Version 8.50 - New Tabs, Search in Toolbox and Improved Documentation
Highlights
Tabs have a new design. Close button is displayed only for an active tab and for hover tab. Tabs can have a variable width by their names.
Tab are now more configurable. So you can adjust the setting to fulfil your needs. You can show navigation buttons, set minimum and maximum width and the preferred sizing (always full names or more displayed tabs on screen).
On the top of the toolbox there is a search box now. It allows you to find the tool you want much faster.
New Label Position menu allows you to place the label to an exact position. You can choose one of four options (left, right, up, down).
From previous version, a huge amount of work was done on formatted text engine, which was almost completely rewritten, which allows further improvements in future. This version brings also new formatting options for paragraphs.
