Hello! Here is the second (And hopefully the last one before the stable release) release candidate version of the huge migration of PixelOver to the next major version of Godot, going from Godot 3.5.1 to Godot 4.4.
As previously announced, this update is more than just a migration. It introduces 2 major new features: the ability to add shaders to individual objects and blending mode.
Please note that pre-release versions may be unstable.

Per-object shaders. This feature is especially useful for tasks like adding a separated outline to each element of a bone chain.

Allow parent-child layers.
And multiple layers to be a clipping mask under one layer.

Changes

| Dialogs are now using sub-windows, which will allow floating panels in the future. |
