Konjugate v0.5.13: Multiple windows, edge waypoints and a new pump example
Open and compare multiple models at once
Konjugate can now have more than one project window open at the same time; press Cmd/Ctrl+N or use the new window button to start a second model from scratch, so you can compare models, copy nodes between them, or reference one while building another. Double-clicking a .kjt file now opens it directly (in a new window if Konjugate's already running), the same way any other document type behaves on your OS.
Route edges around obstacles with waypoints
Edges no longer have to cut straight through unrelated nodes. Press and hold an edge to select it and reveal its waypoint handles, then right-click anywhere along the edge to drop a new point and drag it to reroute the connection. Right-click a waypoint to remove it; all fully undoable, same as everything else in the model.
Lock the camera to a 2D plane
A new lock button next to the view cube snaps the camera to the nearest orthogonal view and constrains dragging to pan instead of orbit, for anyone modelling primarily in one plane.
New example: transient pump suction hydraulics
A new bundled example models NPSH margin during a reciprocating pump's suction stroke, including a physically-correct half-rectified pump waveform and a tunable safety-margin readout; see the in-app guide for the full derivation.
Also in this release
- Hovering the "Konjugate" title in the titlebar now shows the running version; clicking it opens the About page.
- Fixed the About page failing to open in packaged builds (it was being silently excluded from the package).
Installation notes: Konjugate isn't code-signed yet (an active choice while the project is in alpha), so your OS may show a security warning on first launch. This doesn't mean the download is corrupted.
- macOS — if you see "is damaged and can't be opened": move Konjugate.app to Applications, then in Terminal run
xattr -cr /Applications/Konjugate.app. Or: System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway.- Windows — if you see a blue "Windows protected your PC" warning from SmartScreen, click More info, then click the Run anyway button that appears.
