• Do not use sparse accessors when exported from Blender 4.0+
• Fallback to separate textures when using embedded textures on Blender 4.0+ instead of erroring (embedded textures still need to be re-worked to work with Blender 4.0+)
• Require at least panda3d-gltf 1.1.0 (fixes error with using urllib.parse)

• Use unbuffered output for Python in Blender (makes the output more stable for parsing)
• Require panda3d-gltf ~= 1.0

• Fix exporting lights from Blender 3.4+ (use the old RAW lighting export until panda3d-gltf has better support)
• Do not attempt to add actions to NLA editor if not exporting animations

• Re-fix broken animations for Blender 3.6 (the fix broke when fixing Blender 2.83 support)

• Remove support for Blender 2.79
• Fix crashes when a modifier cannot be applied
• Support combined textures generated by the glTF exporter
• Fix exporting animations in Blender 3.6
• Fix Windows error when%temp% is on a different driver
• Force materials to be single-sided by default (override with new --allow-double-sided-materials flag

gltf28

• Do not attempt to delete non-existent mesh node
• Fix applying modifiers and apply modifiers on all meshes (instead of just skinned meshes)
• Fix shape keys when using Blender 3.3+
• Fix version check in blender_script_common to properly detect Blender 3.0+
• Export loose edges and vertices as lines and point (requires Blender 2.93+)
• Set export_keep_originals to True when available since blend2bam does not handle packed textures well

CLI

• Show defaults for options in help text
• Hide some prints behind a new --verbose flag

Other

• Fix FileNotFoundError when looking for flatpak versions of Blender (fixes #70)
• Use panda3d-gltf CLI instead of using less-stable internal APIs
• Make Settings a mutable dataclass

• Support exporting invisible collision solids without meshes
• Improve caching of running Blender checks
• Support Blender 3.0+
• Fix error when '.exe' is appended to --blender-bin argument (#64)
• Support flatpak Blender installs

• Cache getting the blender version to avoid launching Blender so much
• Fix prepare_meshes function for linked collections ("ViewLayer 'x' does not contain object 'y'" error)
• Add --blender-bin option to the cli

• Fix referencing texture paths that start with '..' (#43)
• Don't load temporary BAM file through BAM cache (#44)
• Fix error exporting images whose name doesn't match filename (#49)
• Support locating Blender on macOS

• Apply modifiers on armature meshes before export to speed up animation export
• Add --animations flag, the valid options for this new flag are:
  • 'embed': store animations in the same BAM file as the rest (default)
  • 'separate': store animations in separate BAM files
  • 'skip': do not convert animations

• Various fixes for running on Windows

• Change default material mode from legacy to pbr (this is a breaking change)
• Add partial legacy material support for gltf28 pipeline

• Fix using quotes for --blender-dir option

• Fix errors when using Blender 2.90
• Handle quotes in file paths

• Export tangents when using Blender 2.80+
• Add support for PANDA3D_physics_collision_shapes
• Only call duplicates_make_real() if an object has particle systems
• Attempt to auto-discover Blender install locations on Windows

• Make panda3d-gltf a dependency instead of vendorizing it
• Fix running as a Python File Loader
• Fix error when attempting to make particles real on hidden objects (gltf28)
• Remove explicit gltf28 pipeline option (the correct pipeline is automatically chosen when gltf is selected)
• Fix issue with garbage paths when converting blend files to an intermediate form (#24)
• Auto-export all armature actions by adding them to the NLA editor before invoking the exporter (gltf28)

• Fix potential error when switching to object mode to make particles real

• Allow python -m blend2bam to work
• Fix conversion error if in Pose or Edit mode
• Add --no-srgb option to not make sRGB textures for glTF pipelines (not spec-compliant, but sometimes useful)
• Fix error in Python file loader
• Add new texture handling options to allow copying textures
• Update panda3d-gltf to v0.5
  • This includes various fixes and morph target support

gltf28 Pipeline

• Fix physics export crashing if an armature is present
• Convert particle systems to meshes on export

gltf Pipeline
