  • Added networking diagnostics into daemon to allow users to debug the reasons for failing networking connection and to find the proper configuration, please contact us on Github or email for more information

  • Added better reports when filepath is too long instead of cryptic error message or Index out of range error message

  • Finalized the migration of network request from add-on into daemon to improve stability, performance and configurability of network connection - now all requests to Internet are asynchronous

  • Improved logging configuration in daemon for better debugging and user experience

  • Add-on now requires saved project for download when “local dir mode” is set and shows understandable message, not general error

  • Update bundled dependencies for improved security and performance

  • Removed deprecating bgl module to support thumbnail images in Blender 3.5.0 and higher

  • Added support for dependencies for different versions of Python - add-on is prepared for incoming Python 3.11

  • Fixed decoding error when OS uses ‘gbk’ encoding by default - improves support for users with Chinese set as OS language
