VSDView 0.6.2
v0.6.1 — Reliable document lifecycle
-
Remove temporary SVG files on document replacement, failed opening and window close.
-
Read metadata and validate the first SVG before replacing the current document.
-
Report file I/O and SVG-loading failures through the existing error UI.
-
Add document-lifecycle regression tests.
-
Include libvisio-ng in Windows builds and surface release upload failures.
Validation: five tests with real librsvg parsing and stubbed window callbacks. Full interactive GUI behavior and Windows packaging require platform testing.

v0.4.5
VSDView v0.4.2 — Rendering improvements
Rendering improvements
- Oval detection: ArcTo geometry forming closed ovals now renders as proper SVG ellipses (fixes the 'flower/cross' shape bug)
- Text centering: LocPinX/LocPinY defaults to shape center when not explicitly set — text is now centered inside shapes
- Connector lines: 1D connectors without PinX now correctly use BeginX/EndX coordinates for straight-line rendering
- Arc sweep fix: Restored correct sweep direction for ArcTo segments
Quality improvement: ~3/10 → 8/10 on test diagrams
VSDView v0.4.1
Rename app-id to se.danielnylander.vsdview for Flathub. Standard setuptools build backend. GNOME 48 runtime.
