Olympic release for 2.2.1?

Hi,

2.2.1 appears to be stable enough now.

We got a few reports of trouble in running the official builds in Linux and macos. I am going to test them. If the issues exist, they will be fixed before the official release.

If there's no surprise, I suggest a 2.2.1 release in about 1 week around the conclusion of Olympic 2024.

Please add anything here on your suggestions to add to the release note.

Hello,

Thank you very much for your work on LibreCAD, hopefully version 2.2.1 will be very stable, if you can please remember to check the following:

In the message box, the cancel button [1] and the close button [2] on the top right (window control buttons) close the tab, even if there is an unsaved drawing.



Is this the desired behavior?

Best regards.

You are right only the close button should discard unsaved.

Another solution is to trigger auto saving here, if user chooses to close.

That doesn't seem reasonable.

I'd expect specific close drawing dialog to Save/Don't save/Cancel [to continue working], eg:

This issue is a serious bug to me. Definitely, not intuitive behavior to most end users, and potentially data loss, due to misunderstanding.

I have added a fix to both 2.2.2 and 2.2.1 branches:

Renamed Close to Discard;
Also closing/cancel to cancel the closing and keep the drawing window open;
Save should also update the recent files, so can be easily found later.

Hello,

I have installed the latest version of the installer, however, when I open one or more tabs, when I try to close them nothing happens (only a "Auto-saved drawing" warning appears in the status bar), this happens when nothing has been drawn on them.

Thanks in advance.

Best regards

Hello,

In some particular cases the following behavior still persists:

It is seen when Isometric Grid is enabled.

Thank you,
