1.18.3 beta

Interface

• [Preview panel] Sampling 16, 32-bit color will now display as an array.
• [Preview panel] Add a button to pop up the current node preview as a floating preview window.
• [Preview panel] Add minimap.
• [Graph Panel] Improve node combine action (Ctrl+B, Ctrl+Shift+B)
  • A base node (Blend, Composite) will be created when no node is selected.
  • If a node(s) is selected, it will combine nodes based on the output type.
    • Surface, Dynamic surface: Blend/Composite
    • Number (int, float): Math/Statistic
    • Boolean: Logic opr.
    • Path: Path combine
    • 3D object, light, scene: 3D scene

  
  
• [Graph Panel] Improve performance when viewing large palettes.
  
• [Inspector panel] Improve pathnode widget.
  
• [Add node] Sections are now collapsible.
  
• [Add node, inspector panel] Double-click on a section to collapse/expand all.
  

Node

• Tile system.
• New 3D subdivide node.
• New Sky generator node.
• New shrink palette node.
• New ASE tag node.
• Replace RadSin interpolation with Lanczoz3 (RadSin is basically an approximated version of Lanczoz3, but it doesn't seem to do anything different from bilinear)
• Add the ability to expose node metadata (name, position) as a junction.

• [Displace Vertex] Add option to recalculate normal.
• [L-system] Add 3D option.
• [Split text] Add periodic mode.
• [Blur] Add fractional unit to strength.
• [Canvas] Tile setting now applies to the drawing brush.
• [Scale Algorithm] Add rotation to the cleanedge algorithm.
• [Math, Pixel math] Add fract operation.
• [Pixel math] Add operations to match with math nodes.
• [Draw line, random shape, poly shape] Add antialiasing option (SSAA)
• [Shape] Add corner radius property to gear shape.
• [Grid] Add random shift and random scale properties.
• [Grid] Shift property is now cascading.
• [Palette Extract] Improve performance.
• [ASE Layer] Now use the layer name property instead of the node name.
