 +===== Version 2020.07.20 =====
 +
 +  * Added the first version of the Polygon Picker and added docs ([[tools:polygon-picker]]) 
 +    * There's still a known issue with some meshes not being picked up correctly. We'd appreciate sample scenes if you encounter that issue as well.
 +  * Added a Plugin to open the start page of the db&w Tools wiki from Layout: ([[tools:toolsdoc]])

 +    * This is feature complete for now, but I will change implementation details based on user requests if required.
 +    * Again, sorry for the delay. But once I managed to untangle the main issue I was having, it was fairly smooth sailing.
 +
 +===== Version 2020.07.01 =====
 +
 +  * Added the initial UV Transform tool as a preview.
 +    * as mentioned in the video, a few things are missing
 +    * click on the corner handles to scale, shift-click to scale the opposite corner as well
 +    * click on the edge handle to scale along the respective axis, shift-click to scale the opposite edge as well.
 +    * click on the cross in the middle to move, ctrl-click to snap to the most prominent axis
 +    * click on the far right handle to scale everything along the centre, ctrl-click to scale proportionally
 +    * rotation has been dropped for now
 +    * fit opens a window where the UVs can be fit to the 0..1 space either proportionally or by stretching.
 +    * if the centre is currently outside of the 0..1 uv range, the fitting will be within the current UDIM tile as determined by the centre position.
 +    * the viewports don't update while the "Fit..." panel is open.
 +    * You can also use the four numeric values to manually enter a range to fit to. 
 +
 +===== Version 2020.05.08 =====
