Release Notes:

Features:

• Added option to only show favorite morphs in the trigger receivers list, on by default. Toggled on Person Control & Physics 1 tab. Reduces the huge long lists down to a manageable size

Tweaks:

• Misc: Added SteamVRFrustrumAdjust script for Pimax users to get better FoV without popin
• Packaging: Add-On Package refresh is now incremental and can be faster in many situations (exception: morph package changes)
• Person: Pose presets now store bone relative position/rotation for smoother restore, especially when control is offset from the joint by a significant degree - also fixes poses that were saved while control was pressed into another surface where bone was blocked by a collider
• Possess: Added indicator to show what controller head is possessing when the UI is open
• Possess: Added option toggle to allow mouse pan/zoom when possessing head
• Possess: Added option to turn off the deactivation of other controls on possess of head, left hand, or right hand (go to the Control tab of those controllers to change)
• Textures: ImagePanel* images now use mip-mapping which can prevent artifacts like moire and jagged edges when viewed from a distance or off angle
• Textures: non-power-of-two (NPOT) sized textures are now stored uncompressed in the texture cache and recompressed after load. This works around a Unity issue that prevents compressed & mipmapped NPOT textures from loading correctly with the raw texture load function that was being used for cached texture loading. This should fix the lack of mipmaps on these textures which could cause artifacts like moire, jagged edges, and sparkle. To see this fix requires clearing the texture cache to get the currently non-mipmapped textures to be regenerated to have mipmaps.
• Textures: Genital texture generation now errors if input torso texture is not 4096x4096 which is a requirement for it to work correctly
• Usability: World UI (top menu) distance in VR is now closer and can be controlled by a new preference (in User Preferences VR 1 tab)
• Usability: File browser button text minimum font size increased so files with longer names are more readable
• Usability: SubScene motion animation with autoPlay set to true now starts playing on load even if VaM is in edit mode
• Usability: Error and message logs max length increased from 5000 to 20000 characters
• Usability: Error log messages now have !> prefix to make it easier to see separate messages

• Flip Toolbar preference now works correctly in Play Mode
• Fixed Use Monitor View and Focus Offset when UI is Open preference not always saving
• Fixed odd ratio images no longer loading correctly
