Version 1.2.3
=============

**New Features:**

Version 1.2.2
=============

**Bug Fixes:**

- Fixed a window popup that appeared when using Array Control Window.

Version 1.2.1
=============

**New Features:**

Version 1.2
=============

**New Features:**

- Added a new "spacing" field for Live Plane function. Spacing allows for more precise control of the Live Plane grid resolution.
- Live Plane Align can now align to X,Y,Z,-X,-Y,-Z axes via the new marking menu (hold RMB on Align). This will align the selected axis of the mesh to the live plane grid. Hotkeys are also available.
- No more default material for the Quick Materials. Default swatch will be either lambert1 or standardSurface1 material depending on the Maya version. gsBlankMaterial will no longer be used as a placeholder.
- Added new Array Control Window. This window holds all the array controls that were previously only available from the Channel Box.
- Linear Arrays now support multiple target curves. It will create an array on each of the target curves.
- Added additional Array controls such as Twist, Twist Deform, axis Offsets, Scale and more.
- All the windows within the plug-in are now updated to the new consistent style.
- All the controls and buttons now have a tooltip attached. Hover over any control to get a quick tooltip with hotkeys, tips and advanced functions. Tooltips can be disabled in the Options menu.
- Boolean function now has an optional "reverse selection" order toggle in the Options. Reversing the selection order will allow change which object is considered a "base" object and which objects are "cutter" objects. Either last or the first object in the selection can now be "base" object, with the rest being the "cutter" objects.

**Improvements:**

- Delete Node button label and function name was changed to Undo Edit to better describe its functionality.
- Boolean functions are now compatible with instances and multi-boolean function was optimized.
- Boolean delete function general improvements.
- Array attributes can now be controlled while selecting either mesh or the control curve (via the new Array Control Window).

- Removed unnecessary nodes from MatCap material.
- Improved swatch rendering for Quick Materials.


**Bug Fixes:**

- Separate objects will now properly work on multiple selected meshes.
- Deleting matcap materials will no longer show an error in the script editor.
- Material swatches will now have the correct background color.
- Some python v2 compatibility improvements (for older Maya versions).
- Global Material toggle will no longer cause "Green Material" to appear on meshes that used the global material as their current material.
- Set Hidden in Outliner option fixed.
- Array hotkey was fixed.


Version 1.1.9
=============

**Bug Fixes:**

- Fixed multiple hotkeys:

  - UnCrease Plus
  - Selection: By Angle
  - Selection: Border
  - Selection: NGons
  - Selection: Hard Edges
- Other small fixes.

**Technical:**

- Decoupled the plug-in from the “version/scripts” folder for easier use of modules in studio environment. The only “hardcoded” path now is the “log.log” file path. It will be created in the same folder as before “version/scripts/gs_toolbox/log.log” for each user.

Version 1.1.8
=============

**New Features:**

- Maya 2025 Support (please report bugs).

**Improvements:**

- Old versions are now available as a download (v1.1+).
- Snap to Poly algorithm was improved.

  - Snapping multiple selected objects to multiple faces will now work as expected.
  - If the number of selected faces is bigger than the number of selected objects it will now snap everything in a repeating pattern, so all the faces are populated.

- General code improvement for maintainability.
- Hotkeys system was changed internally for better maintainability. You might need to check your hotkeys for GS Toolbox.

**Bug Fixes:**

- Fixed a rare bug with custom materials that prevented them from being created.
- Fixed a Snap to Poly bug that prevented it to be functional if only one poly is selected.
- Extract Snapshot bug was fixed.
- Several small bug fixes with regex and other boring stuff.

Version 1.1.7
=============

- Fixed "Save Preset" swatch generation bug in Quick Materials

Version 1.1.6
=============

**New Features:**

- Maya 2023 Support
- Selection Sets Boolean Logic. Middle Mouse Drag or Click with Modifiers:

  - **Shift + Ctrl** to add selection to the layer or (combine layers if dragged)
  - **Shift + Alt** to get a difference between the layer and the selection (or the difference between dragged and target layer)
  - **Ctrl + Alt** to get an intersection between the selection and the layer (or the intersection between the dragged and target layer)
  
**Improvements:**

- Major improvement for Duplicate and Extract functions. They will now separate only selected faces and other detached shells will stay combined with the original object.
- Added Hotkeys:

  - Create Crease Sets
  - Creases to Bevels
  - Bake Crease Sets

**Bug Fixes:**

- Fixed a bug with "Repeat Last" hotkey not working for some functions.

**Deprecation:**

- Maya 2017 Support is Dropped. It might still work just fine but there will be no bug fixes for this version.

Version 1.1.5
=============


**Improvements:**


- Duplicate Faces and Extract functions will now respect Isolate Select when used.
- Added a warning to the Array functions when it detects that the scene units are different from "cm". This is due to limitation of MASH system. MASH does not support anything other than centimeters and (since Array functionality heavily relies on MASH) neither Array function in Toolbox.

**Bug Fixes:**

- Fixed a critical bug with Fill function that caused incorrect positioning of the vertices when scene units were different from "cm". Every scene unit is now supported by the Fill function.

Version 1.1.4
=============

**New Features:**

- Added a Shift modifier for "Apply Boolean" button to keep the boolean group hidden after "Apply" button is pressed
  
  - Holding Shift will now result in an old behavior - deletion of the boolean group
  - Normal click will now result in a boolean group hidden, but not deleted

- Added an option in the options menu to store applied boolean groups in a separate group called "GS_AppliedBooleans"

**Improvements:**

- Added additional hotkeys for some Shift modified commands
- Modifier and Marking menu icons visuals were improved

**Bug Fixes:**

- Fixed position resetting of the main window after Maya is reloaded
- Bevel Plus will now work correctly on instanced objects
- Shift can now be used when setting custom hotkeys
- Some minor typos and code fixes
