 ====== Changes ======
+<WRAP important> We recommend removing any previous versions in the LightWave 3D plug-in editor and re-adding the current one to make sure that all new plugins are available.</WRAP>
+===== Version 2019.11.11 =====
+  * S-Tk: Fixed issues with the undo not working as expected. If you still find any issues, please get in touch with specific steps.
+  * S-Tk: Added empty lines to the RMB menus to group related items.
+  * Halloween is over and our hidden change is gone as well.
+===== Version 2019.11.01 =====
+  * S-Tk: Added the new shape animation tools to the db&w Spline primitive as well as the Spline Edit tool. [[tools:s-tk:layout-tool-animation#shape_animation|Edit Tool: Shape Animation]]
+  * This is pumpkin themed, Halloween special edition - if you can spot it. The next release will be back to normal.
+===== Version 2019.10.04 =====
+  * S-Tk: Re-worked the drawing of the spline "shadow". It is now drawn in world space at the back (from the view position) of the bounding box for the spline, using the axis colours. \\ Known Issues: If the transformation of the item hosting the db&w Spline primitive is changed ((usually by changing it interactively, i.e. moving the item)), the shadow will sometimes not update until you scrub a frame.
+===== Version 2019.10.02 =====
+  * S-Tk: Added animation to the Spline Tool ( [[tools:s-tk:layout-tool-animation]] ) and made sure the evaluating plugins use it as well. Please consider this as a beta/preview release for now.
+===== Version 2019.09.11 =====
+  * S-Tk: Fixed the spline edit tool crashing then a spline with no knots is closed.
+===== Version 2019.08.27 =====
+  * S-Tk: Fixed various issues with the evaluation and draw caches not always updating as expected while editing a spline.
+===== Version 2019.08.25 =====
+  * S-Tk: Added the [[tools:s-tk:displacement-node|]] to the Plugin of the Month.
+    * Fixed an issue where mis-clicking while the Spline Edit tool was active would select another item.
+===== Version 2019.08.20 =====
+  * S-Tk: Added the Plugin of the Month: [[tools:s-tk:proximity-node|]].
+    * Added an option to display the "shadow" of the selected spline in the Spline Preferences
+    * Added an option to save the current settings as defaults in the Spline Preferences. This are stored in the LW config directory.
+    * Some performance tweaks to when the spline primitive pre-computes caches.
+===== Version 2019.08.08a =====
+  * S-Tk: Fixed an issue of the spline editor crashing if an item that doesn't contain a spline was selected and some various operations were performed.
+===== Version 2019.08.08 =====
+  * S-Tk: Changes to alignment and the edit tool:
+    * Twist is gone, the alignment is now controlled using an up vector that can be edited
+    * Due to changes in how the alignment is computed, the evaluation steps setting is gone now.
+    * A bug the caused the evaluation per span not to work as expected has been fixed
+    * While editing a spline using the Layout Tool, a new spline can be selected for editing. Caution: This clears the undo stack!
+    * Changed the prefs by adding a tab for selected and deselected splines. The alignment drawing can be selected for each of these states.
+    * Some sample scenes have been created for the Spline Toolkit. The link is included in the mails sent to patrons.
+=====Version 2019.08.03=====
+  * S-Tk: The first stage of the Spline Toolkit is included:
+    * Now it works on macOS as well
+    * There's a whole section on the wiki dedicated to it: https://wiki.db-w.com/tools/s-tk/start
+    * Known issues: Orientation along the spline is still wonky and requires a second look and more thought.
+  * Channel Blender now has the option to swap channel components around
+  * Scene Comment is back and now it's using LW's internal text editor component.
+===== Version 2019.07.03 =====
+  * Added a button to the respective documentation in the wiki to all plugins that display the db&w Tools logo in the GUI.
+  * Added Preview version of S-tk - More information is available here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/update-first-s-28101403
+  * Added dbwTools.cfg, which can be imported as a menu branch in the Layout Menu Editor.

+  * Added matrix operations to [[multi-maths]], this is the release version.
+===== Version 2019.05.20=====

+    * a right click will recall the last settings used by the tool during the current modelling session.
+    * there is a glitch in the GUI sizing code, due to a bug in LW. Changing the size of the panel will fix it.
+    * The documentation will be added to the wiki soon.
+  * Fixed an issue in the Luminosity gamma of all simple colour correction tools, which could lead to a hang while rendering.
+===== Version 2019.03.19 =====
+  * Includes the first preview version of the UV Distort tool for Modeler. Select a UV map, select some geometry, activate the tool and work away in a UV view.
+  * Includes the Motion Vector Node for the OD Houdini Shelf Tools
+  * various small fixes

-=== Version 2.1 ===
-  * The Tint Strength input in the Simple Colour Corrector Node was of the colour type, but should be a scalar.
-  * Added Material Tweaker

-  * Added "No Radiosity Reflectivity" to Schlick's, causing it to set the reflectivy to 0% for all rays that sample radiosity
-  * Speed up to the Cache node
-  * The "Clamp" option wasn't copied with the Remap node
