Kage v0.2.200330 released!

Yes. An actual release. Not an April Fool’s.
kagestudio_v0.2.200330_win64.zip

And I kid you not, this release is packed with 65 CHANGES mostly related to Timeline Pane.

Source code is available via SVN, at SourceForge.

As a quick preview, here’s a timelapsed screencast of me illustrating a frame from Japanese Anime, Your Name (Kimi no Na wa).

With the help of my kids and nieces, I was able to do heavy testing and we were able to identify 16 bugs, 12 missing functionalities needing urgent implementation, and 12 optimizations, which were all fixed/implemented/optimized on this release.

As well as fixes of 6 Bug Reports; implementations of 15 Missing Functionalities; and lots of code clean-ups.

Please note that despite all these changes, Kage is still under Alpha Release.
