[h2]0.9.2[/h2]
[h2]Change Log[/h2]

Additions

• Added step easing curve option

Changes and Enhancements

• Implemented an isolated undo stack for Test Rig Mode, preserving the ability to toggle between undo and redo actions without without compromising the integrity of previous changes in the main undo stack.
• Laid the foundation for some frequently requested substantial overhauls of key UI elements.

Bug Fixes

• Multiple general stability fixes
• Fixed a bug where certain invisible rigging elements would affect automatic export box cropping
• Fixed multiple bugs where certain rapidly overlapping actions could cause display artifacts for ui animations
• Fixed a bug where attempting to switch to animation mode when already in animation mode would hide some of the ui elements
• Fixed a bug where locked object were still moveable with softdragging tools

Known issues

• Non-mesh children of strokes don't update in real-time when using ik

Much requested UI updates coming soon:

Hello everyone. Apologies for the slightly delayed and less comprehensive build than usual. A series of events contributed to this, including migrating to a new development rig with a fresh OS install, immediately followed by a malfunctioning air conditioner during an extreme heat advisory. We will resume our usual schedule and output from here.

[h2]0.9.1.5[/h2][h2]Change Log[/h2]

Additions

• Added selection groups for setting and recalling named selections (selection groups are not saved yet, but will save in future versions)

Changes and Enhancements

• Massive optimizations to rerigging operations that occur when dragging and dropping multiple rigging objects attached to a multi-bone mesh

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a but where changing the rigging points of a multi-bone mesh would not immediately cause the mesh subdivision to be calculated until an additional change was made(leaving the subdivision one change behind at all times)
• Fixed a but where changing the rigging points by dragging a rigging mesh connecting line would only affect one of the two dragged points at a time

Known issues

• Non-mesh children of strokes don't update in real-time when using ik

[h2]0.9.1[/h2]
[h2]Change Log[/h2]

Additions

• Added Hide Selected and Unhide All buttons to the status bar. Hidden objects are automatically locked

Changes and Enhancements

• Horizontal and vertical flips now use the center of the original image (including transparent borders) as an axis, instead of the generated polygon's center

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a bug where projects with flattened PSDs used as images wouldn't load
• Fixed a bug where right-clicking a child bone in rigging or rig-testing mode would cause two different menus to pop-up. Now combined into one
• Fixed a bug where flipped images would revert to their default unreflected state upon assignment to bones or contour deformers
• Fixed a bug where attempting to undo the creation of a bone could fail, leaving the program in an unstable state.
• Fixed a bug where using IK with multiple bones selected would cause invisible rigging objects to become permanently visible

Known issues

• Non-mesh children of strokes don't update in real-time when using ik
