Change Log for v2.0.6:

• added: Support for Blender 3.10
• added: Support for 2nd Gen Looking Glass devices

Change Log for v2.0.5:

• added: "errors only" option for the logging (thanks @TheDuckCow)
• added: Error reporting when unsupported video formats are selected
• fixed: an issue with stereoscopy settings that could raise an exception during quilt assembly in multiview rendering mode (thanks @MiniEval)
• fixed: saving quilts on network drives failed
• fixed: an exception during deactivation of the add-on
• fixed: some smaller issues with the logger system

Change Log for v2.0.4:

• added support for a Blender patch which speeds up the live view rendering
• added preferences' option which enables to set the level of detail for log-files (useful for bug reports)
• removed: support of versions 2.93.0 to 2.93.5 (those were missing the color correction for the add-on's live view due to a Blender bug)
• fixed: quilt rendering did not work correctly when the camera was parented to another object
• fixed: the add-on's "Shading & Overlay" view settings for the live were not applied correctly

Change Log for v2.0.3:

• added support for Macs with M1 processors
• added a command line mechanism which enables render farms to implement support for Alice/LG
• optimized live view performance on the add-on side (still require Blender modifications for significant speed improvement)
• fixed a bug which caused Blender crashes upon selection of specific quilt presets
• fixed a bug with the "Use Device Settings" option, which was not respected in all cases
• fixed a bug occurring during the quilt assembly if "View and Quilt Files" option was selected
• fixed a bug on Linux where pip could be missing and prevent the installation of the Python dependencies
• further minor fixes

Change Log for v2.0.2:

• added a new preview mode ('No Preview') for the Lightfield Viewport, which only updates the hologram after the user stoped its current interaction
• 'skipped views' and 'restricted view cone' preview modes render a bit faster now
• fixed a bug where the lightfield viewport was redrawn during material setting changes although the quilt viewer was active
• fixed a bug which prevented the cancelling of the quilt rendering using with theEsc key

Change Log for v2.0.1:

• default quilt presets are now detected automatically based on default quilt settings reported by HoloPlay Service
• automatically detect quilt presets for the quilt viewer based on the quilt metadata suffix
• aspect ratio for metadata suffix now limited to 2 decimal digits
• changed: the "restricted view cone" preview mode for the lightfield viewport ("live view") is now turned on by default
• fixed a bug that prevented the creation of a new Looking Glass camera
• fixed color management issue of the lightfield viewport ("live view") for Blender 3.0+ (still persisting for Blender 2.93 LTS)

Change Log for v2.0.0:

• major internal code optimizations to make the add-on more future proof towards changes, new devices, etc.
• added a detailed log-file mechanism to make bug-reports easier
• optimized the "Continue Incomplete Render Jobs"
• the separate lightfield viewport window was removed and Alice/LG now relies on HoloPlay Service for displaying content on devices (no manual window movement required anymore)
• added an additional option in the preferences to use the multiview camera system during quilt rendering
• added a "cancel" button for the quilt (animation) rendering
• added alternative preview modes to speed up the lightfield viewport ("live view")
• custom quilt presets can now be added in the presets folder of the add-on (future versions will implement an user interface for this)
• some smaller bug fixes & smaller optimization
