Let's see a couple of small notes I missed:


You can now read in GIF format images for background images.


I already mentioned the grid snap and object snap working together on axis-aligned lines. There is also some similar stuff for making "on srf" object snap work in combination with grid snap at the same time.

If you move your mouse over an axis-aligned plane with both "on srf" object snap and grid snap active at the same time, you'll get a point snapped to the grid but on the surface of the plane. In the 3D view this also works on stuff like the side walls of an axis-aligned box.

For curved surfaces in the 3D view, "on srf" will override grid snap, but by default in the 2D views (Top/Front/Right) onsrf will be disabled for curved surfaces so that it does not get in the way of picking grid points. There is a moi.ini setting for this behavior:
[Drawing Aids]
DisableOnSrfInOrthoWhenGridSnap=y

There is also another setting for disabling onsrf entirely in all views (including the 3D view) when grid snap is also active:
[Drawing Aids]
DisableOnSrfWhenGridSnap=y


It looks like that clears out the last of my notes.
