Happy Starlight, one and all!

Special thanks to @AsgardXIV for so many features in this new update. We are indebted to you!

Fixes

• #696 - Moved Mini Mode toggle into Settings flyout.
• #696 - Added some animations to the Mini Mode icon.
• #699 - Added Model List for Fashion Accessories.
• #703 - Can now pin the currently targeted actor.

• #714 - Added default Masculine Viera poses to the Standard Poses library.

• #721 - Shift clicking no bones will no longer deselect all current bones.

Known Issues

• When multiple actors with the same name are pinned, entering GPose will shuffle which pin corresponds to which actor. We will continue to investigate this.

Notes

• Our self-imposed embargo will lapse in the new year. As such, the Gallery and Model List remain untouched to avoid spoilers as much as possible. We will revisit this in the next build.

2021-12-14 (Beta)

Fixes

• #661, #687 - Time control is back! Thanks @AsgardXIV.
• #668 - Fixed 'destination too short' crash; affected imaged will not be loaded.
• #680 - Improved handling of actor loss.
• #683 - Fixed a fatal error when the actor is lost while posing.
• #685 - Fixed a bug where strings would sometime not load. Thanks @AsgardXIV.
• #666 - Confirmed everything working as intended. G E T T O P O S I N G.
• Fixed file browser not always returning to the last used directory.
• Fixed Masc. Viera skin colours appearing white. Thanks @Khyrou.
• Fixed Viera ear bones appearing in Pose Matrix when the actor is not a Viera.

Improvements

• #571 - Show descriptions as file names for .dat character files.

• Added an option to disable rotation sliders from wrapping.
• Added a check for black Windows trim colours to prevent Anamnesis from appearing broken.

Notes

• #686 - We've adjusted how actor ID's are determined, hopefully to reduce the occurrences of 'actor lost' during use; this may have a knock-on effect on which actors you can pin. Please keep an eye on this one for us!
• The Gallery will not be updated until the beginning of the new year to prevent potential spoilers. While we currently curate the Gallery, we would much rather not take the chance at all. Please rest assured that there are NO spoilers in the Gallery at the moment!

• #669 - Position mode is not working correctly while posing.

Special Thanks
Thanks to everyone who contributed offsets and signatures:
@Maxunit, @Caraxi, @UnknownX7, @Ottermandias, @Reyli
And another thanks to everyone doing alpha testing!

2021-11-30 (Beta)

Fixes

Notes
Since Endwalker is just days away, we've promoted the "unsupported game version" warning to an error. Until we've validated the Endwalker patch, it's unlikely anything in Anamnesis will work. Please be patient!
