  1. Major improvements to Import PDF As New project including re-instatement of functionality backed-out on 20/12/2021
    • Significant performance improvement especially when saving very large projects based on an imported PDF (up to 100 times faster in some cases).
    • Resolution of display/rendering issues related to the _clipping layer.
    • Renewed support for Bézier Curve objects
    • Improved support for PDFs generated by Bluebeam Brewery (5.0)
    • Fixes index error when parsing simple Bézier Curves to ensure correct rendering of Bézier Curves with 2 control points.
    • Avoids massive clearing/restoring of clip region so that, for example, the visibility of objects does not change with zoom.
    • Ensures that it is possible to 'click through' areas defined by a Bézier Curve, allowing selection of the objects beneath.
    • Ensures that objects that might previously have been hidden by other, spurious objects, are now visible.
    • Text objects from the PDF which are of the form "[xxx]" are now imported as straight text rather than as Text Attributes.
    • All transparent fills are now honored, ensuring that objects beneath transparently-filled objects are visible and selectable.
    • Grouping is optimized so that hierarchies are less deep and no group contains a single object.
    • Improves handling of Pattern colorspaces to prevent internal parser exception.
  2. Fixes bug in Cable Presets which meant that Start and End Cable Label Offsets could not be changed in the Cable Preset Editor.
  3. Homepage removes reliance on Internet Explorer and instead calls Edge.
