0.9.6.5Change Log
Additions
- You can now trigger a recalculation of rigging zones by selecting a mesh that is attached to multiple bones, and pressing M (hold shift to force a simplified recalculation that is independent of the mesh size)
- When a mesh is attached to a parent that has defined rigging zones, any vertices not included in these zones will be highlighted in red
Changes and Enhancements
- When attaching a mesh to multiple bones, if the automatically calculated rigging zones overlap, the system will now automatically recalculate them using a simplified method that is independent of the mesh size
- Bones are now thinner and less obstructive, and grow in size when hovered to maintain ease of selection and manipulation
- Additional changes under the hood to support runtime development
Bug Fixes
- Addressed several edge cases where attaching multiple meshes to the same parent could lead to unpredictable behavior
- Fixed a bug where the animation and onion skinning context menus were appearing too far from the cursor when activated while timelines were expanded
Known issues
- Non-mesh children of strokes don't update in real-time when using ik
- Visual bug when images armed for adding swappable image and mesh in reposition mode
- Some pop-up ui elements appear below panels
- Z-order window images do no change when mesh images are swapped

Hello everyone. We will try to get out another small update before Christmas next Friday, but if not, our next update will be January 5th. We're closing in on the feature complete beta, focusing on fixing the remaining bugs and polishing the final elements for a smooth user experience. This update is a bit modest in scope, but much of our efforts this cycle were channeled into the Unity runtime.
Wishing you all a Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and a wonderful New Year!

Hello everyone. We've made significant behind-the-scenes changes in our latest release. We’ve restructured project files, separating runtime and editor data, which is a substantial step towards both the feature complete beta and the first runtimes. We also implemented a comprehensive project file testing and troubleshooting framework to ensure file input/output is as reliable as possible. This foundational work took precedence in this cycle, so we're back to working on the the workflow flexibility improvements for next release. Thanks for your continued support.
0.9.4.5

We're pushing this release back to the next cycle in 2 weeks. We've laid the groundwork for the Unity plugin, but no ETA for that just yet. The focus of this upcoming release will be on allowing more flexibility in workflow, specifically in regards to the order of actions, as we close in on the feature-complete beta. Sorry for the delay and thanks for your patience.
