  • Fixed mistake in face expression constant.
  • Added vertex position set support.

DragonScript

  • Fix for PopupWindow potentially sending message to itself.
  • Fixed is-scaled parameter not properly set if Element.setGeometry(Vector,Vector,Vector) is used.
  • Fixed ComboBox sending mouse wheel event to parent.
  • Modified TextField focus selection behavior.

  • Fixed BoxLayout available size distribution not working correctly if last elements are invisible.

DEAnimator

  • Improving IK handling with correct angle calculation.

OpenGL

  • Fixed problem with windows hiding mouse pointer in window title bar and border.
  • Extended the windows SSBO+DSA nVidia bug to AMD too. seems windows in general has a problem with SSBO+DSA.
  • Fixed model cache inconsistency.
  • Added support for vertex position sets.
  • Added vr debug panel support. panel shows on right wrist if turned towards the user.
  • Fixed strange gpu bug producing nan values when writing to "out float *" in shader to a float texture. using "out vec4 *" fixes the problem.
  • Added vsyncmode module property.
  • Fence deadlock fix on nvidia.
  • Added mutex protection against rare lockup on exit.
  • SSAO reduction optimization.
  • Added compiling/loading shader overlay to inform user about reason for loading times.

  • Optimized rendering using GPU based render task handling.
  • Added explcit logging of unsupported extensions to make it clearer why the game engine could not be started.
  • Fixed bug in GI shadow depth offset causing GI errors in certain maps.
  • Fixed possible concurrent access problem while loading skins.
  • Improvement on shader loading handling.
  • Fixed problem with light occlusion query being fumbled up if mirrors are nearby.

Animated PNG

OpenXR

  • Fix for potential segfault starting VR runtime.
  • Fixed exception in script system due to vr shutdown not sending input device changed notification.
  • Modified hand tracking to use world space instead of device space. this fixes broken vive vr driver which always returns world space although device space has been requested.
  • Modified swapchain creation to check for a bunch of supported formats that do not require extra work.
  • Added support for eye gazer tracking.
  • Added support for facial tracking.

Speech Animation Editor

  • Supporting vertex position sets in addition to moves.

Conversation Editor

  • Fixed memory leak.

Blender Plugin

  • Improving and adding shape key tools.
  • Added support to copy/paste shape key vertex positions with optional mirroring.
