Changelog

Fixes

Changelog

Fixes

• Fixed an issue where Batch Arrange could crash on certain geometry node trees.

Changelog

Fixes

• Fixed an issue where the link crossings created by the order of links in a multi-input wouldn't be counted.
• Fixed an issue where the spacing around frames could differ depending on screen DPI and resolution scale.
• Fixed an issue where frames with shrink disabled wouldn't be properly accounted for.

Changelog

Fixes

Changelog

Fixes

• Fixed an issue where nodes could have unbalanced vertical positions in node trees with frames.
• Fixed an issue where unnecessary link crossings could be created.
• Fixed an issue where frames could overlap.
• Fixed an issue where the bounding boxes of frames could be unnecessarily wide.

Changelog

Improvements

• Nodes in frames now have balanced vertical positions.
• Reroutes linked to multiple outputs now align with other reroutes in node trees with frames.
• Reroutes now pick better sockets to align with.
• Nodes now preserve their original vertical order where possible.

Fixes

• Fixed an issue where frames with nested frames could intertwine.

• Fixed an issue where an error could be given when arranging nested frames.
• Fixed an issue where the spacing between frames could be too small.
• Fixed an issue where reroutes could be misaligned with sockets.
• Fixed an issue where unnecessary link crossings could be created with frames that have only reroutes or frames as children.

Changelog

Improvements

• Links from the same output are now merged, giving a major boon to readability.
• Recenter Selected and Recenter Node Trees no longer cause node trees to be re-evaluated.
• Crossing minimisation is improved.
• Less unnecessary reroutes are created.
• The additional height added by frame labels is now accounted for.

Fixes

• Fixed an issue where the order links in multi-inputs could be changed.
• Fixed an issue where increasing/decreasing Spacing X could have the opposite effect.
• Fixed an issue where an error could be given with nested frames.
• Fixed an issue where reroutes with custom labels could be removed.
• Fixed an issue where reroutes could be misaligned with inputs if unconnected sockets are hidden.
• Fixed an issue where an error would be given if Spacing X is set to 0.
• Fixed an issue where an error would be given if a frame with only reroutes has a segment with an unconnected input.

Changelog

Fixes

• Fixed a regression where unnecessary link overlap could be created in and around frames.
• Fixed an issue where operators were able to be invoked outside the sidebar under incorrect conditions.

Changelog

Fixes

• Fixed an issue where the hotkey for Recenter Selected wouldn't work.
