JACKHAMMER 1.1.855 BETA CHANGELOG
---------------------------------

NEW FEATURES
- Dynamic sky rendition in the editor for all games supported: skybox, rotation, scrolling clouds, etc. Now editor's sky is almost the same as in games.
- Skybox list with icons in map properties to facilitate sky choice (Quake2, Half-Life).
- New function "Connect Entities" (Ctrl+K) to connect two entities easily using their target and targetname fields.
- Internal connections preservation mode (targetname-target links) during copypaste or cloning (dragging with Shift pressed).
- Separate tie to entities (hold Shift when clicking "toEntity"). In this case, after a confirmation, editor creates separate entities for all the selected brushes.
- Improved Paste function - now it preserves an original third coordinate in a 2D-view.
- Special mode to display tiled texture borders in a 3D-view.
- Option to disable depth test for selection boxes (hotkey Q) - Radiant-style behavior.
- "Triangulate" option in Arch Tool enables arches made from triangle-shaped prisms not only in Smooth slope mode.
- "Fit Selection" option in Arch Tool enables fitting an arch to the selection (i.e. a quadrant will take all the selection space, not its quarter).
- Optional grid display on Arch Tool preview (to estimate stretching of resulting primitives).
- New curve types: Exact Cone, Exact Cylinder, Exact Sphere (Quake3).
- Camera FOV adjustment in a 3D-view.
- New option "Snap selection to grid when dragging" enables VHE-style snapping to grid during movement of the selection.
- Rotation angle numeric display (when "Paint sizing info" is enabled).
- Geometry can now be scaled in a preview window of Effects Editor using right mouse button (Quake3).
- Added builds of Quake and Quake2 compilers for Linux.
- Localization support, Russian and Ukrainian localizations.

MINOR CHANGES
- Ability to choose a value of fixed rotation angle instead of hardcoded 15 degree value.
- Ability to recompile a map with the same parameters (F9 in Compile Process Window).
- Support of hotkey F in viewports to toggle texture filtering.
- Subsequent calls to "Snap to grid" change anchor point, looping through all 8 bbox points (previously only the lower bbox point was used as an anchor).
- "Snap to grid" in Vertex Manipulation mode snaps to bbox of selected vertices, also works for a single vertex (selection moves to ensure the vertex on the grid).
- "Apply NULL to backfaces" option in Default Room dialog (automatically textures invisible faces with null/caulk).
- LMB + Alt click when multiple faces are selected does not clear the selection anymore.
- Null "angle" field is not added automatically to entities after transformation anymore.
- Arch Tool preview now takes current color scheme into account.
- Ability to cancel map export (including Esc keypress) in Cordon Bounds application dialog.
- Special keys ("targetname", "target", "model", "texture", etc.) are not hardcoded and can be redefined in fgd.
- Added "Transform" context menu item.
- Object Properties dialog is slightly enlarged.
- Shortcut "Break" interrupts compile process without closing the process window.
- Shortcuts for texture application modes (Shift+F1 - Shift+F9).
- Automatic focusing on input fields in "Goto Brush", "Goto Coords" è "Transform" dialogs.
- "Show 3D Grid" option added to "Map" menu.

BUG FIXES
- Bug with calculating normals for curves (Quake3).
- Bug with spawning compile processes in Linux.
- Bug with redrawing 2D-viewports after maximization (Shift+Z).
- Bug with cloning compile configurations in Expert Mode.
- Bug with saving compile configurations in Expert Mode.
- Bug with replacement of command parameters in Expert Mode (formerly only the first occurence was replaced).
- Bug with mip level generation for textures.
- Bug with disabled editing of Cordon Bounds previously stored in the project file.
- Bug with Splash Screen not closing.
- Bug with texture axes reset during brush movement/scale operations with Texture Lock turned off.
- Bug with projection switching using Tab - context menu item selection was not maintained.
- Bug with loading resources from PAK-files.
- Bug with FPS drop in 3D-views after render mode selection or window switching.
- Bug with animation speedup, when several 3D-views of a single project opened.
- Bug with deletion of partially selected entieis in Ignore Groups mode.
- Bug with insertion of default entity's parameters after map loading and during copy operation.
- Fixed texture "naturalization" algorithm for curves (Quake3).
- Fixed Show Connections mode: now all the connections are displayed for objects that possess several target_destination fields in FGD.
- Fixed Tab order in the Face Properties.
- Fixed non-working "Default Light Level" parameter in Quake compiler (light.exe)
- Fixed halflife.fgd, now player start entities display models.
- Fixed non-working function "Weld vertices" in Vertex manipulation mode (Ctrl+Alt+W).
- Crash when using Entity Report in 64-bit version of the editor.
- Crash when using "View Model" command on entity with missing model.
- Improved support for MAP format.
- Improved support for ASE model format (Quake3).
- Fixed accumulation of errors in entity angles after flipping.
- Many filesystem functions do not resolve symlinks anymore (Linux).
