CHANGES IN Eureka 1.21
(Since the 1.11 version)
Editing:
+ line drawing now done using RMB (MOUSE3) button
+ improved drag behavior, never modify the current selection
+ select/copy/paste textures in the 3D view
+ an operation menu, bound to F1 key or CTRL-RMB
+ undo/redo: show what was undone in the status area
- improved ability to highlight/select very short linedefs
- improved insertion of sectors, less "area not closed" errors
- skew (shear) objects with the mouse, bound to K key
- "dotty" grid is a preference, rather than three-way toggle
- default edit mode is now Vertices, and grid-snapping OFF
- linedef/sector/thing descriptions update as the user types
- arrow buttons in Vertex panel for fine adjustments
- auto-align linedefs on the 2D map, bound to a key
- entering a negative "Length" in Linedef panel moves the start vertex of the line instead of the end vertex
General:
+ improved BSP code, can build nodes for a map on each save, building nodes no longer resets the undo/redo history, more preference settings, ability to disable GL nodes, and support for ZDoom uncompressed node format (XNOD)

Key System:

Bugs Fixed:

- fixed textures in Linedef panel not updating after undo or redo
- fixed exporting to keep the iwad/port/resources of target wad
- fixed panel stuck on a highlighted object when going to 3D view
