Interface

Add manual verification to the Patreon process.
Reduce lag when loading large files.
Reduce save file size.
[Graph] Improve display performance.
[Graph] Adjust junction distance and padding to match default grid settings (this makes junction 25% smaller).
[Graph] Improve junction rendering on non-integer zoom level.
[Graph] Change extension order for diagonal connection to be based on distance to edge instead of ascending.
[Graph] Add undo point for junction anchor positioning.
[Timeline] Hold ctrl while dragging the frame cursor to move outside the animation range.

New Sample gradient node
New Oklch color node
Loading graph now ignores connectivity rules.
New pure function group: A group that only contains static nodes will now be flagged as "pure" and render faster (can be opt-out on the settings page).

Path input now supports "./" for relative location.
Node that connects between inline groups will automatically be included in the group on load.
Setting any file path will now try to redirect the missing file to the new directory.
[SmokeSim] Improve simulation accuracy.
[SmokeSim domain] Add boundary conditions (wall, wrap).
[SmokeSim domain] Add timestep property.
[SmokeSim render] Now use domain dimension by default.
[SmokeSim emitter] Add built-in shape types.
[SmokeSim emitter] Add repulsive, vortex fields.
[Crop content] Background now defaults to transparent instead of black.
[Group IO] Now show the node name when zoomed out.
[Armature create] Improve interface
[Armature create] Combine move and scale to a proper transform tool.
[Armature create] New bone mirror tool.
[Armature pose] Posing now modify vec4 node if connected.
[Armature pose] IK now takes priority when selecting.
[Armature create, pose, rig] Now render armature in graph.
[Inline Loop] Now display repeat junction if set visible.
[Array Sample] Input changed to `any` type.
[VFX Trail] Add a label to enable "output all particles" at the spawner node to render properly.
[VFX] Double-clicking on another non-render node now shows the render preview.
[Number] Rotator display type will also affect preview gizmo.
[Number] New flat-style display option.
[Number] New increment display.
[Number] Range, step, and speed properties now available for rotator type.
[Palette extract] Add mask input.

Fix inline group adding to node when loading.
Fix crash related to struct loading.
Reduce memory use when creating a new node.
Fix errors when duplicating nodes.
Fix decimal precision loss when previewing numbers.
Fix errors when loading some older projects.
Fix quaternion value does not auto-convert vec3.
[Gradient selector] Fix added key has the wrong color in some color space.
[Graph] Fix loopback connection sometimes does not display loop options.
[Graph] Fix junction not showing up unless toggle manually.
[Graph] Fix aligning node can't be undone.
[Graph] Fix dropping the backup project file not loading it.
[Transform Box] Fix rotation textbox overlay not drawn in the right place.
[Transform Box] Reduce widget size.
[SmokeSim apply velocity] Fix node not working.
[Array] Fix hidden junction still showing value.
[Image] Fix path input accept array data.
[Lua surface, Lua compute] Fix value input not showing up in the first argument.
[Scatter] Fix error on processing.
[Scatter, Bend, 3D Transform] Fix pixel interpolation not working.
[Color data] Fix error when processing array.
[Scatter] Fix surface position not updating
[Statistic] Fix min/max add argument swapped.
[oklch] Fix error when using adaptive grey clipping on some input.
