- New: Show mass of each solid
- New: Start window docked or floating (can be set in Parameter Editor)
- New: Selection matches up tree view or is sorted by name (can be set in Parameter Editor)
- New: Option to save densities in document
- Improved: FreeCAD alike Gui look and feel
- Improved: Scaled color palette (from green to red) to colorify shapes

- Improved: Internal tracking of units
- Fix: Handling of groups and group objects
- Fix: Handling of App::Link
- Fix: Replaced deprecated Qt class
0.4.2 / 2019-06-09 : - check last version number on github and popup if not last version - automatic update of show CdG (if it exists) when densities are changed - bug correction when changing radius
0.4.1 / 2019-05-25 : add default density button, sphere cursor, change window behavior, correct a container part issue
0.3.6 / 2019-05-22 : Radius of pheres representing centers of mass of each solid depends on each masses
0.3.5 / 2019-05-21 : Arrays and clone correction
0.3.4 / 2019-03-18 : minor
0.3.3 / 2019-03-17 : loading .csv corrections
0.3.2 / 2019-03-14 : add a colorify push button to add color on shapes depending on their density
