v1.3.1-stable
Spatial Gardener 1.3.1 for Godot 4.2 is here!
This update focuses on compatibility fixes between the plugin and Godot 4.2.
Also:
- #31 got a UX improvement, getting rid of the annoying orange bounding box visible when moving the brush cursor
- #32 was fixed, preventing an error spam due to Godot 4.x changes to multimesh functionality

v1.3.0-stable
Spatial Gardener 1.3.0 for Godot 4.1 is here!
Phew, the marathon is finally over (for the time being).
This update is mostly the same code but ported to the new and shiny Godot 4.1 (first class functions and signals are sick!).
Special thanks to @nan0m and @nonunknown who kickstarted the whole porting process!
Besides that we have a few performance improvements (painting and UI) and stability fixes (there were a few pesky memory leaks).
All in all this update should be stable, but porting between versions is always a tricky subject, so if you find anything that works not as expected, be sure to file an Issue.
NOTE: This change breaks compatability with previous versions (duh). Refer here for a conversion guide

v1.2.0-stable
Spatial Gardener 1.2.0 is here!
This update optimizes Gardener storage to use less space in a .tscn file (up to 50% less).
The size reduction really depends on how much of your scene consists of Gardeners. In a showcase level (the one attached), scene file weights 54% of the original size (18 MB down from 33 MB).
In Gardener-only tests (nothing but plants), these were the compression results:
- 100'000 grass-like instances:
- 48.1 MB before
- 11.2 MB after (23% of the original)
- 10'000 tree-like instances (with collision bodies):
- 7.2 MB before
- 3.6 MB after (50% of the original)
Real-world numbers will vary.

v1.1.1-stable
Spatial Gardener 1.1.1 is here!
This version implements independent plant LODs in instanced scenes. You can reuse your scenes with Gardeners in them and have LODs switch independently for each instance (previously, they were synchronized, which was undesired).
It also implements the ability to import/export instance transforms to JSON and back (for a given plant and Gardener)

v1.1.0-stable
Spatial Gardener 1.1.0 finally solves that particular compatability issue with Godot 3.5!
It also overhauls Gardener Sidepanel UI and adds neat things like custom Plant Labels and Shadow Casting options for LOD Variants. Most importantly you can now erase plants stuck in mid-air thanks to a new Projection Brush! It moves in screen space, just like selection tools in traditional 3D software like Blender, independent from any terrain.
