History
=======
v1.0 - First public release 
v1.01 
 * Added "Multi Move". You now move all selected vertices 
 * Added Vertex Command: Select All 
 * Added Vertex Commands: Lock X/Y. You can lock the X/Y move axis 
 * Added View Menu with some View Commands 
v1.02 
 * Changed the way the vertices are highlighted.
 * Added a checkbox to shut off the confirm exit/new.
 * Changed "Vertex Draw Radius" to "Vertex Side".
 * Changed the default colors.
 * Added a new way to create the basic shape of a sector. 
   This way you can create perfect "circle shaped" sectors.
   (with 3-24 vertices)
 * It is now possible to change the scenes color, however I recommend
   that you use white becouse some things color will be inverted against 
   the background color. (the long cursor cross, the selection rectangle, 
   the lines when you create a sector with "free hand", mesure tool etc).
 * Changed the scene coordinates: X:0, Y:0 is now in the middle of 
   the scene and NOT in the upper left corner.
 * Improved "select with rectangel" performance.
v1.02a
 * Minor changes.
