v.1.5.5 (October 8, 2020)

• Added: Flatten UVs of Tiles. This will take the shape of the tiles and apply it to their UVs so that the UVs match the shape of the tile. Choose "Transform > Flatten" from the UVs context menu. You must have the UVs selected that you want flattened.
  
• Added: Rotate UVs by holding Shift and clicking and dragging the UVs. UVs will rotate around the crosshair. Keep Shift held to rotate at the intervals specified in the Rotation input box. You can also hold Shift to snap to another UV coordinate to align edges simply.
  
• Added: Rotation input box in the UVs panel to control the angle of rotations.
  
• Added: Next/previous tileset stuff on UVs tab.
  
• Added: Shortcut keys ctrl+[ and ctrl+] for switch tilesets. Now works on UVs panel.
  
• Added: Combine selected vertices together and place them at the Crosshair position. Press the . (period) key while vertices are selected.
  
• Added: Shortcut key (B) for toggling the "Select single/multiple" button in the UVs panel.
  
• Changed: Adjusted the edge highlighting. Now only visible when using the Sticky tool. Also slightly thinner.
  
• Fixed: Holding Shift to snap UV coordinates to other UV coordinates wouldn't work.
  
• Fixed: Clicking vertices wouldn't work properly if tiles had been reversed or flipped (due to changes with the additions of the sticky tool).
  
• Fixed: Dragging vertices wouldn't work properly due to introduction of the sticky tool.
  
• Fixed: Clicking and hovering over vertices in Orthographic mode wouldn't work properly.

• Added: Shortcut key for switching between orthographic and perspective modes (Alt+9).
  
• Added: French language is now available in the application (press F2 to open the About panel and select from the Language dropdown list).

In version 1.5.3 there is now a new Block tool and Sticky tool! These allow you to add tiles and build your scene quicker. Watch the video below to see them in action. You can add and remove blocks similar to Minecraft, and place them at other angles as well as edit their shape and geometry. The Sticky tool allows you to add tiles next to other preexisting tiles without having to move the crosshair. The tilebrush just snaps to the edges of tiles that your mouse hovers over.

There are also many other additions, changes, and fixes so check the patchnotes below for a full list of improvements!

• Changed: Copying and Applying UVs to and from the Tilebrush will now also change the tileset as well.

• Fixed: Exporting multiple objects would fail if "Export all images/mtl" was unchecked and objects weren't using any tiles from currently selected tileset.
  
• Fixed: If pressing multiple mouse buttons at the same time over and over again, it would cause an error that would make the scene become unresponsive.
  
• Fixed: Adding prefab objects to the scene via left-clicking would not take into account if there was already an object placed there.
  
• Fixed?: Undoing the 'Combine Tileset' operation wouldn't restore some tiles to their correct tileset.
