Version 5.5

Hi All!

New year, new version. It took a bit longer than expected as the addition of the first slot car system was a lot more work than anticipated. The work on this brought to light a few imperfections when working with train track as well. So it was a useful exercise.

A few problems were reported by people that run AnyRail on Wine. This is a Windows emulator that is often used by Linux and Mac users. These issues should be resolved now. Please note that we do not officially support this.

Some XP users had problems with copy and paste. This should be solved now as well.

Here is the list of enhancements:
Libraries:
New : Slot car system Scalextric
Updated libraries: N Kato Unitrack, N Minitrix, H0 Bachmann EZ Track, H0 Kato Unitrack, H0 Walthers Code 83

Functionality:
New: Show trace. This function draws a trace underneath the track. This can be used to determine how to cut the baseboard.
Improved: The 'Show pages' function now shows page numbers instead of coordinates.
Improved: In the List of Materials the track length is represented in a more logical way for our Imperial friends.

Bugfixes:
- Flip function sometimes yielded a wrong result
- Rubber banding much more accurate
- Isolator related functions
- Recent file list: files that don't exist will no longer be listed
- 'Small buttons' function fixed
- 'Disconnect part' function fixed

Enjoy!

David.

5.5.1 Solves an issue with default colors
5.5.2 Solves an issue where AnyRail would not start up properly.
5.5.3 Solves an issue with 'small' items.
5.5.4 Solves an issue for old computers running XP on a CPU with a limited instruction set.
5.5.5 Solves an issue when flipping specific types of isolator track.

NOTE:  If AnyRail won't start, please hold down SHIFT when starting up the program. This clears the programs settings.

@Jim: very strange.
You downloaded and installed version 5.5.1?

What version of Windows are you using, and does anything happen at all?

;D ;D ;D only Pyrénnéen spring water and 5.5.3 did not run same as 5.5.2 ;D ;D ;D

David

@Andrew & Eric: Could you please update to version 5.5.4?
If that is not possible from within AnyRail, just download the program from the website and install it.

Version 5.5.4 should solve the issues some people experience when running AnyRail on XP SP3, on older CPU's that have a limited instruction set.

Please let me know how it goes!
