TILE DRILLER history:

v2.1 (26-Feb-2005) Added an undo stack, so you can do more than 1 undo. Added erosion operation. Added new drawing tools: line, rectangle and circle. Code cleanups, less bloat. Editor window has a status line at the bottom. Grid size and editor-window size are independent. Reading of 8bit PNG files with transparency should work. Small optimizations. Visible grid. When selecting the shown tile in the memory-window, the selection centers on the mouse cursor. Zooming can now be done is discrete steps, instead of having fixed zoom values.

v2.0 (15-May-2004) Added new tiled view size: 1x1. Added new tiled view zoom modes: 500% and 1000%. Added revert menu option to the memory window. Changed the asterisk symbol in the menubars to pipe. Shrinking the image and having unchecked snap-to-grid doesn't possibly crash TILE DRILLER any more. Reading of 16bit PNG files should work. PNG saving could crash (a very rare bug). Optimized window updates a bit.

v1.9 (28-Jan-2004) TILE DRILLER can now load TGA files, too. Fixed few possible crashes introduced in v1.8. Code cleanups. Small optimizations here and there.
