v.2.4.4 (October 31, 2024)

• Added: "Rectangle Fill" action. Hold Shift and click and drag while using the Tilebrush to place a rectangular area of tiles. You can also erase with right mouse button. The modifier key can be changed in Buttons > Draw Mode > Rectangle Fill.
  
• Added: "Round to Precision" and "Round to Grid" actions in UVs panel. These can be found in the context-menu when right=clicking the canvas, or by pressing their keybindings (alt+o and ctrl+o). The keybindings can be customized in the Edit > Buttons > UVs section.
  
• Added: "Camera-based when single-clicking" option in Edit > Settings > Edit Mode section. If enabled, it will make single-clicks act as if Camera-based selection is active. This is enabled by default.
  
• Added: "Disable Gizmo Temporarily" keybinding in Edit > Buttons > Edit mode. When the key is held, you won't be able to interact with the Gizmo. This can help prevent clicking the Gizmo when selecting if the keybinding is set to Shift for example.
  
• Added: "Cast Against" option in Baking panel for lights to check against Objects.
  
• Fixed: Textures for gltf/glb/dae were exported even though "Export all textures" option was disabled.
  
• Fixed: Saving would cause the faces,edges,vertices,bones or instances inside Skinned objects to become deselected if the object was currently being edited.
  
• Fixed: The dropdown items in the Skin section of the Transform panel were being sized incorrectly on some linux machines causing the buttons to be cut off.
  
• Fixed: Repositioning an Object's origin point while editing the object caused an error which resulted in some visual discrepencies of the tiles and other potential issues. Also fixed an error when undoing/redoing it while editing the Object.
  
• Fixed: Changing the origin point of an Object wouldn't update its mirrored tiles if the Object had that property enabled.
  
• Fixed: Undoing an imported scene would fail to remove tiles that weren't part of any object.
  
• Fixed: The Gizmo didn't reposition with the selection when using q,e,r,f keys to rotate,mirror,flip.
  
• Fixed: Importing models that contain objects that are scaled/transformed would cause issues with vertices displaying incorrectly when editing the Object.
  
• Fixed: In some cases after first running the app the viewport wouldn't refresh accurately when hovering over things.
  
• Fixed: When Alt+Tabbing from an input box, the Alt modifier key wasn't reset causing it to do 0.01 increments/decrements when Shift was held.
  
• Fixed: Holding Ctrl to select nearest vertex when clicking on face wouldn't work if face selection is disabled.
  
• Fixed: Could momentarily select vertices when holding Ctrl and clicking face even if Vertex selection was disabled.

v.2.4.3 (October 10, 2024)

• Added: Buttons next to the UV Tilesize, UV Padding, and 3D Tilescale inputs. They toggle whether the values are linked. If linked, changing one value will set them all to the same value so that you don't have to change each one.
  
• Added: "Open Recent List" keybinding. This will open a list of recent scenes.
  
• Improved: Performance should be improved when rotating/panning/zooming the Camera or using Freelook mode.
  
• Improved: Now the Buttons panel won't reorder the keys when setting a keybinding that uses multiple keys. This should allow a bit more flexibility in some cases, but may need further testing.
  
• Improved: When "Deselect when clicked nothing" is enabled, holding the "Select Multiple" key will prevent deselecting.
  
• Fixed: Couldn't click on decals if they were positioned against an object.
  
• Fixed: When "Disable Face selection" was enabled edges became difficult to click.
  
• Fixed: In some cases, using the q and e keys in Freelook mode wouldn't activate if already moving.
  
• Fixed?: Some inputs would get set to NaN if the value entered wasn't a valid number.

v.2.4.2 (September 16, 2024)

• Added: Save/Load uv animation options in the UV Animation menu. Check UV Animations section of the documentation for details about the menu options.
  
• Fixed: Repositioning the Origin point of an animated/skinned model would cause bones/children to become offset.
  
• Fixed: The Painting panel could freeze after panning if the Setting > Tileset > "Painting Right Mouse Function" was set to "Secondary". This is now fixed.
  
• Fixed: When rendering a movie gif, resetting the background color wouldn't work.
  
• Fixed: If user was using a Steam version, closing Steam would prevent Crocotile from saving even if Steam was restarted. This should be improved.
