2024-07-08

• add Symmetrize tool

  • flick symmetrize the active POLY/NURBS spline
  • keymapped to ALT + X by default
  • toggle Symmetrize across Cursor via C key
  • toggle Remove Redundant (if present) via R key

• add Knife tool

  • add new points on any intersected POLY/NURBS spline segment by dragging out a cut line
  • keymapped to 2 by default, in-line with MACHIN3tools' Smart Edge
  • when intersecting a cyclic closing segment, place new point on beginning or end of the spline, depending on proximity previous start/end point
  • support splitting the intersected spline by holding ALT mod key

• add Convert tool

  • convert POLY to NURBS spline, or NURBS to POLY
  • convert BEZIER to NURBS spline, while removing handle points
  • when converting to NURBS, enable use_endpoint_u prop by default
    • optionally disable in redo panel

• add Reverse tool

  • reverse direction of the active spline, and visualize it
  • when run with ALT mod key, only the current direction is visualized, with no reversing

• Blendulate tool

  • support(keep) NURBS use_endpoint_u, order_u and resolution_u props
    • previously these got lost when blendulating a NURBS curve, thanks Zsolt!
  • refine modal execution and statusbar
  • prevent doing and showing anything but tension, when in tension adjustment mode while holding T key

• GapShuffle tool

  • fix preview visualization sometimes not working correctly

• Menu

  • expose use_endpoint_u prop for NURBS curves
  • make resolution_u adjustment affect the active spline only
  • hide most tools if there are only BEZIER splines in the curve
    • also show info about "Limited BEZIER Support!"

• addon preferences

  • fix issue with thank-you-note, after manual filebrowser installation, without removing previous installation
  • update addon description to include NURBS mention
  • add integrated updater
    • install from disk/.zip file, from inside Blender, while remembering custom addon preferences

• improve polls to filter out active BEZIER splines

• delay all handler execution using timer until safer state
• update various internal utils

1.2

2023-11-13

• SlidePoint tool
  • support native translate tool passthrough with X/Y/Z axis constraints without delay
    • so just press GX, or GY, or GZ as you normally would
• AddSinglePointPOLYCurve tool
  • set use fill caps to True by default
• Blendulate tool
  • adjust sensitivity down a little
• Menu
  • add use fill caps setting for curve
  • add use smooth setting for active spline
• addon preferences
  • add option to show CURVEmachine menu in Blender's Edit Curve context menu
  • add option to control whether addon (un)registration confirmation is written to the terminal
  • add option to hide 3D view sidebar panel
  • simplify and refactor how the various settings are drawn
  • add HyperCursor to about section in addon prefs
  • expose modal HUD timeout setting
  • draw thank you message direction above the prefs, instead of in a popup
    • for 5 minutes, then disappear forever
• replace all popup messages with fading HUD messages drawn directly in the 3D view
• ensure modal HUDs are only drawn on active 3D view, not others
• fully support Blender 4.0
  • drop dpi arg in blf.size()
  • support new shader names

1.1

2023-06-30

• bump minimum Blender version to 3.6
• Blendulate tool
  • add chamfer toggle using C key
  • support NURBS curves
    • this is useful for curves that combine long swooping curvature with tight raddii
  • prevent exception and support 180 degree blends
    • note that it behaves a little different than the usual case, where the segments outside the selection converge
      • merging will occur at the center point between the fist and last point of the selection
      • the curvature will change as the first and last points are moved
      • without moving them, the blend should be circular though
  • draw merge toggle in statusbar - M key
• Slide tool
  • improve how slide segments are drawn
  • make gg trigger more reliable
• GapShuffle tool
  • draw cyclic gap in NURBS splines as black line
    • due to the NURBS interpolation the curve is not necessarily drawn in the gap
• Menu
  • expose resolution_u for NURBS and BEZIER curves
  • expose order_u for NURBS
• remove bgl completely
