A series of posts describing the changes afoot for the Long Term Evolution<\/a> of World Machine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Welcome back! I hope everyone had a great holiday season.. the winter here in Seattle has been gloomy and rainy, but inside work has proceeded on LTE at a blistering pace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next up, let’s take a look at a feature we hinted at last time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Full Edit History<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Undo\/Redo was not built into World Machine originally. Consequently, it has been the source of many bugs and issues over the years. For LTE, I wanted to not just make undo\/redo rock-solid and dependable, but also turn a historical weakness into a strength.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This has been achieved. World Machine now keeps your full edit history intact:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Every action that modifies your world appears in the edit history. The history is quite granular; for example, changes to each device parameter are stored individually. Repeated edits are automatically grouped to keep your history neat, and eventually certain edits will automatically collapse to a single changeset (such as moving wires and devices around). You can also remove\/ collapse old history if you don’t need it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Edits can load\/save with your project file, so for important worlds you can keep the full evolution and return to any revision you might want to see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Full Build Results<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You can quickly hop back and forth between edits and compare how they look at their full build resolution<\/strong>. Here’s a quick video showing the history feature in action:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
