. This reduces the average filesize (and undo
memory) to
approx. 40 percent. This modification is done in preparation for web
distribution of
FREE!ship models (user database) and for the inclusion of a preview thumbnail
in the file.
The extension if the files is modified from .free to .fbm (Freeship Binary
Model) Old
files can still be imported but saving in the old FREE!ship file-format is no
longer
supported.

* If no diagonals are present in the model, the plan view can optionally
be mirrored in the linesplan, so that both port and starboardside are visible
* New startup screen
* Export the formatted linesplan to an AutoCad dxf file (lines only, no fill
colors used)

* Curvature plot of intersectionlines
* Added material properties to layers used to calculate weight of the surface
area of a layer

new one is about to be loaded
