v1.6.3

English

This release adds an update window that shows what is new before you install, makes scene puppets more lifelike and fixes several scene wallpapers that did not draw correctly

Breaking Changes

• The What's New window no longer opens after an update, because the update window now shows the release notes before you install (fd967f9)

Features

• When an update is available, a window shows the new version and the notes of every release since yours, readable in English, Simplified Chinese or Korean (fd967f9)
• From the update window you can install with a progress bar and restart into the new version, skip that version or be reminded on the next launch (fd967f9)
• A new option in the update window and in Settings, About downloads updates in the background and installs them while the display sleeps or the Mac is locked, off by default (fd967f9)
• Scene puppets now play texture animations such as eye blinks, so Swimming Kirby blinks just as it does in Wallpaper Engine (closes #88) (9684d3f)

Bug Fixes

• Scene wallpapers whose layers use each other's images, or whose scripts switch layer effects, now draw correctly (closes #89) (417ce05)
• Puppets with effects no longer show small, chopped copies of their own picture beside them (closes #88) (9684d3f)
