Hi. The latest batch of changes that have made their way to the public repo over the last few days have almost entirely been dealing with undo/redo operations. Layer addition, deletion, and clearing are all now actions that can be undone or redone. For example, open a new drawing, then add a sublayer, then draw some stuff in the sublayer. Now, delete all the entities in the sublayer, then delete the sublayer itself. Hit 'undo' and watch the sublayer reappear, and better still you can 'undo' again to recreate the deleted entities in that back-from-the-dead layer.
There have also been some changes regarding the use of the message controlling function ignore(). The program will now raise an error if you try to ignore() a message you are already ignore()ing. This change was made as the ignore() and receive() functions are not recursive, so it was probable (and indeed happening) that you could prematurely receive() a message type that you still want to ignore. Lastly, a few changes were made to the 'gtkpycad.py' script in an effort to better handle errors loading drawings listed on the command line. The changes were simple repositioning of try/finally and try/except blocks but the result should be that any drawing that fails to load will now just print some error message but the program will still start, whereas previously the error would stop PythonCAD from running. The subversion upgrade has seemed to work without a hitch, and the changes all going into the code look like they are working smoothly, so things are still on track for a release in a couple of weeks. I'll be away for much of the next week so there won't be new stuff at the repo after tomorrow until late next week or thereabouts.
