  • There is some good stuff in this release. Go to Preferences > GUI and check “Show sidebar collapse/expand button” + “Settings in non-modal window”. Now you can put the Preview and Print Settings windows side-by-side, and see the result of every change immediately. This also requires “Background processing”, but that’s been available for ages.




















  • The thumbnail shows a hexagonal tiling, which is like a brick-laying pattern but rotated 90 degrees, so the “half bricks” are on the top and bottom, not the sides.

    Maybe it would still work to orient the hexagons so the zig-zag part is on the walls, and then fill in the gaps with half-height half-width walls. Although “half” isn’t exactly correct; the hexagons give you ugly trig numbers.
