2026.06.28-prealpha

This release comes with a compiled version of usdtweak for Windows,macOS, Linux using USD 26.03.
This is still a pre-alpha development version for testing, so be aware it does contain bugs and some features are not complete yet.
However it should be useable for some edition and debug tasks, browsing and tweaking usd stages and layers, creating variants, etc.

This version brings new additions and improvements:

• The text editor has been overhauled, it is more efficient on large scenes and has browsing ability. The undo redo will record only the local changes.
• Searching layers and stages has been improved with a new tool complementary to the string search, a query language named utql. utql allows to write search queries like FIND USDPRIM WHERE NAME LIKE "light" which returns all the prim having "light" in their name and store them in a list. It allows to write more complex queries in a simple way and without using python.
• A natural language scene assistant named Twiki that can connect to Claude. You can talk with it and it can help debug issues, create scenes, do bulk edits, etc.
• The connection editor is now available, with ability to delete connections and remove nodes from the sheet.

You can find most of the documentation on the wiki. Please leave an issue if you are looking for a particular feature that is not documented or if you have any problem with any of the tools.
Any help to improve usdtweak by providing feedback, bug report, workflow ideas / improvement via the issues is warmly welcomed.
Cheers,
