New Circuit Diagram 2 0 Beta 1 Released

This release includes a number of changes to make designing circuits easier, including automatic flipping of components when placing them and dragging from right to left or bottom to top. Documents can also be resized and there are many improvements to the use of keyboard shortcuts, including the ability to delete components by pressing the delete key on the keyboard.

Please see below for the full list of changes.

Thumbnails are now shown in Windows Explorer for Circuit Diagram Documents, as shown in the picture below. This feature has been difficult to get working, and there may be problems with the thumbnails not appearing - please leave a comment to let me know if they are working or not.
