Changes from version 1.2 to version 1.3

New features:
• New connector tool: Direct Connector. Now you have the option to connect objects with straight lines, rather than routable connectors.
  
• Direct Connect Figures tool. It allows to connect several selected objects with direct connectors with a single mouse click.
  
• Text Edit Refinements
  • Text zooms up automatically in order to stay readable all the time. The amount of zoom now varies depending on the font size of the object's text.
  • In the Options dialog, the Miscellaneous tab sets the smallest size in points for visible text. For instance, if this value is set to 6pt, the program will activate automatical zooming in the text editing mode if the visible size of text is less than 6pt.
  • Now it's possible to toggle off auto zooming if you wish. Check the "No auto Zoom" box in the Options dialog, Miscellaneous tab.
  • Text positions more correctly when being edited.
  • Some improvements in the Edit Text mode. For unselected objects, it's now possible to place the insertion point straight in the desired position with a single click of the mouse. This allows to work with tabular data with more convenience. Clicking elsewhere on the object, or pressing F2 still selects the entire text, as it did before.
• When carrying an object with the mouse you can make its contours show up if you stop moving for a while. Now, the preview also show its text and fill properties.
• You can invert Snap on the fly by holding down the Alt key.
• Now you have the option to turn off library window docking (see the Options dialog, tab Miscellaneous).
• Autoscrolling can be disabled (see the Options dialog, tab Miscellaneous).

Bug fixes:
• Screen redraw now works correctly on dual-monitor systems.

New features:
• Documents load 2 times faster.
• Non-angled text redraw speeded up.
• Screen redraws faster when the document is being scrolled.
• Print preview added.
• Paste From Clipboard can now handle not only images, but also text.
• Cross-platform support for most national encodings (see the Options dialog, Encoding tab). If you don't plan to use the document on the Windows platform, you can choose the "No encoding" options. Then some Mac-specific symbols will be available.
• Export to EMF added.
• When importing PICT, you can choose how to store it: as an image, or as a group of ConceptDraw vector objects.
