This summary covers Planimate enhancements in 2015, over versions 7.19.1 to 8.39.0.

Modelling & Editing

Routine operation renames - PasteFromClipboard is now ImportFromClipboard AutoSave now triggers on a windows shutdown

User Interface

Copy/paste handling in tables has been rewritten to work more transparently for end users with a new mechanism enabling modellers to process paste errors.

Track/Rail Modelling

Train length can now be displayed wither as a continous "noodle" or a series of linked rectangles representing the individual train cars. Options have been added to optimise performance of models that provide their own train controller logic.

Graphics & Animation

Graphic drawing is largely rewritten and highly optimised enabling faster flicker free updates. Table/Graph Views can be selected to draw in the "animation layer" which enables high speed continuous redraw of changing data (very useful for data replay).

Planimate DLL Call API

Calls to DLLs from routine code are now shown and edited using a straiughtforward notation. DLLs can be called anywhere there is a data reference, not just a single operation per routine line.

Features Changed, Removed & Deprecated

Object index allocation optimised with an option for it to behave as previous versions did.
