Version 1.3.9 - 01.08.2024

Updated and improved the license verification module.
Disabled redundant logging to improve plugin performance.

Version 1.4.0 - 01.12.2024

Added a "PIPE" shape to the wire module for electrical conduit.
Added an additional parameter for custom wires (conduits/pipes) within the library: Wall Thickness.
Added standard PVC (Schedule 40) electrical conduit sizes into the custom wire library.

Note, that previous custom wire libraries will not be compatible with this latest update. If you have an extensive library already established please contact me directly with step-by-step instructions on how to bring an older wire library into this latest version of the plugin.

The dimensions for the OD, wall thickness and bend radius were taken directly from CANTEX and JM Eagle literature, and should match exactly the standard specs for SCH40 PVC in the American and Canadian markets.

Version 1.4.1 - 01.31.2024

Improved the serial number verification logic within the License tab of the Global Settings.
Updated the javascript logic within the License tab of the Global Settings.
Added standard PVC (Schedule 80) electrical conduit sizes into the custom wire library.
Fixed a minor bug with the edit wire profile logic of the wire module.

It turns out the outer diameter and bend radius of schedule 80 conduit is the same as schedule 40, only the wall thickness is different. I learn something new everyday.

Enabled the ability to draw service entrance devices: CSED and Meter Socket.

For the callout and 2D symbol I'm not really sure what I should use, for now I'm showing the device part number and a simple rectangle. Any thoughts or suggestions in this regard will be appreciated.

The funny thing is that I added the hummingbird framed art back in June (2024) as an Easter Egg but I guess no one noticed, or at least no one ever messaged me about it so I guess it went undetected. I've also added in a decent wall clock as well for those needing a wall clock mounted in a room.

Decided to take a much needed break from the code today and did some other misc. tasks. This one just kind of popped up on my radar so I figured I would add a few more framed prints.
