Fixed a bug that could cause a crash after replacing parts if the replacement changes the location of attached traces.
Fixed several bugs that could prevent the conversion of surface-mount pins to through hole pins.
Modified the Gerber file format slightly to make it more explicit.
Added the Prune Library command that removes all unused part types from the Part Type library.
Fixed a bug that could cause text parts in sub-designs to be lost.
New Osmond files are now saved with .osm hidden extensions.
Added the Save Archive command that appends the current design to a separate RCS (Revision Control System) file in the same directory as the design file. This file maintains all appended revisions in a space efficient way such that any saved revision can be retrieved if needed. This retrieval would likely be needed only in case of an emergency, for example, if the design file is lost or corrupted. To retrieve an earlier revision, use the command line tool co in a terminal window. To learn more about this, type man co or man rcsintro in a terminal window.
Fixed a bug that could cause a crash on an Intel machine when selecting a custom grid menu item.
Fixed a problem with importing newer DXF files.

Fixed a bug that caused the Library window to disappear whenever a Part Edit window was dismissed.
Fixed a bug that could cause problems when importing sub-designs into an existing design.
Fixed a problem that prevented certain pegs from moving when rotating selected areas.
Hole marker sizes in Postscript files have been increased.
Fixed a bug that could cause a crash when selecting parts whose pads were changed from through-hole to surface mount.
Fixed a bug that could cause problems with traces routed with the Wrap tool after using the Swap Pins tool.
Fixed a bug that caused problems when fractional degrees were entered into the Rotation field in the Parts Attributes dialog.
Open and Import commands now employ new Navigation Services routines. This remedies some problems encountered with OS 10.4. However, under OS 10.4, it may be necessary to add a .osm or .osmond extension to your design file names to allow them to be recognized as belonging to Osmond.
Fixed problems with importing DXF files. Some files did not import correctly. Other files, after importing, would not display immediately.
Added the Show Pin Names menu item.
Design rule checks now check the clearance between thermal connection traces and other traces on copper flood layers.
The Flip tool will no longer flip parts that have been locked.
Fixed a bug that could cause a crash when building new parts.
Fixed a bug that will cause a crash when a selected freehand path is deleted.
When using the Select tool, holding down the Command and Option keys simultaneously enables the manual scroll feature. Holding down the Control key enables selection over all layers.
The Delete key no longer copies the deleted objects to the clipboard.
Imported PDF files are now released cleanly when no longer needed.
After using the Move Selected dialog, the rusults were not immediately displayed. This has been corrected.
Fixed a bug that could allow a clearance violation if the width of a trace is larger than the width of a pad to which it connects.
Printing, Gerber, and Postscript output of designs with more than 700 pins now requires a commercial license. Licensing is available at www.capilano.com.
Fixed a bug that allowed new parts to be placed at non-grid locations even when snap-to-grid was enabled.
Fixed a bug that could cause a crash after deleting segments of a selected freehand trace.
Fixed a bug that omitted the cancel response button from caution alerts.
When creating Gerber files or Postscript files, a final check is made to ensure that all traces have been routed and that no parts are left in the deferred list.
Fixed a bug that caused incorrect printing of zero width lines and when full-width lines were disabled.
Fixed a problem where selecting a part could inadvertently cause the part to move.
Fixed a bug that could cause problems when a segment of a freehand trace was deleted.

The standard alerts were updated.
Fixed a bug that could cause a crash when selecting the Wrap tool.
The insertion point of a Paste command is now specified by first clicking with the Select tool.
It is now possible to import sub-designs that were created by importing other sub-designs.
Immediately after placing a deferred part, a bug prevented the part name from being moved. This has been fixed.
A change was made in the handling of paths that are included within part type definitions. Now, such paths that extend from one pin to another will connect these pins only if the two pins are given the same name.
Fixed a bug that could cause a crash when clicking the mouse too rapidly.
Selected parts could be moved using the arrow keys while holding down the option key but the movement was not displayed. This has been fixed.
When importing a sub-design, a new dialog appears that lets you select a "Multiple" checkbox as well as X and Y offsets. If "Multiple" is not selected, the X and Y offsets are applied to a single sub-design. If "Multiple" is selected, the X and Y offsets specify the step-and-repeat spacing as multiple copies of the sub-designs fill the available working area. This should greatly ease the creation of a multi-design panel.
Fixed a bug that could cause a crash if some parts were still deferred when a rats-nest was created.
The graphics feedback when moving entities was made a little smoother.
When using the Quick Route tool with rats nest traces, the rats nest is now reformed after each operation.

Fixed a bug that could cause a crash some indefinite time after undoing certain move operations.
Visual feedback was enhanced when moving part names and part values.
Pads within copper flood areas did not display their copper-free gaps correctly when the pads were rotated by angles other than a multiple of 90 degrees. This has been corrected.
When moving the name or value of a part with the Move Tool or the Select Tool, no visual feedback was provided. This has been corrected.
Fixed a bug that could cause the design file to become corrupted if a part was given a value consisting of all blank characters.
Scroll-wheel support was added. Thanks to Richard Buckle, Sailmaker Software Ltd, http://www.sailmaker.co.uk/
More Quartz features are used for interactive graphics.
Some PDF files that were created by printing to PDF could not be opened with Acrobat even though they could be opened with Preview. This has been fixed.
Fixed a bug that could prevent pad and pin changes from being maintained when importing sub-designs.
Fixed a bug that sometimes allowed pads of an unselected signal to be displayed as if it were selected.
Added a new Import PDF menu item that allows the first page of any PDF document to be displayed as a faint background image. This background image can serve as a design aid or as design verification.
The Change Color->Pad... command now affects only pads on the current layer. This allows pads on different layers to have different colors.
Fixed a bug that could cause a crash when opening and closing part edit windows.
Part type items in the Library Window now contain a count of the number of parts that belong to that part type.
Added the Vector Text toggle to the View menu. When Vector Text is selected, part names and part values are drawn using vector character parts from the library. This matches how text is rendered in Gerber and Postscript files.
Fixed a problem that prevented the conversion of a signal plane layer to a normal layer.
Fixed a bug that could disable the Recently Opened Files menu.
Fixed a bug that could modify pins on signal plane layers when opening older designs.
