v1.6.4

v.1.6.4 (May 27, 2021)

Added: You can now scale objects!
Added: Camera objects now have a Target that they point towards. You can also disable this in the Camera's properties if you prefer.
Added: Cameras and Camera targets can now be selected and moved just like any other object.
Added: Properties in the Transform panel. Set the position,rotation,scale of selected elements (objects, cameras, etc).
Added: Objects, Cameras and their targets will now round to nearest pixel or grid when this operation is performed (previously vertices only were affected).
Added: Snap crosshair and Snap gizmo actions will now include objects,camera,lights,etc if mouse is hovering over them. This allows you to easily reposition the crosshair or gizmo to their positions.
Added: Context menus for Cameras. You can right-click a selected Camera or target to bring up a context menu.
Added: New information for Cameras and Transforms in the Howto and Localization.
Fixed: Drawing tiles into the 3d scene would result with tiny gaps between tiles. This is now fixed!
Fixed: Dragging beyond edge of Tileset while panning would cause it to nudge at the same time.
Fixed: Resetting the rotation of an object and then editing it would revert back the rotation.
Fixed: Apply Tilebrush UVs to selected tiles, via the Tile panel context menu; Would cause selected tiles in Objects to look selected but not function as selected.
Fixed: Rounding vertices to nearest pixel would instead round them to the grid when undoing/redoing that operation.
Fixed: The cube skybox would display the top and bottom portions rotated 90 degrees from the expected orientation in the texture.
Fixed: Changing the Base-pixel unit size and rescaling the scene wouldn't scale cameras or other entities.

Fixed?: When pressing multiple keys on international keyboards, the generated charcodes would cause the key bindings to stop working.
