What's New in r28

r28.1.1 - Fixes

build: 196020 (released September 4th, 2024)

Fixes

DSOF-27052 - Projects that specify extra dlls like d3labs.dll in their dlls.txt file will not longer fail to open if the dlls.txt file has mixed line endings.
DSOF-27831 - Layers with mappings that target no screens which apply affects to PreComp textures no correctly force the layers rendering the PreComps to become active.

r28.1 - QoL and Fixes

build: 195634 (released August 28th 2024)

Improvements

DSOF-11562 & DSOF-24738 mp4 video format files will now correctly be reported as unsupported when loaded, instead of reporting a cryptic error.
DSOF-17285 Include link to release notes webpage in help tab in d3manager
DSOF-24890 Performance improvement when modifying custom parameters for web layers
DSOF-27989 Shortcuts added to move selected layers/groups where the Playhead is
- CTRL + [ Extend/Trim the start of the selected layers to the playhead position
- CTRL + ] Extend/Trim the End of the selected layers to the playhead position
- CTRL + ALT + [ Move the start of the selected layers to the playhead position while maintaining the length of the layers
- CTRL + ALT + ] Move the end of the selected layers to the playhead position while maintaining the length of the layers
DSOF-28080 OSC SockPuppet: Sending an empty string will now assign None to a resource field
DSOF-27793 - Hierarchy->Add Child now allows you to select grandchildren objects. For example consider the following object hierarchy:

Stage → Screen 1 → Screen 2 → Screen 3
                            → Screen 4

Now when selecting children for Screen 1 you can select Screen 3 and Screen 4, whereas previously you could only do so if you removed Screen 2 as the parent of screens 3 and 4.
