Enhancements​

General​

  • Text Backgrounds now support the last token in the Specific Indices input.
  • Text Backgrounds now support negative values for Specific Indices to select the last, penultimate, third-to-last etc paragraph/line/word/character.
  • Enabling/disabling Fill/Stroke on selected Layers at the same time is now supported. Note - ensure you have the Fill/Stroke tab open before selecting the other Layers (clicking the tab will change selection).
  • Connections to Attributes from other Compositions are now labelled as such.
  • Deleting Layers by selecting them in the Time Editor is now supported again.
  • When adding Random, Oscillator or Stagger Behaviours to Attributes via the right click > Add Behaviour workflow, Cavalry attempts to be more helpful in certain cases. For example:
    • Adding a Random to a default Ellipse's radius.x will set the Random's Maximum to 100 (the Ellipse's width).
    • Adding an Oscillator to a default Ellipse's radius.x will set the Oscillator's Minimum to -100 and Maximum to 100.
    • Adding a Random to the Index of a Color Array with 4 colors will set the Random's Maximum to 4.

Notable Bug Fixes​

General​

  • Further safety checks have been added to resolve a crash happening on opening specific scenes.
  • Animation Curves that do not start on frame 0 are now supported by the Animation Control again.
  • Various issues with Text Backgrounds using Specific Indices have been resolved.
  • A performance drop relating to Gradients in Duplicators has been improved.
  • Where a Pre-Comp contained a Layer with a Shape Time Offset, time remapping the Pre-Comp was creating unwanted time offsets. This has been resolved.
  • Fixed a crash undoing creating Ellipses or Rectangles after adding keyframes (required quite specific steps).

Scripting​

  • Path Animation keyframes were not being recognised as selected. This has been fixed.

Notes​

Some changes to Apple's notarization process meant we had inadvertently bumped our minimum requirements to macOS 12. That is now back to macOS 10.14 as intended for this release.
