What's new with this patch? Like always - a lot of things! This is
primarily a bug
fixing and
feature-enhancement release. Here are the most noteworthy improvements:
- A handful of plugins that didn't work with alpha now
work. Not all of them still, but more.
- The ones that are still hold-outs are ones like spherize,
globe and black hole.
- There's a new error diffuse plugin for 1 bit dithering.
- There's a new plugin command to retrieve the bounds of the
alpha selection - very usefull for optimising filters.
- Several plugins now work within the bounds of the alpha
selection as appropriate. RGB cube for example fits the cube
inside the bounds of the selection. Video/slate fits so you can
draw a box and render the slate into selection.
- There are menu items for a number of plugins that didn't
have them.
- There's a new checkerboard plugin for making checkerboards.
- Changed icon imagery on the animation panel, because people
were confusion
the + and - buttons with the < and > buttons.
- Removed some things from the zoom panel so it has a better
chance of fitting
under the tool panel, and it no loger sticks to the tool panel.
- And my favorite change, the Mystic Vision plugin now has an
interface just
like zoom blur.
- Also
added super secret experimental feature that turns off undos and all
features that contribute to slugishness on mouse downs.
(Activated by the END key)
- Made 'level' in the light diffusion filter a linear value
so it's more intuitive (and consistent with the timeline now)
- Added interface to mystic vision plugin and updated zoom
plugin so it refreshes when you change the quality and factor settings.
