Notes
In this release we've done more work to refine the Timeline bar and improve its usability and reliability. Other changes include some improvements for 8 Direction's new 'Allow sliding' mode, and a new 'Is effect enabled' condition. We also have a new Alchemist example you can check out.
We're aiming to get to a stable release in the next couple of weeks, so the focus is now on bug fixes and reliability. Stay tuned for more updates!
