We are delighted to present the new release of BlenderKit 3.8.0.230711-rc. This update contains several enhancements and bug fixes, which aim to provide better user experience and improved functionality. Here's a summary of what's new and improved:

Improvements

🔒 Private Uploads Do Not Require Category Filled In (#661): Private uploads now require only the asset, name, and thumbnail, making the process more faster and user-friendly. See the full changes here.

📁 Category Icon Addition and Search Parameter Updates: Category browsing now displays results for the asset type without automatically clearing it when switching to different asset type and then back. The update also allows parameters to be shared between categories, and scrolls to zero for new search results. See the full changes here.

⚙️ Add Property for Search Field Width, Cleaner Preferences Menu (#702): We've revamped the preferences menu and added an option to set the search field width. In addition, we now provide a greyed list of important paths at the end of preferences for users to understand which directories to delete for add-on cleaning. See the full changes here.

🔍 Uppercase Enabled in Search: We have enabled the use of uppercase characters in the search functionality. This adjustment aims to enhance the search experience and facilitate manual entry of some parameters. See the full changes here.

Fixes

🔧 Fix uploads of HDRs (#724): We've addressed an issue where the BlenderKitHDRUploadProps object was unable to locate the 'thumbnail' attribute. See the full changes here.

⏱️ Improved Handling of Timed Out API Key Tokens (#733): This update introduces measures to handle expired API key tokens better. When a token times out, the add-on will attempt a refresh. In case of a refresh failure, it automatically logs the user out and displays a helpful message. More details can be found here.

🐛 Fix Context in Blender 4.0 and Also blf: This release resolves the issue of search results appearing black in Blender 4.0.0, and fixes the change of context parameters and context override. See the full changes here.

🔧 Fix Error on Assetbar Show, Error on Report Draw in Blender 4.0.0-alpha (#687): The latest update removes the DPI from def get_text_size, without changing the results. The 2D_ / 3D_ prefixes for built-in shader names have been deprecated. See the full changes here.

For more details on these and other changes in this release, please refer to the Full Changelog. Thank you for your continuous support and feedback that help us make BlenderKit better.
