Next beta (since I'm mostly in requested and/or needed fixes, I'm putting out a lot of betas) will have these changes:

* Believe it or not -- limited undo!  It does pose bone changes
* New color scheme for meshes/bones.  Bones are very easy to pick out instead of hidden in the mesh
* Bone handles now draw above the mesh, making them easy to click and drag
* Option (in toolbar) to make bone drag rotate or stretch/shrink

Not done yet, but an option to "stick" particles to a bone.  This will create 3 options for particle launches from a bone:

(1) regular - particles stay where they are launched
(2) inherit motion - particles inherit the motion of whatever launched them.  I setup the ray gun smoke to do this and it's fun because you can backup and then run through the smoke as it wizzes past you
(3) stick to bone - launch the particle, and it's position is always updated to the bone that launched it.  Good for muzzle flashes and the like

Hopefully be more network UI stuff (setting chat/score positions) too.

Very cool.
Can't wait for this.
Great Brian!

how limited is limited undo?

It just undos the last bone change when making poses. It'll grow and include a lot more, but I have a million things to do and wanted to get the most important things off the plate first.

Thanks B, nice job Wink
Awesome, i can't wait! And even though the undo is limited, it's a start. I can't wait until the editor has undoSmile!

That's high on my list, at least for moving/changing segments. I'm buried right now, but it's something I'm certainly going to work on ASAP.

Editor itself has gotten a couple nice "newbie" features and I updated the icons/tooltips a bit.
