Advisories /8, newest first/

  1. Advisory 8 GR Hail

    Three tabs tested in the browser and fixed, and a paving colored from a photograph now answers in a tenth of a second instead of a third. A long-standing fault that dropped a saved fall and edge settings on reopening is down.

  2. Advisory 7 PTCLDY Partly cloudy

    The Strength tab's measure of a paver's weakest cross-section was reworked.

  3. Advisory 6 GR Hail

    Twelve faults found in two days of browser testing are fixed, a hand-laid border now follows the paving's own outline, and a drag with a shaped piece lays a whole course. A full test run comes next.

  4. Advisory 5 TSTM Thunderstorm

    Separators now bow into curves, laid whole or sawn to the arc, and snap onto the joints. A stricter overlap check arrived for shaped pieces, and the damaged project file is repaired.

  5. Advisory 4 GR Hail

    622 assertions pass. One live fault is confirmed in the room check for shaped pieces, and two design decisions wait for the next session.

  6. Advisory 3 TRPCL STM Tropical storm

    A second system, the paver app, has formed in the same tree. Measurements continue before any assertions.

  7. Advisory 2 GR Hail

    The separator becomes a real border of kerb and header stone, with the field cut square against it. Crossing two kerbs brought down four counting faults, all fixed.

  8. Advisory 1 TSTM Thunderstorm

    The paver app learns to lay stones by hand in seven styles, from plain rectangles to hexagons and interlocking waves. Snapping was fixed along the way.
