IMPORTANT: ezdxf doesn’t handle layouts correct, you can create new layouts, but you can not place any DXF entities on this layouts. My advice: ignore layouts and just use the model space. (2015-11-26)

Version 0.7.0 - 2015-11-26

• Supported Python versions: CPython 2.7, 3.4, pypy 2.6.1 and pypy3 2.4.0
• NEW: support for DXF entity HATCH (solid fill, gradient fill and pattern fill), pattern fill with background color supported
• NEW: support for DXF entity GROUP
• NEW: VIEWPORT entity, but creating new viewports does not work as expected - just for reading purpose.
• NEW: support for new common DXF attributes in AC1018 (AutoCAD 2004): true_color, color_name, transparency
• NEW: support for new common DXF attributes in AC1021 (AutoCAD 2007): shadow_mode
• NEW: extended custom vars interface
• NEW: dxf2html - added support for custom properties in the header section
• NEW: query() supports case insensitive attribute queries by appending an ‘i’ to the query string, e.g. ‘*[layer==”construction”]i’
• NEW: Drawing.cleanup() - call before saving the drawing but only if necessary, the process could take a while.
• BUGFIX: query parser couldn’t handle attribute names containing ‘_’
• CHANGE: renamed dxf2html to pp (pretty printer), usage: py -m ezdxf.pp yourfile.dxf (generates yourfile.html in the same folder)
• CHANGE: cleanup file structure
