1.0

First official release.

Anything marked with (New) is a new significant feature not in the Nicalis editor; things marked with (New?) are kinda newish, or significant extensions of something in the Nicalis editor.

This is also going off of the 0.9 release.

Changes

General

• Tweaked UI in a lot of places; buttons resizing to their child, etc.
• Added confirmation popup when doing delicate things (such as exiting)
• Update rate increased (based on Vsync); UI a LOT smoother.
• Float inputs will change decimal places based on the value input; between 0-2 decimals

(New) Notifications

• Small little toast notifications will appear in the bottom right based on contextual actions that before were invisible to the user (i.e., saving, undoing, etc.)

(New) Tooltips

• Tooltips will now clarify the functionality of a lot of features; hover over something to read them.

(New) Snapshots

• A pretty robust snapshot system (undo/redos) has been added. You can undo/redo most edits like frame property changes, animation/event changes, etc.

Drag and Drop

• You can now drag anm2 files onto the editor to load them
• (New) This also includes .pngs to add as spritesheets!

Settings

• Settings will now be saved/loaded to from anm2eds new config directory, not the executable path (%APPDATA%\anm2ed\ for windows, ~/.local/share/anm2ed for linux)
• If a settings file doesn't exist, a more proper default one will be loaded in, allowing first time use to be smoother
• Settings preserves a ton of additional values, allowing you to pick right off from your last session.

Anm2 (file format handling)

• Layers are now properly ordered via their order in the .anm2, and not by index (using a map).

Input
