Version 3.38 of OpenVector, OpenGridPro and DrawPlus

[Christopher Martin]

OpenVector, OpenGridPro and DrawPlus version 3.38 are available for
download from <http://www.users.on.net/~belles/software/openvector/>.

These applications are all open-source enhancements to Draw. Vector
and GridPro were originally developed from DrawPlus as commercial
applications for 4Mation by Jonathan Marten. Vector included layering
and object library capabilities. GridPro was customised for drawing
grids and other regular object layouts.

This release features improved compatibility with Cortex-A8 hardware
such as BeagleBoard. Compressed drawfiles and libraries can now be
loaded when alignment exceptions are enabled.

Consistency of layered merging is also improved. Previously, it was
possible for library objects to be pasted onto undefined layers
producing troublesome side-effects. In this release, the fallback
action when pasting objects from a library is to place the objects on
the current layer rather than undefined layers, consistent with
importing objects from a file.

Sorting of library objects has been reinstated.

OpenGridPro and OpenVector now understand 'osunit' dimensions. This
eases the creation of drawings destined for display as fixed-size
bitmaps such as icons, foreign-format documents and presentations, and
web images.
