v5.0.0

Added

• Native import of DayZ .xob (Enfusion) models — rigged base bodies come in directly, including armature, mesh, UVs, skin weights, normals, and materials, with no external conversion tool needed.
• Native import and export of DayZ .anm animations, including note/event tracks, so animations can round-trip through Blender without external tools.
• Auto LODs Generator: LOD generation (resolution, view pilot, geometry, memory, fire geometry, view geometry) is now built in, folding in what used to be a separate addon.
• "Add DayZ Character Rig" command that inserts a ready-to-use DayZ master rig for retargeting animations and testing garment weighting against imported .xob bodies.
• DayZ Tools integration: a "DayZ Tools" install path preference and "Find DayZ Tools" operator, with binarized model.cfg conversion via DayZ Tools' CfgConvert.
• "Add DayzTemporarySkeleton" rigging preset with the correct 159-bone DayZ skeleton and PascalCase vertex-group naming.
• Imported .xob armatures now default to a Stick display shown in front, for easier viewing alongside the mesh.
• Import and export menu entries are now grouped under a single "DayZ" submenu with icons, instead of being scattered across the File menus.

Changed

• All operator IDs and class names moved from the a3ob./A3OB_ namespace to dzob./DZOB_, and UI text now refers to DayZ instead of Arma 3. Existing setups using the old identifiers are not drop-in compatible.
• Removed RTM animation support (import/export, RTM properties panel, batch conversion scripts) in favor of DayZ's Enfusion animation pipeline.
• Built-in proxy and penetration material presets now point at vanilla DayZ content instead of Arma 3 paths; Arma-only presets with no DayZ equivalent were dropped.
• README and in-app descriptions rescoped to DayZ, dropping Arma 3 positioning (upstream credits/license retained).
• Removed the in-repo changelog and "Open Changelog" command; version history is now published as GitHub release notes.
• Corrected the minimum supported Blender version to 4.4, matching the animation API actually used.

Fixed

• Silenced Python SyntaxWarnings caused by unescaped backslashes in regex and path strings.
