3.2.0 Stable

Final Release of 3.2.0!

Full installer packages.

Our manual has also been updated in format. Much of the content is still based on the 3.0-Series manual

Changes since last Stable:

• Added basic syntax highlighting to script editors
• Save basic rendering settings as scene meta-data
• Fix Soft Shadows to only be rendered when AA active
• Traditional Chinese Translation added courtesy of Distance Learning Center
  at the Chinese Culture University (Open Source Software for School project)
• Fix bug with distance to plane(View rotates around this distance)
  when copying/duplicating Scene Camera
• Fix display bug with Cylinder pose track
• Fix bug with duplicating pose tracks - subtracks handled correctly
• Update to jogl 2.4.0-rc-20200307 fixes several compatibility bugs
• Improve joint editor controls
• Better initial orientation of new bones
• Save object Lock state to file (Breaks file compatibility with old versions)
• Smoother behavior of coordinateaxes indicator when rotating the view
• OSSpecific plugin to work with JDK9+ (mostly relevant for mac)
• Bugfix: NPE from autoscroller (harmless bug that dropped messy bits
  in the log)
• CreatePolygon Tool shows live preview, has expand from center option
• Bugfix: Prevent View from zooming too close and locking the view
• Performance improvements to changing topology in triangle meshes
  (Deleting faces or using bevel/extrude)
• Bugfix: Setting View-Rotation center in TriMesh Editor respects
  hidden faces
• Bugfix: Creation of Root Bone in mesh editors now placed at
  reasonable Z-depth
• Bugfix: Correct face-normal direction for flat meshes created by
  text tool
• Bugfix/workaround: prevent crash with some NVIDIA drivers on Windows
• Enhancements to Primitive Creation tools (Added modifier to allow
  center placment on click location)
• Bugfix: Primitive tools much less likely to accidentally create
  zero-size objects. Creation of zero-size objects will not crash view
• 3D-manipulator handles various scaling more sensibly
• Tweak language-selection UI (Language packs shown in their own language)
• Boolean Modeling tool added option to hide original objects

3.2.0 Beta 3

Mostly ready to go. Tweaked some styling in the Script editor, and corrected the file formatting for the Traditional Chinese translation

A few more updates since last nightly:

• Smoother behavior of coordinateaxes indicator when rotating the view
• OSSpecific plugin to work with JDK9+ (mostly relevant for mac)
• Bugfix: NPE from autoscroller (harmless bug that dropped messy bits in the log)

Also including a pre-release of the updated manual format. This is in HTML format - open it with any modern web browser. It does include some Javascript to run a built-in search engine, but does not attempt to connect to the internet.

It's still rough (Work is ongoing!) but we do have the Image Management dialog documented.
We are aware of some existing issues with the manual, but if you notice anything that needs attention, please let us know!

This is a compatibility issue between the opengl binding library, and some builds of openjdk > 8. We are waiting on an updated release from jogamp for a real fix.
