Hi. Time once again to describe what the next release will contain. There will probably be some Cairo-related fixes and enhancements here and there, plus any fixes needed for the GDK-based drawing routines. I'd like to try and get some code utilizing GTK+ printing routines in the next release if possible.
I've wanted to tackle user preferences for a while, as the current implementation is cumbersome and requires too much user editing. My plan is to modify the 'Preferences' dialog so that the information in it gets saved off to a file in `~/.pythoncad/prefs.py', and add a new dialog that allows the settings of an Image to be adjusted. Right now the 'Preferences' dialog is really acting more like what I want the Image settings dialog to do. I'm hopeful that the changes I plan will not take long to do. I've had some issues lately on my main machine regarding the video card (S3 Virge/DX) and/or motherboard, so I've not done much on PythonCAD since the release. Once I get things straightened out I'll get back to coding. I'm aiming for early September for the next release to appear.
