Subject: [Ipe-announce] Preview 27 available

It has been a long time, but finally a new preview of Ipe is available.

The immediate case is, once again, MikTeX:  Again they managed to 
release a new version (MikTeX 2.5) that contains a bug that breaks Ipe. 
  Preview 27 works around the problem (latex crashes if the TEXINPUTS 
environment variable is set, go figure).

No major changes, mostly bug fixes and little features.

Enjoy,
   Otfried

Ipe 6.0 preview 27 (2006-09-26)

  * Function to update all style sheets of the document from external
    style sheet files (with matching names in the same directory as the
    Ipe document).

  * Mark objects can now be filled (for type 'Box' and 'Circle') (bug
    #139).

  * Text style now accessible through popup menu.

  * Text size can now be set while creating text object.

  * Option -styleupdate for "ipetoipe".

  * New functions to move objects forward/backward more precisely (bug 
#144).

  * Can now select display of mouse position in points, inches, or
    millimeters (bug #156).

  * Removed the inclusion of additional directories to the Latex source
    path. It didn't work in a portable way, and I don't think it's very
    useful.  Fixes problems with MikTex 2.5 (bug #179).

  * Double buffering is now a preference.  It seems not to work on some
    (Linux) systems.

  * Disable canvas tooltip while drawing.

  * Text in Background template works now.

  * Fixed double vertex in regular k-gon.

  * Ipetoipe showed number of pages, not number of views, when testing
    for conversion to EPS (bug #155).

  * Fixed display of size (not an integer) in ipetopng (bug #155).

  * Fixed warning when compiling ipestdfonts with GCC 4.2 (bug #159).

  * Fixed inclusion of JPG images with zero resolution.

  * Last line in minipage environments is terminated with a LF now.

  * Save as bitmap now uses anti-aliasing (bug #138).

  * Fixed warnings on unused return values (bug #169, #170).

  * Changed project type of ipelets to plugin (bug #171).

  * Fixed rendering bug for text (bug #146).

  * Added "Reset Direction" function (bug #140).

  * Fixed crash when path started with zero length segment followed by
    circle arc (bug #145).

  * Reading and writing through Qt is now explicitely buffered (bug
    #162).

  * Fixed duplicated control point when joining paths to form a closed
    loop (bug #133).
