[BrendanParmer]

Issues

• Blender 4.5 LTS #158

Features

NodeToPython

• Support new nodes and settings
• Deprecated many compositor node settings that were converted to sockets

• Support toggle panels
• Support new tree socket settings, including
  • layer_selection_field
  • is_inspect_output (4.2+)
  • default_input (4.5+)
  • is_panel_toggle (4.5+)
  • menu_expanded (4.5+)
  • structure_type (4.5+)
• Color balance node settings are no longer overridden starting with Blender 4.5

NodeSettingsGenerator

• Script checks for setting deprecation in the attribute description.
  • Settings that are marked deprecated in a version will not be output for that Blender version, as they are typically either unneeded or set via another means in that Blender version (usually sockets)
• Added ST.FORMAT_STRING_ITEMS
• Script now recognizes Blender 4.5 as the last in the 4.x series
• Added an NTP_MIN_VERSION global to make it easier skip Blender versions.
  • Should do Node Settings Generator: Cache previous version of Blender #143 for future improvements
• Logging is now thread-safe
