See the old behavior with "Sim.cables = false;" * Greatly improved the stability of towers/stacking * Fixed an energy- and momentum leak caused by interaction between forces (sprin gs, gravity, ...) and constraints (hinges, contacts). Scripting: * Added a scripting menu in advanced mode where object attributes can be set. * Added onCollide function to geometries - this is a function that is called whe n two objects collide.

Japanese translation by tatt61880 Brazilian Portuguese translation by xxGLHRMxx Russian translation by Kilinich English and Swedish by emilk

=== Beta 4.22, 2008-08-12 === * Fixed a bug where Phun would crash when cloning after first deleting items (th anks for helping me replicate, tatt61880) * Added the console command App.GUI.dragUndo. If set to false, drags can't be un done. === Beta 4.21, 2008-08-12 === * Changed so that the clone tool only selects both the original and the clone if f ctrl is pressed upon release (good idea, tatt61880) * Fixed a bug where the clone tool would sometimes leave one object out of the c lone preview * Fixed a bug where the scaletool would try to scale an empty group and crash (p ointed out by tatt61880) * Fixed a bug where "toggle" in the hinge controls would be reset on undo (point ed out by vovams). * Fixed it so that a hinge toggle button that was on gets restored to being on w hen undoing or loading a scene. * Added improved logic for determening the mirror axis when binding a key to the mirror command. * Fixed a bug where the polygon positions after scale/mirror would be very inacc urate for objects far from origo (bug noticed by lucidliquid) * Added the command "Scene.MoveToOrigo" which moves the entire scene to the cent er of the world coordinate system. Improves floating point precision. * Fixed a problem with panning and zooming while using the clone tool (problem p ointed out by guyboy) === Beta 4.20, 2008-08-08 === * Added the ability to assign a key to destroy entities (extrapolated from an id ea by Ze Roob) * Added the ability to assign a key to mirror a group of entities * Added the ability to turn off collisions between geometries with identical col lision settings * Changed scale tool behavior to scale single circles towards their center * When cloning objects by holding down CTRL, the simulation is no longer automat ically paused, and the cpu work is done when the copy has been dropped. Also, bo th the original and the clone is selected once the clone is done, which helps wh en cloning up massive amounts of anything. The clone button in the popup menu is unaffected. * You can now clone with CTRL when using the drag-tool * Reduced cpu usage on large scenes * Fixed a bug where binding certain buttons (.,;=[]{}\) to control a hinge would create a useless .phn file (thanks for pointing it out, Cyanide Cloud et al) * Fixed a rare problem with moving pens and attaching them to new geometries * Fixed a bug where cloning, scaling or moving several objects would sometimes a ttach joints to the wrong entities * Fixed a bug where glued geometries (geoms sharing the same body without a fixj oint) would detach when scaled (thanks, tatt61880) * Fixed a bug where objects once connected with hinges would never collide again , even when the hinges were removed (thanks for pointing it out, are11) * Fixed a bug where a cloned entity would loose some of its attributes (density, restitution etc) when undoing or saving the scene (pointed out by RicH). * Fixed a bug where Phun would crash if pressing escape while rotating, moving o r dragging an object (it now aborts the operation). * Fixed a problem where very small polygons would sometimes crash Phun (and also

decreased the likelihood of them looking very weird). * Fixed a problem where two or more water particles would get 'tied' together * Fixed it so that dragging something is (again) an undoable action * Fixed a bug where the Scene title would be lost when Undoing (pointed out by t att61880). * Fixed a bug where objects fixated together would get incorrect velocities when the fixate was removed (bug found by Rabidmonkey) === Beta 4.13, 2008-07-15 === * Fixed a problem in 4.12 where the brake-button on hinges in old beta 4 scenes wouldn't work (since I used to misspell them "break"...) * Fixed a problem with cloning pens * Added a menu option to change the target length of a spring (I know this has b een requested for quite some time now...) * Added the ability to click with your middle mouse button to reset the geom dir ectional controller selectors as well as the hinge controller selectors. * May have solved the horrible "pressing undo clears the scene and won't let me redo" bug. (time will tell) * Added a auto-brake option to the hinge controller. When this is on, the hinge will brake whenever the forward, back or brake buttons aren't pressed (so the br ake-key becomes the neutral-key). Suggested by ostfisk and others * Added error messages with line numbers on tokenizer errors - should help trans lators. * Added translation: Francais * Fixed a problem with loading old .phn files: when joints were attached to plan es they would often get messed up positions * Fixed so that the camera pans to any tracked objects when loading old .phn fil es. * Slightly enhanced scale tool visual aid * Slightly enhanced rotation- and scale center choice algorithm * Added undo/redo for common scene settings (water color, gravity etc) - should fix the "I need to re-enter the scene info each time I save" bug * Fixed a bug where removing a hinge between two objects would automaticly turn on collision for those objects, even if there were still another hinge connectin g them. * Added the ability to bind a combination of several keys with the console comma nd Keys.bind === Beta 4.12, 2008-07-09 === * Optimized input handling, especially on Linux * Fixed a problem where water wouldn't show behind a transparent object * Fixed a bug where circles, boxes and planes couldn't be transparent when there was water in the scene and anti-aliasing and simple water was both off. * Fixed some issues with the water rendering when anti-aliasing and simple water was both off. * Added texture prefetching so that phun doesn't freeze up the first time you dr aw a circle or open a menu * Added unit to the density slider (kg/m) * Fixed a bug where the directional controller on a geometry would apply a force proportional to the frame rate (and much less force than it should) * Added four translations: Czech, Deutsch, Espaol and Portugues brasileiro * Fixed some problems with undoing water * Fixed some strange behavior regarding loosen and glue * Added the ability to double-click to open context menus, and to select all the text in a textbox * Fixed a problem with zero-fade time of pens (thanks, VeeT?) * Added the ability to pan by holding down both mouse buttons (left and right). This means you can pan anytime, anywhere: in the middle of drawing a polygon you can pan away and then continue drawing, and you can start panning without acces s to the background.

* Optimized scenes with pens slightly === Beta 4.11, 2008-07-02 === * Fixed a bug where undo:ing would reset the sky color, gravity etc * Fixed a bug where scenes would be saved to the phunlet directory * Fixed a bug where importing a phunlet would change the scene name * Restored the "clear scene" file menu button === Beta 4.1, 2008-07-02 === * Included a default config.cfg (so backup your old one if you want it saved) * Turned shaders/anti-aliasing off by default * Added some tooltips (explaining that shaders and anti-aliasing is the same thi ng, and that you can load/import both scenes and phunlets) * Fixed the cloning of springs * Fixed some problems with scene loading: ** Controlled hinges have their motors off by default if loading pre beta-4 sce nes ** Bad geometry is forgiven and ignored, and scene loading continues ** Things with the same body id no longer needs to be attached with a fixjont (a lthough it is recommended) ** Fixed a bug where fixed geometry would sometimes end up in wrong places (bug have been present for quite a while) * Less lagg when moving the mouse on slow computers * Changed back to the old behavior of loading scenes in paused mode * Fixed box scale/mirror bug * Fixed so that the circle 'cake' is affected by scale/mirror * More fixate related bugs fixed (causing problems ranging from crashes to invis ible planes) * Fixed controller input (for hinge motors etc) missing key events * Fixed a problem where deleting the entities used by a free window (like changi ng color) would make Phun crash. * Fixed math.pi not working in Thyme * Fixed a problem where you could loose the cursor in the console * Pressing backspace now deletes selected entities (as does pressing delete) * Using fixedsys font for the profilers again * Increased the hinge impulse break limit slider maximum from 10 to 100 * Fixed a problem where the zoom slider wouldn't be updated when zooming using t he scroll wheel. * Added "Free drawing" checkbox to the options menu - clicking this will allow y ou to draw inside and around old objects * Re-added simulation info to the file menu. * Added cvar Sim.time (good idea, Zuriki) * Replaced "Clear scene" with "New scene" in the file menu. Pressing this will a lso reset all the cvars saved in a scene file (water color etc). You can clear t he scene without resetting the cvars by pressing "ctrl+a, delete" and then "eras e water" in the file menu. * Added information about the maximum hinge impulse for selected entities in the information window (usefull for determening a good hinge impulse break limit). (Thanks for the idea, Rabidmonkey) * Removed the ability to set a distance break limit for hinges (you should only need to use the impulse break limit). * Added a Glue option under the geometry menu (magicly glues objects to the back ground) * Added an auto-glue checkbox to the option menu (automaticly glues all new geom etry to the background) * Fixed the "are you sure you want to overwrite..." dialog to work for scenes as well as phunlets. === Beta 4.0, 2008-06-27 === * Removed superfluous full program path in the save dialog.

* Removed dependency on OpenGL 2.0 for shaders (should fix the "NULL-function in Shader::Shader" reported by agsgymboy etc) * Set shaders to be on by default where available (hope this won't foul things u p anymore) * New highlight system: a white border around selected objects (no more blinking ) * Objects can now be translucent * Added a pen tool that attaches to a geometry and draws a line tracing its path . * Vastly improved text input system with mouse selection and a lot more * Hinge motors can now be bound to any keyboard key or joystick/gamepad button * Geometries can have forces added to them controlled by either keyboard or joys ticks/gamepads * Hinges can be set to break if stretched or strained too much * The plane tool now angles the plane in 15 increments if shift is pressed, so it is now simple to create horizontal planes. * Rotating with shift pressed will now re-align single boxes or planes to 15 incr ements * Added scene meta info: title, author and description * Added setting (gravity, air friction, camera etc) to scene files * Upgraded the chain tool to work like the brush tool (ie freehand drawing of ch ains) * New box primitive (boxes are no longer box-shaped polygons) * New scale tool * Added a mirror command to the popup menu * Added the cvar Resources.force16BitTextures for those having texture problems (type "Resources.force16BitTextures = true" in console) * Added tooltips for some menu items, such as the tools. * Holding down the shortcut key for a tool will now only temporarily select it, while quickly pressing it will select it for real. * Redone the menus quite a bit. They can now be collapsed, renamed (click their titles) and are automaticly saved in the scene and config files. * You can now have the canera follow a group of objects instead of just one * You can now move the camera relative to the object (or group of objects) you a re following. * Extended the number of collision groups to five (used to be three). * Added Phunlets (save a phunlet by right-clicking a group of objects, import a phunlet by right-clicking the background). * Added the ability to copy- and paste phunlets/objects/thyme-code in Phun (ie: select something, press ctrl-c, and then ctrl-v it where you want a copy or want the code) * Changed fixate behavior to always fixate the top two geometries, even if they' re already connected (same for hinges and springs) * Phun now starts the simulation whenever a new scene is loaded (though you can immediatly undo this) * Added ability to change water and sky color in the right click menu. * Removed some rather arbitrary limits on position, speed and angular velocity * Fixates and hinges now have a small plus (+) added to them when attached to th e background (thanks for the suggestion, Melchior) * Fixed GUI mouse input opacity (you can no longer click through a GUI window) * Fixed a few fixate-related bugs * Fixed a bug where water particles would sometimes collide with a polygon bound ing box. * Various fixes and tweaks === Beta 3.5, 2008-03-27 === * Ctrl-G now groups objects together, and Ctrl-U ungroups them * When clicking an object in a group, the entire group is now selected (unless A LT is pressed) * Fixed a major circle-circle collision bug

* Fixed so that gui windows now get on top when dragged * Fixed so that more scenes can be displayed under File->Load Scene as well as s ubdirs to Phun/Scenes * Optimized the GUI rendering slightly * Optimized entity rendering by 'frustum' culling * Added separate option controlling an objects collision with water; making thin gs watertight should now be easy (thanks for suggestion, Chad Autry) * Added (three) collision groups; objects in one group will only collide with ot her objects in the same group * Added an options for showing some simple statistics for selected objects (mass , area, velocity, ...) * F8 now shows the collision points and their counter force and direction (used to be the collision normal) * Added the ability to turn on and off the drawing of object borders from the op tions menu (even in the no-shader path) * Added translations (accessible under the file menu). Phun now supports (in Lat in1): Catal (Catalan), Deutsch (German), English, Espanol (Spanish), Francais ( French), Italiano (Italian), Magyar (Hungarian), Nederlands (Dutch), Polski (Pol ish), Portugues (Portuguese), Romanian, Suomi (Finnish) and Svenska (Swedish). === Beta 3.12, 2008-02-21 === * Beta 3.12 removed the dependency on multi texturing support. === Beta 3.11, 2008-02-21 === * Beta 3.11 fixed a bug Stric pointed out to me === Beta 3.1, 2008-02-21 === * Removed the dependency on vcredist by compiling with mingw instead (thanks to Zao for the help) * The linux version now figures out it's path. * Moving objects moves them to the front of the screen again. * Moving a geometry does no longer move all objects fixated to it * You can now set a geometry not to collide with anything else by a checkbox in popup->geom. * Added two console commands: System.minFPS and System.maxFPS. The simulation wi ll be slowed down to match an FPS of System.minFPS; and the program will sleep s o it won't go past System.maxFPS. * Added the ability to click on a slider value and enter a new one. * Fixed a bug where the text cursor would be drawn in the wrong place. * Fixed so air buoyancy and friction adds to the rotation of an object (the heav iest part of an object will tend to fall first etc) * Set Resources.shaders to false per default. Turn on shaders in the options men u. * Added an option to turn off the clouds. === Beta 3.0, 2008-02-20 === * Added the ability to choose object color * Added the ability to follow objects (right-click them to do so, and right-clic k background to stop). * Optimized any scene containing water (more speed improvements to come though). * Added a file command for removing all water from a scene * Holding down shift while rotating now rotates in increments of 15 * Prevented popups from coming to close to the bottom right corner of the screen . * Set vsync off by default for better performance. Turn on again with System.vSy nc = true; * Removed a couple of usages of OpenGL before I had a GL context (may have cause d some start-up crashes). * Fixed a bug where deleting things while moving them would cause the program to

crash. * Added circle LOD; if a circle is less than 10 pixels wide, it will be drawn in a simpler and faster way. * No longer create the last hinge of a chain connected to the same body (like th e world). * Fixed a bug where you couldn't undo a clone * Several minor fixes and tweaks. * Added a Phun program icon by Marty * Renamed scene files from .cfg to .phn (your old files will be renamed automati cly at startup, and there is full backwards-compability by just renaming). * Fixed so you know can tell Windows explorer so associate .phn files to Phun (y ou could before too, but now it works) * Added an option for simple water rendering (good for FPS and for those having trouble with the other water render paths) * Holding down ALT while clicking a chain let's you select individual joints. === Beta 2.51, 2008-02-17 === * Renamed App.shaders to Resources.shaders (just to confuse you), and made it ac tually work this time. * Water droplets lie flat on surfaces (looks better) === Beta 2.5, 2008-02-16 === * Added a non-shader render path (turn on by putting "App.shaders=false;" in aut oexec.cfg). * Added the ability to control hinge motors with the arrow keys. * Upgraded the tools so that you can draw with the hinge-, drag- and fixate-tool s. * Upgraded the brush tool to drawing straight lines when SHIFT is pressed (thank s to the people who suggested this feature) * Added an option for drawing objects inside other objects * Added an option for hiding hinges and fixates when the simulation is running ( thanks for the tip, Jooh4n). * Added autosave of config file. * Fixed a bug where moving hinged objects may break the hinge * Fixed a bug where 'Zoom to scene' wouldn't work * Added detachable submenus to the popup-menu. * Did some small rendering optimizations * Added air buoyancy (lighter-than-air flight possible for light-weight objects) * Renamed CRASH.cfg and LAST.cfg to _AUTOSAVE.cfg and _ONEXITSAVE.cfg === Beta 2.3, 2008-02-13 - First public beta === * Fixed a bug where motor hinges would add velocity to the objects attached to i t * Fixed a bug where you could click right through a GUI window === Beta 2.2, 2008-02-12 === * Redesigned the UI, with new File and Options menus. * Dissalowed left-click-menus by default.
