Hello Awesome Folks!

Those of you who use the Next Version branch already know this since yesterday: there's a new update for Animaze.

Because last autumn and earlier this year, we have witnessed several events that have caused headaches for AWS or internet routing (likely due to global conflicts), we are making some changes to the Animaze app to make it more resilient to internet outages or unresponsive servers.
Please note that using this version will require a re-login in your Animaze account (if you were using one).

Full chagelog:

• Fixed the Tongue Out special pose trigger

• The MP4 video exporter now uses the AV1 codec

• speed optimization on loading avatar blendshapes,

• Added webm video exporter with options to use either VP8 or VP9 codec

• general account security updates, improved resilience on problematic connections to the login server.

• Improved default motion filtering settings for Direct Mapping mode on iOS tracking, to ensure smoother animation

• extra logs on OpenGL availability (and ChatPal issues, where available)

If there are any unexpected issues with this version, remember that you can always roll back to the Previous Version branch to use the previous version for a while still, until your reports are investigated.
If you need a reminder on how to do that, here it is: https://www.animaze.us/faq/animazedesktop/navigatebranches
