New Features

Optional tool centers -- you can now use any tool without selecting an explicit center ball. If used in this way, the center defaults to the origin. If the translation tool is used with only one ball selected, that ball is assumed to be the endpoint of the translation vector.

Lighting and background color are now saved with vZome documents. This means you can set your preferred background color simply by setting it, then doing "Save Default". It also means you can adjust lighting, if you're willing to edit the "sceneLighting" XML data in that document.


Fixed Bugs

Models that use the new scaling tool can now be saved and reopened.

"Set Background Color" is now persistent, saved in the document. In addition, it no longer affects the entire editing session.


Known Bugs

arbitrary strut lengths - the new strut length panel does not yet support lengths that are not simple powers of tau

H_4 symmetry - you'll probably have trouble if you try to construct a strut between vertices generated by H_4 symmetry.

Zomod import - does anyone still care?
