PixelOver 0.18.1 - Animation Improvements

Hello! This is finally the stable release of the update featuring major animation improvements.

The animation system has been significantly enhanced with animation save/load support, a graph editor, and a global Rest/Pose system.

[h3]Roadmap and news[/h3]
[h3]Documentation and tutorials[/h3]

[h3]Changes[/h3]

(RC 1 → Stable) Updated to Godot Engine version 4.6.

(Beta 2 → RC 1) Added the ability to save and load animations.

(Beta 2 → RC 1) Advanced animation selection (move, flip, and scale selected keys).

(Beta 2 → RC 1) Improved drawing selection: using the same selection tool with right-click now subtracts from the selection. Added flip and rotation options to the selection menu.

(Beta 1 → Beta 2) Added missing settings for custom canvas origin.

(Alpha 3 → Beta 1 → Beta 2) Added locking for transform inputs.

The last selected mesh deformation point value is now displayed and can be locked.

(Alpha 3 → Beta 1) Updated the EULA with clearer wording (especially regarding exported files), and added new sections clarifying that all generated data remains local.

(Alpha 2 → Alpha 3) Animation improvements

- Added a graph editor for animation keys.

- Added buttons to jump to the previous and next key.

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

- Improved ruler and dope sheet readability.

(Alpha 1 → Alpha 2) Improved animation management.

- Added a new tree system and folder-based animation organization.

- Animations are now managed as objects, reducing clutter in the animation panel.

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

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

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

- Changes made in Rest Pose define default values for all animations.

- Changes made in Pose Mode affect only the selected animation.

Added a drawing tool option to keep the object on top while drawing.

Added copy/paste support for shaders.

Improved animation track synchronization with object selection.

Improved the Add Track dialog with a tab system (particle properties are now separated from other properties).

Added a setting to choose the default pixel-scaling algorithm.

Added an Escape key shortcut to deselect all tracks and keys.
