Name        : openscad

Release     : 1.fc19

Summary     : The Programmers Solid 3D CAD Modeller
Description :
OpenSCAD is a software for creating solid 3D CAD objects.
Unlike most free software for creating 3D models (such as the famous
application Blender) it does not focus on the artistic aspects of 3D
modeling but instead on the CAD aspects. Thus it might be the application
you are looking for when you are planning to create 3D models of machine
parts but pretty sure is not what you are looking for when you are more
interested in creating computer-animated movies.

Update Information:

**Language Features:**
* Added diameter argument: circle(d), cylinder(d, d1, d2) and sphere(d)
* Added parent_module() and $parent_modules
* Added children() as a replacement for child()
* Unicode strings (using UTF-8) are now correctly handled
* Ranges can have a negative step value
* Added norm() and cross() functions

**Program Features:**
* Cmd-line: --info parameter prints system/library info
* Cmd-line: --csglimit parameter to change CSG rendering limit
* Cmd-line: Better handling of cmd-line arguments under Windows
* GUI: Added Reset View
* GUI: Added Search&Replace in editor
* GUI: Syntax highlighting now has a dark background theme
* GUI: We now create a backup file before rendering to allow for recovery if OpenSCAD crashes/freezes
* GUI: Accessibility features enabled (e.g. screenreading)

**Bugfixes/improvements:**
* Reading empty STL files sometimes caused a crash
* OPENSCADPATH now uses semicolon as path separator under Windows
* polyhedron() is now much more robust handling almost planar polygons
* Automatic reloads of large designs are more robust
* Boolean logic in if() statements are now correctly short-circuited
* rands() with zero range caused an infinite loop
* resize(, auto=true) didn't work when shrinking objects
* The $children variable sometimes misbehaved due to dynamic scoping
* The --camera cmd-line option behaved differently then the corresponding GUI function
* PNG export now doesn't leak transparency settings into the target image
* Improved performance of 3D hull() operations
* Some editor misbehaviors were fixed
* Stability fixes of CGAL-related crashes
* Windows cmd-line can now handle spaces in filenames
* Default CSG rendering limit is now 100K elements
* Fixed a crash reading DXF files using comma as decimal separator
* Fixed a crash running the cmd-line without a HOME env. variable
* Intersecting something with nothing now correctly results in an empty object

**Deprecations:**
* child() is no longer supported. Use children() instead.
* polyhedron(triangles=[...]): Use polyhedron(faces=[...]) instead.
