The only fixes in this version were to the Export manager, RhinoExport plugin and some fixes to the viewport creation process.

IMPORTANT!!!
Please be sure to uninstall any older copies of GeoFrac as there appears to be some conflict issues through which I am currently working. Thank you.

Version 0.82 Release notes:
Feature Additions:
- Finally implemented ""Flatten" and "Plateau" brushes within the Standard Tools plugin.
- Added new "Smoothing" brush that allows you to smooth out specific areas simply by painting.
- Hooked up "Density" slider to the brushes so it now works.
- Added "Horizontal", "Vertical" and "Triangular" brush shapes.
- Added "Focus" settings for brush shapes that provide for very cool brushes and results.
- Support for larger terrains (i.e. 2048x2048 & 4096x4096) note: for registered users only
- Added a "3D-Cursor" that helps easily identify where you are on the mesh relative to the terrain.
- Added "Load" and "Save" to the Gradient plugin as well as some predefined gradient files.
- Double-clicking gradient paddles now brings up the "color-picker".
- Added a second algorithm "Algorithm 2" to the Synthesize plugin (yields better results in some cases).
- You can now "Export" selected regions.
- Selections can now be "Inverted" (that's the selection marquee inverted not the terrain contents).
- Added "Shaded" heightmap view option (slows performance and not very good, but I'm working on it :-)
- Added visual position tracking and height info to status bar while dragging over the heightmap window.
- Added 30-day timeout that expires the program after 30 days upon installation of the product.

New Plugins:
- Created "Text Tool" sculpting that creates text as heightfields with numerous application types (ex. add, subtract, union, etc...) using a specified font. VERY COOL!
- Created "Smooth" filter with several smoothing algorithms. VERY NICE!
- Created "Noise" filter that allows you to add random noise in varying amounts to the overall terrain or selected area.
- Created "Scale" filter that has numerous ways in which you can scale the terrain. THIS ONE IS REALLY USEFUL!
- Created "Mid Point Displacement" terrain generator that creates some really good looking terrains that cooperate really well with many of the filters.

Bug Fixes:
- Fixed Selection Tool vs. Sculpting tool priority.
- Improved many of the progress indicators and feedback.
- Fixed problem when switching over to Terragen when Terragen is minimized.
- Fixed problem when trying to auto-import into Terragen whilst Terragen is rendering an image.
- The I-2-H plugin now handles Terragen file sizes as a special case.
- Sped up the output of Terragen .TER files considerably.
- Borders/edges of terrain/selections now transition smoothly when filters are applied. THIS IS A HUGE IMPROVEMENT AND A LOT OF YOU HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE :-)
- 3D view degradation is MUCH better and more snappier which provides for a better overall experience.

I've probably missed a couple but that's about it for now...

Enjoy!

Sincerely,
