[tiled-user] Tiled 0.6.0 final released

[Bjørn Lindeijer]

I'm happy to announce the immediate availability of Tiled 0.6.0 final.
The release took a lot longer than initially expected, but the long
period of release candidates allowed for many bugfixes and cleanups of
broken code. I think 0.6.0 is our most stable release ever.

Changes since 0.6.0 RC3:

* Updated German translation
* Removed the Animation button from the TileDialog and made the New
Tile button somewhat functional
* Fixed configuring, saving and loading of maps using embedded images
* Added TODO file in which you can find the currently planned roadmap
to future releases
* Disabled "Custom" tab in Brush dialog as it serves no purpose yet

Changes from 0.5.1 to 0.6.0:

* Added internationalization, with translations to Dutch, German,
Italian, French and Spanish
* Added stamp function for pencil: right-click, drag now creates a
stamp for easy copying
* Added more error-checking to XMLMapTransformer, the default map reader
* Added global properties for tilesets (properties set for all tiles)
* Added the ability to merge tile images when layers are merged
* Added more useful visual feedback for some brushes
* Added remembering of main window state as suggested by Dennis Spreen
* Added remembering of size and divider position to tile palette dialog
* Added memory usage display and a garbage collect button to the about dialog
* Added JSON exporter plugin by Nader Akhres
* Improved memory usage and speed in several areas
* Fixed new tileset dialog so that it is now possible to change the
tile height to something other than the tile height used by the map
* Fixed a bug when exporting a tileset with an external image
* Fixed two cases of hanging when using the fill tool
* Fixed tile palette bug of not accounting for gaps in tile ids
* Fixed tile palette bug of displaying multiple tilesets over eachother
* Fixed bug of adding a new tile even if cancelling out of new tile dialog
* Fixed NullPointerException when saving a map with no extension
* Fixed the zooming so that it keeps the center in place
* Fixed exiting even when a request to save the changes failed
* Fixed layer merging so that undo/redo of operation is functional
* Fixed resetting of selected tileset in tile palette on layer rearrangements
* Fixed saving of tile properties when using a tileset image
* Fixed loading of invisible layers
* Fixed saving of tile spacing property for tileset images
* Fixed configuring, saving and loading of maps using embedded images
* Rewrote configuration based on the Preferences class, no more tiled.conf
* Cleaned up TileSet (removed checksumming and rotation/orientation code)
* Removed experimental hexagonal mapview from new map dialog
* Removed option to not automatically create tiles from a tileset image
* Changed map format to store properties within a single "properties" element
