Grid Preferences Puzzle

In a discussion concerning grid preferences at https://github.com/LibreCAD/LibreCAD/issues/1917

a screenshot of "Application Preferences" shows 5 tabs labelled:

 Graphic View, Grid, Preview, Defaults, Paths

When I use LibreCAD (v2.2.1.3-2-g1598766fb) "Application Preferences" I only get 3 tabs.

They are labelled: Appearance, Paths, Defaults

What's happened to the Grid tab shown at https://github.com/LibreCAD/LibreCAD/issues/1917 

which has numerous Grid settings?

all those grid's related screens are from dev version - 2.2.2-alpha (https://github.com/LibreCAD/LibreCAD/releases/tag/2.2.2_alpha-latest),
they are not available in 2.2.1.x branch.

@sand1024 - Thanks. I will try v2.2.2 alpha.

The version of LibreCAD 2.2.2 Alpha tried won't work because we have a 32-bit Windows PC.

Is there a version for that, or should we revert to 2.2.1?

The technical trouble for 32-bit support with 2.2.2:

2.2.2 is on Qt6, which doesn't support 32-bit windows officially.

I'm wondering whethr it's possible to run 32-bit linux and build 2.2.2 from source.

if your machine is powerful enough, it's possible to move the 32-bit windows into a virtual machine.

@dxli:

I don't kown what QT6 is, but from your reply it seems v2.2.2 can't be run easily from our 32-bit PC.

Thanks for your advice,

Good news is that 2.2.1 is both stable and feature rich, and any user data loss bug in 2.2.1 is always treated with the highest priorities.

Additions to 2.2.2 since 2.2.1:

1, more drawing tools;
2, a new hatch algorithm, aiming to support hatching by clicking on an enclosed area;
3, hyperbola.
