STLover 1.0.0 Release Notes

We are excited to present STLover 1.0.0 - the long-awaited release of a powerful and native STL model viewer for Haiku! This is the first official version of our simple yet powerful tool for viewing and analyzing 3D models in STL format. This release marks a significant step forward compared to the previous version 0.8.3, bringing with it a host of new features, improvements, and bug fixes.

Key Changes in Version 1.0.0:

New Features

• Measure Tool: A new "Measure" tool has been added, allowing you to measure distances between any two points on the model. This is useful for controlling dimensions and analysis.
• Points Viewing Mode: A new "Points" viewing mode has been added, which displays the model as a set of points. This will help you see the model's structure and the density of its elements.
• Rotation Sliders: The model rotation control has been improved. Now you can rotate the model around the X, Y, and Z axes using convenient sliders, making the process more visual and intuitive.
• Axis Display Modes: You can now choose how to display the coordinate axes: on the OXY plane or as a compass in the corner of the screen. This will help you better orient yourself in the model's space.

Improvements

• Improved Graphics:
  • Modern OpenGL and Shaders: The rendering engine has been completely redesigned using modern OpenGL and shaders. This significantly improves performance and display quality, making the visualization smoother and more realistic.
• Other Improvements:
  • Corrected Axis Colors: The colors of the coordinate axes have been corrected for better visibility and to conform to generally accepted standards.
  • Cursors for Operations: Special cursors have been added for rotation and movement operations, making interaction with the model more intuitive.

Localization

• Support for 18 Languages: Thanks to the help of our wonderful community, STLover is now localized into 18 languages!

Acknowledgements

We would like to express our sincere gratitude to everyone who participated in the development of STLover, for testing, suggestions, help in finding bugs, and localization. Your support is invaluable!

Future Plans

We are continuing to actively develop STLover and plan to add new tools, improve performance, and expand functionality in future releases. Stay tuned for updates!
