• Added a JNLP for WebStart, contributed by Chris Hazen
• Added a simple plugin for the Mappy FMAP format maps
• Added a plugin dialog for information about plugins
• Added plugin target for building bundled plugins
• Removed API usage deprecated by Java 5.0

Tiled 0.4.1 released

This release brings some stability and usability improvements, along with a few new features that are still a bit experimental like selections, search/replace and hexagonal maps.

• Added search/replace functionality
• Added tooltips to buttons
• Added map save/load plugin support
• Added marquee selections
• Added HexMapView, contributed by Andreas Mross (experimental)
• Removed name and version attributes from map, custom properties suffice there
• Removed name attribute from tile for same reason
• More intelligent starting locations for file choosers
• Grid display is now configurable (opacity, antialiasing)
• Fixes to tileset editing dialog
• Fixed config file saving to stop adding newlines to the config file
• Fixed window close button to behave the same as File->Exit
• Fixed undo/redo for moving layers
• Fixed moving a duplicated layer to no longer move original too

Thanks go to Ahmed Mohombe and Andreas Mross for their feedback and suggestions! Andreas also contributed code for hexagonal maps, expect improvements to this new map view in later versions.

Tiled 0.4.0 released

After a long pause, there's finally a new release of Tiled. We also released two tutorials on the website. Changes include:

• Configuration defaults to preset values, Tiled should now work fine if there is no initial config file
• Layer rotation and flipping
• Map resizing (warning: cannot be undone yet)
• Custom properties on tiles and map
• A file filter on loading and saving for .tmx and .tsx
• Several UI improvements (usage of JSplitPane and JSpinner for example)
• Small changes to the map format*
• Implemented a better underlying architecture for Maps and Brushes
• Fixed several null pointer exceptions
• Added an Ant build target for tiled-core.jar, for use in Java engines
• Support for other than 2:1 isometric tile ratios (2:1 and 1:1 tested)
• Fixed redo for painting operations (paint, fill, erase)
• Improved undo/redo of layer organisation changes

*) Map width/height are now attributes of the map element instead of a seperate dimensions element. Also, Tiled now correctly wraps unencoded layer data in a data element.

Tiled 0.3.1 released

We implemented a few easy feature requests and fixed some bugs, changes in this release include:

• Tile palette dialog remembers size and position and doesn't close when a tile is selected
• Saving unencoded layers is possible through config options
• The right mouse button now functions as eye dropper/tile grabber
• Added "Preferences..." option under "Edit" menu
• First tile of tileset is selected when map is loaded
• Added toolbar buttons to zoom in and out
• Removed select button and print menuitem, will come back when functional
