[kde-edu]: Kig 0.5.0 released

[Dominique Devriese]

KDE Interactive Geometry 0.5 released
-------------------------------------

The Kig team is proud to announce the 5th release of the KDE
Interactive Geometry program Kig.  This version adds a lot of new
features, and further improves the User Interface.  

Kig is the most intuitive Interactive Geometry program available (
including commercial ones ), and has most of the features that the
competition has to offer.

These are the things that have changed with relation to Kig 0.4:
- Much improved undo support.  Almost everything you can do in Kig can
  be undone now..
- Support for the importing of files in the KSeg file format, in
  addition to the KGeo and Kig file formats..
- Add a full screen mode
- Add support for a polar coordinate system
- Multiline text labels
- Optimise moving by a better selection of what objects to redraw
- lots of less important fixes, ui improvements, and functionality
  enhancements.. 

The new version can be downloaded from

Thanks to Michael Brown for providing this.

Thanks to all Kig developers and users, for helping with code
resp. feedback.  Especially Pino Toscano has been very helpful.  And
of course, as always, Maurizio Paolini deserves to be mentioned in the
credits :-)
