Charitable organization donation 2007

Wolfgang Moestl — Tue, 01 Jan 2008 08:12:34 -0000

In the year 2007 PovClipse received a total donation of EUR 30,50.

As promised, 10% of the PovClipse donations were donated to a charitable organization.

I upgraded the 10% to EUR 5,00 and donated it to SOS-Kinderdorf International – Austria ( http://www.sos-kinderdorf.at ), Project “SOS-Kinderdorf Rechberg ( http://www.sos-kinderdorf.at/cgi-bin/sos/jsp/retrieve.do?site=AT&hNav=show&fn=2214a_oberoesterreich_rechberg_geat&nav=2.2&cat=/221_childrens_villages ).

Thanks Vaclav for your generous PovClipse donation!

PovClipse 1.0.1 released

Wolfgang Moestl — Sat, 03 Nov 2007 13:31:36 -0000

Hi,

PovClipse, the free Eclipse plugin for Povray and MegaPOV, is available in version 1.0.1.

The most important new features since 1.0.0 are:
Render Messages View:
=> Clicking on a line having a magnifier icon opens the file mentioned in the text and moves the cursor to the indicated line. This allows jumping directly to the error line indicated by Povray.
Editor performance:
=> Refreshing the Outline view after file changes tended to be very slow for big files. A massive performance increase for this part could be accomplished.
Outline View: New entry types:
=> #switch, #while
=> #fopen, #fclose, #read, #write
Bug fixes:
=> Outline view messed-up hierarchy levels if the characters ' or " were used within comments.
=> Corrected some typos in the English translation

Please see the history page ( http://povclipse.sourceforge.net ) for the complete list of new features.

As usual, please use the Eclipse update mechanism to install or update PovClipse as described on the PovClipse homepage ( http://povclipse.sourceforge.net ) in section "Installation".
Do not download the source ZIP located on the Sourceforge project page as it does not contain the binaries, only the sources are in there!

Have fun with PovClipse!

Best regards,
Wolf

PovClipse still lacks a recognizable logo, so a logo challenge has started.
The goal is to contribute a highly recognizable logo to the PovClipse project.

The challenge will be open until 2007-Aug-28, followed by a 4 week voting period.
The PovClipse logo will be picked from the top-3 voted logos.

If you're a graphical person please feel invited to take part in the challenge!

Please check the PovClipse homepage ( http://povclipse.sourceforge.net ) for more details!

Best regards,
