Quick update.

Current status is we are finally working on the release files for V1.1.1! It's taking longer because all the code signing process has gotten more complex, for Windows and OSX (and more expensive!)

Today I played around with the hex grid. First: It's really nice to be able to cut off incomplete grid fields. My feature request is an option to center the whole grid so that it has the same distance to the map borders on all sides. Either automatically or with a manual offset. It should be doing ...

I was wondering if it would be possible to add the ability to decrease the thickness of the beveled edges of the Mansard style roofs, or allow us to have flat roofs with a "walled" type edge. We could probably do both! For decreasing the thickness, do you mean being able to make it not a fix ratio ...

The original thread poster asked about the next release back in September ... 7 months ago or so. And when exactly was 1.0.6 released anyway? To get ...

I have mostly completed a world map, but I'm doing some minor editing, such as adding more islands, and so forth. I'm wanting to add peninsulas to a couple of continents in my map. What is the best tool in OWM to use for this? Thank you anyone, for help with this. I just noticed this post, sorry! I...

On a separate note... we probably should allow for opacity selection for the canvas fill and showing the program background with a "pattern" like Photoshop does so you can see it's partially transparent.

Really? Because, when I export it as a .png and then open it in PaintShopPro it looks like this... I see it now, I didn't notice it because the issue is the canvas appears partially transparent so it depends on the background of the app where you open the export. Investigating why the canvas is exp...
