Notes
We're now focusing on reliability and bug fixes as we move towards a stable release, which hopefully will be ready in the next few weeks. This release has fixes for some further issues with 3D model, as well as correcting some regressions from recent releases. One notable update for 3D model is that the old options to set a single mesh, or multiple meshes by a string, are now deprecated in favor of the newer and more flexible options to enable or disable individual meshes or all meshes.
One small addition that did make this release is the Animations Editor now has dedicated buttons to pick opaque black, opaque white, and transparency. This helps make it quicker to use these common colors.
As ever there are some more changes and fixes which are detailed in the full changelog below. Happy testing!
