  3. NEW: Apply mirror modifier if it exists before mesh export
  4. NEW: Scale applied before export of mesh (2)
  5. IMP: Modifier aware mesh info panel
  6. FIX: resetting distance constraint no longer necessary when scaling armature
  7. FIX: fixed the visibility of motion transfer ui
  8. GUI: moved expressions into object properties tab.
  9. GUI: moved Hand posture into object properties tab.
  10. GUI: moved animation export into render tab
  11. GUI: bone names for weight adjust now searchable menu from vertex groups
  12. FIX: fixed visual glitch with blender 2.62 with properties and default labels

!!! NOTE: There is more to come. We decided to add some more features before release. Keep tuned !!!
(1): Targetless IK also has a new UI (panel) for

  1. adjusting the chain length,
    including rapidly setting it to the parent/whole limb/COG
  2. increasing and decreasing the chain length intelligently skiping over locked bones
  3. switching to either have the tip of the chain free or ‘clamped’ (keeping angle constant).

(2): Scaling no longer needs to be done manually.

(3): Now only usual SL bones are deform bones by default. Thus automatic weighting only affects the SL bones. In previous versions automatic weighted meshes got partially transparent when worn.
