New Spriter 2 Alpha Build - Big Bone Update!

This build is focused on bones and bone rigging and marks a large step toward 1.0. The focus over the next two to three weeks will be to improve in-editor documentation and help features to make it easy to pick up and play.
[h2]0.0.0.26[/h2]

[h2]Change Log[/h2]
Additions
  • Added 'Z' shortcut to select all child bones and ancestors of selected bone
Changes and Enhancements
  • Made bones thinner
  • Made default mesh triangulation more triangulated (will be manually adjustable in a future update)
  • Bones now work with save and load
  • Made it so adding additional meshes to an existing bone rig recalculates suggested bounds for rigs
  • Made it so assigning a new child to a bone or deformer doesn't select the child object (to make rigging larger characters more efficient and intuitive)
  • Removed the ability to edit ligament control points outside of rigging mode (it was generally not useful and created interface clutter)
  • Bone angle gizmo now takes precedent over bone bodies, making it easier to drag angles of parent bones
  • Removed the need for the warning shortcut to enable bones. Bones are out of pre-alpha
Bug Fixes
  • Fixed a bug that allowed two of the same bone parenting relationship to be created, causing buggy behavior
  • Fixed a bug that caused overlapping rigging zones to attempt transformations multiple times causing buggy behavior (now subsequent rigs will ignore verts already assigned zones)
  • Fixed bugs that caused multiple undos to be necessary to reverse certain single operations
  • Fixed a bug causing buggy behavior when attempting to drag undraggable meshes
  • Fixed a bug causing buggy behavior in other parts of a complex rig when dragging objects
  • Fixed a bug where adjusting a mesh's reference angle or position in rigging mode caused buggy behavior
  • Fixed a bug where after loading, adjusting a mesh's reference angle or position wouldn't reflect in real time while adjusting
Known Issues
  • Undo and Redo don't always function correctly with the new features
  • Visual bug when dragging out new images. Sometimes image disappears momentarily
  • Double entries for images in z-order
  • Changes to z-order in rigging mode not reflected in animation
  • Occasional visual glitches while editing animations
  • Save and Load not working reliably in all situations
  • Images saved from certain image editors will acquire artifacts when they have antialiased edges where the alpha isn't fully opaque or transparent. These issues aren't exclusive to Spriter 2 and will affect any game engine that doesn't preprocess them. These pre-processing functions will be introduced in a future version, and can be ignored for now.
  • Dragging out more than one of the same images doesn't function correctly.
