Antimony 0.8.0

News:

Antimony got unintentionally announced to the internet by a post on Hackaday; it then spent a few hours at the top of Hacker News. There's been a corresponding surge of interest (and Github issues), and we've already seen a few contributions from the community -- props to Michael for tracking down a mysterious GPU issue and Joshua for making right-click open the "Add node" menu.

I've created a Google group for people interested in contributing.

Features:

• Standardized shape and nodes libraries
  • Moved functions from nodes to shapes.py to make them accessible
  • Cleaned up duplicate nodes
  • Added UI handles to many nodes that were missing them
• Make selection less silly
  • Previously, when a node defined multiple controls, they could be selected individually.
  • Now, they're all selected simultaneously.
• Right-click now opens up add menu (@joshuashort).
• Added --heightmap option to start up with heightmap rendering.
• Made fab.types.Shape constructor accept a single string argument
• Fixed building on a variety of Linux systems
• Made syntax highlighter fancier:
  • It now properly highlights multi-line strings!
• Add orthographic view button.

Bugfixes:

• Adding a Control when "Hide UI" is selected now works properly
• Snapping to wireframe objects (in viewport) now works
• Removed multisampling to fix crashes on Yosemite with integrated GPUs (hotfix to 0.7.9, thanks to @elbowdonkey).
