History:
- v1.0 Beta 1 -- First Public Release.
- v1.0 Beta 2
- Changed the layout a bit.
- Added "Recent files". DXF Import will now display the 3 last
imported dxf files in the "DXF File To Import" dropdown menu.
- Added "Recent Mat". Works as "recent files" (above)..
- Rewrote the DXF routine and as a result of that I fixed some bugs in
it.
- Removed the scale field. You can scale your sector in Jed.
- Fixed bug that caused a "x,x is not a valid floating point value"
for english users.
