Hello to all wings lovers !! 
Wings 0.98.17b is OUT !!
/Björn
Known problem: Hotkeys and temporary selections don’t always mix well
in this release (or in previous releases). I plan to do some rewriting
for an upcoming release.
In proxy mode, the cage would disappear for objects in vertex mode
after the first operation. (Problem reported by MrBraun.)Fixed a glitch when exiting proxy mode for vertex-colored
objects. (Thanks to MrBraun/PC.)The “Colors to Materials” command would crash if not
all vertices had vertex colors.
(Problem reported by wasamonkey.)Hotkeys assigned to the Scale or Rotate commands would not work
on a temporary selection. (Problem reported by sinistergfx.)
NOTE: Although this case works, there are other problems with
hotkeys and temporary selections.The wireframe in non-workmode would disappear when executing
non-interactive commands (such as Collapse).
(Problem reported by extrudeface.)Attempting to export to Nendo format an object having only vertex
colors on some vertices would crash. (Problem reported by Garboard.)It was possible to undo past the opening a file. Example: open File A,
Open File B; Undo brings up the model from file A but keeps the file
name from File B, so if you save you overwrite File B. Ouch.
(Problem reported by Asthane.)Highlights in body mode will now also appear stippled (if stippled
selection preference is on). (Problem reported by sinistergfx.)The Material to Colors command will no longer remove the materials
from the object. (Problem reported by OwenR.)In the segmenting window for AutoUV, the commands for
selecting by material and selecting edges marked for cut
did nothing. (Problem reported by sazeMaster.)If the Geometry was in non-workmode, the model would disappear if
AutoUV was invoked. (Problem reported by MrBraun.)Wings will install correctly (on Windows), even if the installer is
renamed to Wings3D.exe. (Thanks to lop098.)You can no longer force a crash dump by clicking the “No Selection”
menu popup (when dragging a material from the Outliner to the Geometry
window). (Problem reported by wglwill.)Improvements to dialog boxes by Raimo and to OpenGL renderer by Dan.
Tnx again Bjorn !!
