Added
- The selection transformation system has been completely remade, finally allowing support for easy rotation and skewing!
- A new isometric box tool!
- Added bucket tool fill mode where regions from the merging of all layers are filled.

- You can now hide all other layers when holding Alt and clicking on the visibility button of a layer.
- Users can now change the alpha of the transformation preview from the preferences.
