New Build Posted (120113)

More major fixes include:
- Save time data loss in cases of errors during save operations
- Save failure due to low memory conditions
- Memory leak and low memory watchdog implemented. You will see messages indicating more than 1% memory change in command as well as warning when less than 10% of memory remain. Set MEMORYWATCHDOG=0 to disable warnings
- New display technique is implemented as a groundwork to further speed up certain drawing operations. You may encounter some display artifacts or even crashes as different graphics card have different graphics capabilities. This is work in progress. I highly recommend (unfortunately) that you set DISPDEBUGINFO=2 prior to installing the patch to go to the old methods temporarily. Type DISPDEBUGINFO at command line and set value to 2.
- Some dialogs not responsive (like Layer select button in LPOINT command) problem is fixed
- Drawing inspector hangup on exit is fixed
- Imprecise move (dragging) at large coordinates is fixed
- Distorted block display at large coordinates is fixed
- Mtext style selection problem is fixed
- Mtext dialog launch slowness is fixed
- Mouseover highlighting in paperspace is optimized
- Loss of entities in paperspace during 2DP command is fixed
- Potential registry data loss on process shutdown and restart is fixed
- ORTHO support during grip editing is fixed
- Pan/Zoom slowness with scrollbars enabled is fixed

Please keep the bug reports coming, I hope you can see the progress between the builds. We intend to try to make the next build the release one, by the end of the month, I hope that is doable.
Thank you,
Leonid

  2. Installed on my new Toshiba Notebook running W7 and graphics was running a muck. Set dispdebuginfo =0 at problem solved. My other older computer runs fine with =2.
