[h3]Changes[/h3]

(Alpha 3 → Beta 1) Added lock for transform inputs.

(Alpha 3 → Beta 1) Updated EULA with clearer wording (especially regarding exported files), plus new sections clarifying for example that all generated data stays local.

(Alpha 2 → Alpha 3) Animation improvements.

- Added graph editor for keys.

- Added buttons to jump to previous and next key.

- Input sub-tracks (vectors, colors, etc.) can now be edited individually.

- Improved ruler and dope sheet readability for tracks.

(Alpha 1 → Alpha 2) Improved animation management.

- Added a new tree system and the ability to organize animations into folders.

- Animations are now managed as objects, reducing the number of displayed properties in the animation panel.

- Improved undo/redo support for keys and tracks properties.

(Alpha 1 → Alpha 2) Updated to Godot Engine version 4.5.

Rest/Pose is now a global system for all objects.

- Changes in Rest Pose set the default value for all animations.
