Grasshopper 1.0 Beta 3 available for download

Hello all,

a new release of Grasshopper 1.0 is available for download. This release fixes a number of serious crash bugs (in fact, it fixes all the repeatable crash bugs that have been reported over the past 6 months).

You can download this release from the usual location. The internal version number for this release is 0.9.0068.

Fixes:

• All expressions inside parameters now use 'x' as the variable instead of the nickname. Old files should be converted automatically.

• GetDataTree method calls with mismatched parameter access would display the wrong error message, this is fixed.

• Menu items on submenus that are disabled due to document states could not be triggered by shortcuts or buttons, this is fixed.

• Lofting would fail with zero-length start and end profiles, this is fixed (they are now treated as points).

• When lofting failed due to invalid profile curves, the error message was useless, this is fixed.

• Under rare conditions null entries in persistent data would cause the Manage X Collection window to crash, this is fixed.

• Mouse Leave events on the Expression Editor window would sometimes cause a crash due to null timers, this is fixed.

• Offsetting curves would sometimes result in superfluous control points, this is fixed.

• Trim Solid would fail if one of the trimming shapes did not intersect the base shape, this is fixed.

• Solid Difference would fail if one of the trimming shapes did not intersect the base shape, this is fixed.

• The annealing history curve in the Galapagos window would sometimes crash on repaint, this is fixed.

• Having a (partially) transparent background colour for a Text Panel would crash the panel editor window, this is fixed.

• The Evaluate component would crash when editing an expression with coincident variable names, this is fixed.
