    • For more details see the documentation

  • Fixed behaviour of Sequence Operator on Bevels. (see note 2)
  • Fixed bug with random numbers and nested objects. (see note 2)
  • Fixed bug in Arithmetic operator when input values are not of the same type.
  • Fixed: Bevel is not applied correctly on vertices with very small change of angle.
  • Fixed: Extended/Symmetry Bevels don't work if segment is larger than length of initial section path.
