6th October - fixed a problem where anti-clockwise spline sketches ( from SVG import ) were not being machined

6th October - optimised the toolpath for profile operations on open sketches, so that for depths after the first depth, the tool rapids right down to the previous depth

16th October - added Spanish translation

16th October - fixed "3D rotate not undoable"

16th October - I now ignore "z finish depth" for finishing pass of profile operation

1st April 2015 - I fixed a bug where you could select items other than points for the drilling operation, and invalid point id items in the drilling operation caused a crash.

1st April 2015 - Changed software name to HeeksCNC 1.1

19th August 2015 - Added an option to import uninstanced blocks from dxf files. Default is now off.

25th Augst 2015 - Fixed a problem introduced 19th August 2015, where VS2005 redistributable files were not in the installation, causing HeeksCNC to not work on many PCs

25th April 2018 - I cancelled www.heeks.net and changed all the help links to point to my actual website https://sites.google.com/site/heekscad, renamed to v1.3

3rd October 2018 - I fixed "Mapped network drives not working with Post-Process"

4th October 2018 - I fixed Formatting Problems. I fixed If the arc centre point in exactly on the start or end of the arc, then output a line instead. I added a machine definition for our Matsuura MC-1000VF

11th December 2018 -I fixed "'roll_radius' is not defined"

These have all been fixed and the latest versions ( to buy and trial version ) are working correctly.
