Version 3.5.0

This release completely rewrites the layout creation process, leading to improvements and unifications in the creation function as well as its configuration through the layout creation dialog:

• Manual selection between landscape and portrait mode is removed, as it is inferred from the specified data.
• Explicit selection between using a drawing area or a manual extract is possible.
• Defining an exact extract automatically updates the inferred scale.
• Validation of the dialog has been simplified and does not produce inconsistent states anymore.
• If printers are not available, a proper error is shown and returns to the dialog.

Bugfixes:

• The validation of the layout creation dialog does not fail sporadically anymore, depending on the execution order of selections.
• If a printer is not available, the creation process does not fail in an inconsistent state anymore.

Dependencies:

• .NET framework has been upgraded from 4.5.2 to 4.8
• MySQL connector has been upgraded to 8.0.29

Version 3.4.1

• Usability Improvement: Asks the user to open the settings dialog upon first startup to initially configure the database connection.

Version 3.4.0

• Bugfix/Robustness Improvement: Improves printer configuration initialization: a printer is now initialized on demand showing a dialog with the initialization progress. Previous attempts to load printer in the background after AutoCAD startup led to different kinds of failures, such that the functionality was removed in order to make the tooling more stable.
• Performance Improvement: Reduces the number of considered paper formats as some formats were not needed but required time for initialization.
