Synfig 0.62.02 Release Notes
============================

Bug Fixes:

* Fix Bug #3029832. Time Offset parameter fails for files imported multiple times.
* Fix bug #2958077. Incorrect fps in ListImporter.
* Fix bug #3060560. When linking two tangents, one of which is animated, the animated one is not used.
* Fix and enable saving and loading of color palettes. Use the file extension "spal".

Features:

* New blend method option in the toolbox: "By Layer Default". This allows Synfig Studio to automatically select the blend method most approperiate for each layer. For example, the default blend method for the Shade layer is "Behind".
* New Stroboscope Layer. Ray Fredesikson.
* Added "Static" option for individual parameters. If "Static" is on, editing the parameter in animation mode does not create any waypoints. The option is only available for layer parameters and constant value nodes.
* Smart linking of bline tangents. Linking tangents that run in opposite directions no longer produces twisted shapes. Now all tangents have yellow ducks.

* Spanish translation update. Carlos López
* New translatable strings.

Miscellaneous:

* Synfig Core code review and documentation (partial).
* Synfig Studio code restructuring.
* Reverse manipulation code has been moved into the "Set Value Desc" action. It is now possible to do inverse manipulation on entries in the parameter panel, not just ducks. This also enables recursive inverse manipulation of valuenodes whose subparameters are themselves converted. 
* Rename secondary layer's Z column to "Icon" and make it non-reorderable. Make "Name" column resizable.
* Adapt api.sh script to run as a cron job at tuxfamily servers. The API, updated regularly, is available at http://download.tuxfamily.org/synfig/api/index.html
* Don't limit bitrate to 1000 in target parameters.
* It is now possible to select the release splash screen or the development snapshot splash screen by modifying the configure.ac file.
