Hello to all!
Wings 0.98.17g is OUT whit more bug fixed!! 
/Björn
Windows: On certain computers with German Windows, all saved
wings files became impossible to load (“corrupted file”).
(It is not clear why, but I strongly suspect Microsoft for bugs
in either Windows XP and/or the C run-time library.)
This release includes a patched Erlang virtual machine (beam.dll)
that work arounds the bug (and it can also be used to read
wings files that have become “corrupted”).
(Problem reported by Nhytro.)Raimo implemented frames that can be collapsed in dialog boxes;
used in the dialog boxes for Yafray. Also many internal improvements
in dialog boxes (which will be used in future releases of Wings).Updates and bug fixes by Dan to the OpenGL renderer.
Added a eyedropper tool in the color chooser that can be
pick colors from anywhere in the Wings window. (Just click
anywhere out-side of the color chooser window.) Note that this
tool picks the actual pixels after lighting has been applied
to them.Binding *|Default Axis command (e.g. Scale, Rotate) to a hotkey
would actually bind the current value of the default axis.
Corrected. (Thanks to PuzzledPaul.)Dan improved all image importers (BMP, TIFF, TGA) to work on more
kinds of file formats (in particular, images having less than 24
bits and color tables). (Thanks to meebert.)Raimo made sure that numbers typed into the H, S, V field
in the color chooser would update the other fields. Also
made all color text fields the same width.
(Problem reported by thedaemon.)Vertex colors will now be properly exported even if
not all vertices in a face have colors.
(Problem reported by Anthony D’Agostino.)Raimo changed the Camera Settings dialog box so that you
can always change the number of mouse buttons - the camera
mode will be changed to the Nendo if the current camera mode
doesn’t work with only one or two buttons. (Thanks to Stephen Caissie.)Dissolve and Loop Cut used in a way that would temporarily create
a two-edged face (during the operation only), would crash in
the attempt to remove the two-edged face. Also fixed a few other
Dissolve problems.
(Problems reported by PuzzledPaul, bender456, PC, and FonteBoa.)Typing in a numeric value for Inset or RMB Cut would not work (the
typed-in value would be ignored and a very small number would
be substituted). (Problem reported by emmar and Vast Deathmaster.)Improved normal calculation for export to the Wavefront format.
(Problem reported by John Haggerty.)In the basic menus, it was not possible to define hotkeys
for the commands in the Scale menu. (Problem reported by ernest.)Yafray: Value of the save_alpha render tag has been corrected to on/off.
Correction by Raimo. (Problem reported by Meindert)Invoking grow edge loop on a virtual mirror border edge
would select the whole edge loop. (Problem reported by xr4y.)Gloss maps can now be created in the Outliner (by dragging an image
to a material).When scaling or rotating an object in body mode with a virtual mirror,
the center point will now be in the plane of the mirror face (rather
than somewhere in the unmirrored part).
(Problem reported by xr4y.)After resizing the main Wings window, any window (e.g. Geometry window)
that was more than halfway outside the Wings window could not be fitted.
(Problem reported by PuzzledPaul.)
Enjoy !!
