 +===== Version 2021.10.28 =====
  
-===== Version 2020.01.29 =====+  * Added "After IK" as an option to the spline motion modifier. 
 +  * Fixed an issue in the spline motion modifier where it wouldn't evaluate knots attached to nulls properly. 
 +  * Add the first build of the [[tools:second_unit]]  master plugin. Please get back to use with ideas of which other settings you'd like to store per camera. Render buffers will be coming next.
  
-  * The Spline Deformer node is feature complete, World Coordinates and the Reference Item work as well now. +===== Version 2021.10.15 =====
-  * A Spline Displacement Modifier, to be used directly in the Object panel, will be added in the next few days. +
-  * Minor tweaks to the Spline Deformer node. +
-  * Added the documentation for dbwOpenDir and the Spline Deformer node.+
  
-===== Version 2020.01.24 =====+  * Fixed an issues with the Spline Tools (and possible other items) due to changes made in the Animation Channel support code for the Spline Morph Deformer.
  
-  * **Preview Build** +===== Version 2021.10.12 =====
-  * This build includes the first version of the Spline Deformer node. World Coordinates and the Reference Object are currently not supported. +
-  * "dbwOpenDir" has been included as well, this generic plugin opens the LW Settings directory in Explorer/Finder by default, but can also open other directories.+
  
 +  * Fixed an issue in the Spline Morph Deformer where 100% in a non-closed spline looped
 +  * Now the Spline Morph Deformer is included in the Mac build as well. D'oh.
  
-===== Version 2019.12.18 =====+===== Version 2021.10.07a =====
  
-  * Added the first changes to the Spline Toolkit: +  * Fixed an issues in the Spline Morph Deformer where it would crash when added to an item without points (such as a null object). 
-    * Add the option to evaluate a spline at a real world distance along the spline, as opposed to a % +  * Deactivated the Preview by default for the Spline Morph Deformer.
-    * Patron Request: Added command to add and edit a spline in one go. +
-    * Patron Request: Added relative distance evaluation mode, which uses a percentage but based on the spline lenght to allow for constant speed along the spline. +
-    * Fixed a crash if the evaluation/display steps are set to 0. Why do you do this to me? ;) +
-  * **A Merry Christmas to all of our patrons** - This year you get the Instance Inspector node as a present:[[tools:instance_inspector]]+
  
-===== Version 2019.12.02 =====+===== Version 2021.10.07 =====
  
-  * Added a viewport button to toggle the DoF for the selected camera to the [[tools:dofhelper]]. +  * Finally got the preview release of the [[tools:splinemorph-deformer]] deformer done. There is also a sample scene in the content. 
-  * Removed the need for a Projection node for many plugins. If the Projection input is not connected, the default UV Map will be used. This concerns [[tools:weave]], [[tools:multiimage_sampler|]] and [[tools:random_image_mapper|]].+  * Worked on fixing issues with the distribution script when patching non-ascii characters into the Windows binaries.
  
 +===== Version 2021.07.04 =====
  
-===== Version 2019.11.25 =====+  * Fixed an issue where the (hidden) Instance Picker Master Plugin would disable all other gizmos used by LW, such as those used to move items.
  
-  * Added a new view mode to [[tools:dofhelper]], updated the documentation. +===== Version 2021.07.03 =====

-===== Version 2019.11.22 =====+  * Fixed an issue where the settings of the Multi-Variable node weren't copied. 
 +  * Fixed the channel path for the Channel Reference Node 
 +  * Tried to make the channel picker for the Channel Reference node resizeable - but LightWave 3D said: No!
  
-  * Added the Preview version of [[tools:dofhelper]], the Plugin of the Month for November 2019. +===== Version 2021.06.25 =====
-  * Added [[tools:weave]], a 2D Texture node as a bonus for #ThankYouPatrons day. And yes, we really do thank all of our patrons. :) [[tools:weave]]+
  
-===== Version 2019.11.11 =====+  * Added the first version of the Channel Reference node.
  
-  * S-Tk: Fixed issues with the undo not working as expected. If you still find any issues, please get in touch with specific steps. +===== Version 2021.06.04 =====
-  * 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 2019.10.04 =====+  * Added a Strength % to the Normal map output of the PBR Set node 
 +  * Fixed an issue of the code signed .plugin crashin on macOS. Unfortunately this also removes the personalised thank you message from the about panel. Basically, patching the .plugin to insert the patron name after the plugin has been code signed caused the issue.
  
-  * 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 2021.05.30 =====
-===== 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.+  * Various additions and fixes for the [[tools:xform-deformer|]]: 
 +    * Added a Strength value for the transformation as well as the components.

 +    * Fixed the transformation order on local coordinates (rotation and translation were swapped).
  
-===== Version 2019.09.11 =====  +===== Version 2021.05.26 =====
-  * S-Tk: Fixed the spline edit tool crashing then a spline with no knots is closed.+
  
-===== Version 2019.08.27 ===== +  * Added the preview build for the [[tools:xform-deformer|]]. It can be considered feature complete except for interactive handles missing completely. 
-  * S-Tk: Fixed various issues with the evaluation and draw caches not always updating as expected while editing a spline.+===== Version 2021.05.13 =====
  
-===== Version 2019.08.25 ===== +  * The last build destroyed the GUI for the Triplanar Texture mapping node. This build restores it. 
-  * S-Tk: Added the [[tools:s-tk:displacement-node|]] to the Plugin of the Month. +  * The Triplanar mapping for the Texture Repetition node was never saved properly. Now it is.

-  * 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.+  * Added a Normal Multi-Mixer node. 
 +  * Fixed an issue where spline control points wouldn't follow nulls in world coordinates.  
 +===== Version 2021.03.07 =====
  
 +  * Fixed an issue where the Wheel Rotation node wouldn't rotate the wheel without a cache
 +  * Fixed an issue in the Material Multi-Mixer, materials weren't mixed properly
 +  * Made sure that no negative numbers can be entered for the S-Tk spline display steps.
  
-===== Version 2019.08.08 ===== 
  
-  * S-Tk: Changes to alignment and the edit tool: +===== Version 2021.02.16 =====
-    * 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! +

-    * There's a whole section on the wiki dedicated to it: https://wiki.db-w.com/tools/s-tk/start +    * Made various scratch parameters even **more random**(tm) 
-    * Known issues: Orientation along the spline is still wonky and requires a second look and more thought. +    * Tweaked the Rotation output to allow for full rotations.
-  * 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.+
