Import performace was significantly improved by reworking some of the algorithms
Performance improved in build 3686 - Some glyphs from oversized fonts do not display in windows that display font grids
The size of the grid was fixed and was displaying a portion of the glyph that was blank, making it appear that the glyph was not displayed properly. The grids displayed on the Pi Character, Place Superior/Inferior and Glyph selection window have been changed to resize the grid to the largest glyph displayed
Fixed in build 3720 - MathML export always exports parenthesis as braces and won’t selectively export as operator
Pi Character window had the “Get as Character” functionality changed to get the glyph as a non-Pi character from the Pi character table. The default MathML category for a brace is operator and the Pi Character default for parenthesis is brace.
Fixed in build 3725 - Padding is needed when exporting to images
PowerMath now allows padding to be added to exported images
Added in build 3727 - Tooltips are missing on some PowerMath windows

PowerMath now allows multiple files
Added in build 3837 - Equations within InDesign tables do not export
Tables are now included when scanning the document for equations
Fixed in build 3863 - MathML export doesn’t generate valid MathML files
MathML export has been significantly improved
Fixed in build 3872 - It is difficult to find equations within InDesign documents
PowerMath has a new feature that allows you to view all of the equations within an InDesign document. The feature is available on the document properties window
Added in build 3901 - Default color defined in the superset is not used
Black was assigned as the default color, the superset’s default color is now used
Fixed in build 3908 - Equations within InDesign documents take a long time to load when scrolling through the document
PowerMath now loads supersets and equations in the background when the computer is not busy
Added in build 3921 - InDesign CC 2017 plug-ins are not available
We are pleased to have added InDesign CC 2017 plug-ins to PowerMath
Added in build 3924 - When running Javascript, PowerMath pops up errors forcing the user to dismiss the window
Scripting will return errors instead of poping up windows, allowing unattended operation
Fixed in build 3931 - It is difficult to find the supersets folder
PowerMath’s equation editor now contains a reveal button to show the location of the selected superset
Fixed in build 3935 - Drag-select within the PowerMath editor selects too much
The selection mechanism in PowerMath has been updated to select only those elements within the drag rectangle. Should the drag rectangle include an edge of a procedure, the entire procedure will be selected as well
Fixed in build 3938 - The delete key doesn’t seem to delete anything in the editor
PowerMath’s equation editor was incorrectly ignoring the delete key under certain circumstances
Fixed in build 3939 - Case fraction spacing has changed in recent versions
Case fraction spacing was restored
Fixed in build 3944 - InDesign CC 2018 plug-ins are not available
We are pleased to have added InDesign CC 2018 plug-ins to PowerMath
Added in build 3954 - Plug-ins are not copied to InDesign and InCopy automatically
Plug-ins will now be copied to InDesign/InCopy automatically by the installer if InDesign/InCopy are installed to the default installation folder
Added in build 3956 - Supersets are difficult to find on the computer
Reveal buttons have been added in various places within PowerMath. Clicking the reveal button will show the exact location of the superset on the computer
Added in build 3957 - Javascript interactions with InDesign/InCopy for import/export operations within PowerMath do not include the entire document
The original specification was to operate on the current story. The scope of the operation was changed to include every story within the document
Changed in build 3973 - Equation properties (title and comment) are not preserved during export/import of equations
Equation titles and comments are now treated as special types of Pi character tags that allow the information to be restored on import
Added in build 3992 - Feature request: Provide a mechanism for naming generated artifacts
Equation properties title will now be used for naming generated artifacts if present. The old naming convention will be used when the title is not unique or blank
Added in build 3998 - Feature request: Utilize well-known MathML names for glyphs within equations when exporting
Well-know MathML symbol names will be used when encountered in an equation during export to MathML
Added in build 4000 - Feature request: Font errors within PowerMath equations InDesign/InCopy are not easily recognized. Utilization of preflight is requested
Preflight capabilities have been added to PowerMath to aid in the identification of missing fonts within equations
Added in build 4010 - The default superset in PowerMath utilizes Adobe Type 1 fonts
Adobe Type 1 fonts tend to cause issues in the latest versions of the operating systems and it is a best practice to switch to OpenType or TrueType fonts. The default superset now uses OpenType and TrueType fonts. Please note that if you are using the Default superset and you update your equations to utilize the new superset, the size of your equations will likely change by a bit
Changed in build 4025 - Feature request: An identification of the font location that is being used by PowerMath is needed
The Font Table window now includes a Reveal button that will expose the location of the font PowerMath is using
Added in build 4039 - Screen flicker can sometimes be noticed when editing equations
Double-buffering has been incorporated within the screen drawing logic, providing a smoother screen update
Fixed in build 4048 - Some fonts display with red shading
Adobe Type 1 fonts are not consistent in identification of their internal font names. PowerMath was unable to identify the font name in certain Adobe Type 1 fonts resulting is a mismatch of the requested font versus the actual font that was used
Fixed in build 4063 - MathML export uses msubsup instead of msup or msub and doesn’t include the preceeding glyphs as the base of msubsup/msub/msup
PowerMath now emits msub/msup where appropriate and includes the preceeding glyphs as the base.
Fixed in build 4081 - Equations within InDesign/InCopy are not providing enough leading causing equations to be overwritten by surrounding paragraphs
The functionality was restored to set “space before” and “space after” properties to the equation within InDesign/InCopy
