− | == New features in v2.2.1 ==
| |
− |
| |
− | * Use of an [http://www.evilmadscientist.com/article.php/eggbotdiamond engraving tool] is now supported. When the option "Enable engraver, if attached" is checked in the "Options" tab of the Eggbot Control extension, then the engraver will be activated while plotting. Note that the engraver runs during the entire plot, even when the pen arm is lifted. The engraver is not switched off until the plot is finished. The "Manual" tab of the Eggbot Control extension also has commands to manually turn on and turn off the engraving attachment.

| |
− | * The [http://www.evilmadscientist.com/article.php/hershey Hershey Text] extension is now installed along with the other Eggbot software. Hershey Text is an Inkscape extension which renders a line of text in one of several stroke-based "engraving" fonts. This extension solves a persistent problem: How to easily create simple and readable text which the Eggbot can quickly draw. Unlike other Eggbot extensions for Inkscape, the Hershey Text extension is found under the Render category of extensions.

| |
− | * An Inkscape extension for drawing name poems has been added to the EggBot Contributed extensions. See [[Name Poem]] for more information.
| |
− |
| |
− | * An Inkscape extension for spiralling long passages of text around an egg has been added to the EggBot Contributed extensions. See [[Spiral Wrapped Text]] for directions on using this new contributed extension.

− | == Issues resolved in v2.2.1 ==
| |
− |
| |
− | * Support for engraving has been added. ([http://code.google.com/p/eggbotcode/issues/detail?id=31 Issue 31])
| |
− |
| |
− | * Previously, the Eggbot did not support SVG files which used the min-x or min-y parameters of the SVG viewBox attribute (e.g., some Adobe Illustrator files). ([http://code.google.com/p/eggbotcode/issues/detail?id=36 Issue 36])
| |
− |
| |
− | * The contributed Eggmazing extension has been changed to produce mazes which are drawn vertically from left to right. Previously, they were drawn horizontally from top to bottom and thus required more plotting precision for good cell wall alignment. ([http://code.google.com/p/eggbotcode/issues/detail?id=40 Issue 40])
| |
− |
| |
− | * Some unrecognized SVG tags and objects would trigger "unable to draw" warnings while plotting. The Eggbot now ignores these tags while producing more informative warnings for unhandled objects such as images. ([http://code.google.com/p/eggbotcode/issues/detail?id=41 Issue 41] and [http://code.google.com/p/eggbotcode/issues/detail?id=42 Issue 42])
