  5.2.2.1 (Blender 5.2 LTS and 5.1) Stable

  Yusarina released this 2026-07-24 18:48:47 +00:00 | 14 commits to main since this release

  This update improves Blender extension compatibility, prevents translation downloads from freezing Blender, speeds up UV repairs, and improves error handling across several tools.

  Fixed:

  • Fixed user settings, translation caches, dictionaries, and downloaded translations being stored inside the extension package.
  • Fixed user data being lost or becoming unwritable after extension updates.
  • Fixed translation and dictionary downloads potentially freezing Blender indefinitely.
  • Fixed an off by one error that skipped the final UV during repair.
  • Fixed broad exception handlers hiding unexpected errors.

  Changes:

  • Runtime user data is now stored in Blender’s persistent writable user data location.
  • Existing user settings are migrated automatically.
  • UV NaN checking and repair now use vectorized NumPy operations for better performance on dense meshes.
  • Exception handling across importer, armature, atlas, scale, and eye tracking tools now catches specific expected errors.

  Compatibility:

  • Updated runtime data handling to comply with Blender extension system guidelines.

  5.2.2.0 (Blender 5.2 LTS and 5.1) Stable

  Yusarina released this 2026-07-23 19:58:49 +00:00 | 20 commits to main since this release

  This update fixes several long-standing bugs and issues, adds a Rigify converter, improves internal functionality, and removes Blender extension policy violation warnings.

  Fixes:

  • Fixed custom split-normal baking in OptimizeStaticShapekeys.
  • Fixed remove_doubles hanging on meshes with fewer than 100 vertices.
  • Fixed translation placeholder errors and brought all locales back in sync.
  • Fixed version checks by reading Cats_Version from the extension manifest.
  • Fixed extension packaging and removed the sys.path policy violation.
  • Fixed several long-standing TODOs involving MMD colour baking, eye tracking, VRM detection, and object visibility.
  • Fixed invalid Python escape sequences across armature bone mappings.

  Bone Protection and Reporting:

  • End bones are now kept by default.
  • Added protected bone patterns to prevent selected bones from being deleted or renamed.
  • Added original bone-name tracking for more accurate change reports.
  • Improved reporting to distinguish renamed bones from deleted bones.

  Rigify Support

  • Added a Convert Rigify to Cats operator.
  • Supports Rigify and Metarig bone naming.
  • Collapses split limb chains and can optionally merge twist bones.
  • The button only appears when a valid Rigify armature is selected.
  • Fix Model now directs Rigify users to the new converter.

  The converter is currently located under MMD Options until a future UI rework.

  Internal Changes

  • Updated MMD Tools to 4.5.13.
  • Reworked bundled dependencies into proper Python sub-packages.
  • Removed outdated Blender pre-5.1 compatibility code.
  • Removed committed bytecode and excluded development scripts from release packages.
  • Renamed the project to Cats Blender Plugin.
  • Updated project contact and credits.

  5.2.1.0 (Blender 5.2 LTS and 5.1) Stable

  Yusarina released this 2026-07-17 14:15:51 +00:00 | 35 commits to main since this release

  This update modernizes CATS internals, fixes several long-standing bugs and performance issues, and includes a best-effort fix for the Resonite exporter. This update works with Blender 5.1 and 5.2 LTS.

  • Modernized CATS internals and removed outdated Blender code.
  • Fixed several long standing bugs and performance issues.
  • Fixed eye tracking backups by restoring a missing JSON import.
  • Fixed pose modifier ordering warnings.
  • Improved modifier removal reliability.
  • Made network features fail gracefully when requests is unavailable.
  • Updated the Resonite exporter to use automatic textures, export a single GLB, bake modifiers, and disable animations by default.
  • Added tests for mesh repair deduplication and missing requests imports.

  Resonite exporter changes are best effort and currently untested as I don't play it.
