What's new

v2.6 [Dec 4, 2015]
New features
Polish and Hungarian translations included.
Now supports IOF XML version 3.0 export along with version 2.0.3.
IOF XML export (both versions 2 and 3) now output real-world coordinates of controls when used with a geo-referenced OCAD map.
New support for text control descriptions to enable languages such as Polish to include nouns that change case based on modifiers in other columns.
Bug fixes
Ghostscript version updated to 9.16. This will require a re-download and install of Ghostscript when using PDF maps.
In IOF XML export, sometime the wrong decimal separator was used for decimal numbers.
Fixed appearance when running on high-DPI displays (such as Surface 4).

v2.5 [Feb 6, 2015]
Features
- Added the "Course/Duplicate Course..." command to duplicate a course.
- Added the ability to override the automatic computation of course length and specify a course length in the course properties.
- When a control that is shared between multiple courses is moved, a dialog now comes up asking if you want to move that control is all courses, or create a new control This does not occur if you move a control on the All Controls display, or move a control less than 50 meters. This helps a common confusion, especially among beginners.
- After deleting a control, the control that preceded it is selected. This makes it easier to add a new control.
- On commands that have a list of courses to select from (Print, Create OCAD files, etc.), the set of courses selected is preserved between invocations of the command.
- Printing courses has an option to pause printing after each course or course part is printed. This allows easily changing paper or flipping paper over to print the back side.
- Textual control descriptions can be done in Japanese.
- The default number of copies of a course to print is always 1.
- Remove the "Exit" button from the initial screen, since there is already an "X" button in the top corner.
Bug Fixes
- Fix problem where Purple Pen would not draw some text objects in the OCAD 11 layout layer.
