Version and commit history check (2026-03-10 17:24Z)

User

1. First, check if there's a version file or manifest in T:\Dynamic-Link-Manager. Look for:

   • blender_manifest.toml
   • __init__.py with version/bl_info
   • Any version.txt or similar files

2. Check if there's a CHANGELOG.md or similar file

3. Run git log --oneline -11 in the T:\Dynamic-Link-Manager directory to get the last 11 commits

Report back what you find for the current version and the commit history.

Thought Process

The user wants me to:

1. Check for version files in T:\Dynamic-Link-Manager
2. Check for a CHANGELOG.md file
3. Run git log --oneline -11 in that directory

Let me start by listing the files in the directory to see what exists, and then read the relevant files.

---

I'll check for version files, changelog, and commit history in the repository.

Thought Process

The ls -la command failed because it's using PowerShell, not bash. Let me try a PowerShell-compatible command to list the directory contents.

Let me list the files using the correct PowerShell syntax.

Thought Process

Good, I found a CHANGELOG.md. Now let me read the key files to check the version:

1. blender_manifest.toml (already seen as open in the editor)
2. __init__.py
3. CHANGELOG.md

Let me read these files using the shell.

Now let me read the version files and CHANGELOG.

# Changelog

## [0.1.2] - 2026-02-19

### Added
- MigFKRot operator: copy FK arm and finger rotations from original to replacement using pose matrix copy.

### Changed
- MigNLA: duplicate actions when copying to repchar so editing on repchar doesn't affect origchar.
- MigFKRot: expanded bone name pattern matching for various rig styles (Rigify and alternatives).
- MigBBody shapekeys: also duplicate shape key actions for independence.

### Fixed
- MigFKRot: add debug logging to show which bones are found and copied.


## [0.1.1] - 2026-02-19

### Fixed
- MigBBody shapekeys: action slot not applying; now copy action and slot props (last_slot_identifier, action_slot, blend/extrapolation/influence) from original base body.
- RetargRelations: skip objects in Original Character's hierarchy (linked collection); only retarget relations outside orig's hierarchy.
- MigBoneConst: copy all constraint properties and targets (RNA POINTER/COLLECTION with origrep retarget), not just type/name/mute/influence.
- AnimLayers: detect/mirror via RNA (obj.als.turn_on) so "Animation Layer attributes migrated" reports correctly.
- MigCustProps: recursive id-property copy for nested groups; debug logging for armature/bone keys.


## [0.1.0] - 2026-02-19

### Added
- Gitea release workflow and runner docker-compose.
- Tweak tools subsection: add/remove/bake constraints for arms, legs, and both; track name and post-clean options.
- MigNLA: when no NLA, copy active action and action slot (incl. last_slot_identifier, blend/extrapolation/influence); debug logging for slot migration.
- NLAMig: AnimLayers support (mirror `als.turn_on`), strip timing and properties; active-action-only path when no NLA tracks.
- Operator icons (CopyAttr, MigNLA, CustProps, BoneConst, RetargRelatives, MigBBodyShapeKeys, pickers, tweak ops).
- BaseBody shapekeys step: prefer original base body's shape-key action slot; library override + editable; copy shape key values.

### Changed
- Operator labels refactored to canonical short names (CopyAttr, MigNLA, MigCustProps, etc.) with `bl_description` on all UI operators.
- Migrate BaseBody shapekeys redefined: find base body in hierarchy, override mesh/key data when linked, then apply shape-key action.
- Button labels truncated (e.g. "NLA", "BaseBody ShapeKeys").

### Fixed
- BaseBody shapekeys: lib override creation and value copy; correct original-base-body lookup and slot assignment.

Thought Process

I now have all the information the user requested. Let me summarize:

1. Version file: blender_manifest.toml exists with version = "0.1.2"
2. CHANGELOG.md: Exists with detailed changelog
3. __init__.py: Exists but does NOT have a bl_info dict with version info - this appears to be a modern Blender 4.x extension format that uses blender_manifest.toml instead
4. Git log: 11 commits provided

Let me report back the findings.

---

Here's what I found:

Version Information

Current Version: 0.1.2

The version is defined in blender_manifest.toml:

schema_version = "1.0.0"
id = "dynamiclinkmanager"
name = "Dynamic Link Manager"
tagline = "Character migrator and linked library tools"
version = "0.1.2"
type = "add-on"
maintainer = "Nathan Lindsay <nathanlindsay9@gmail.com>"
license = ["GPL-3.0-or-later"]
blender_version_min = "4.5.0"

The __init__.py file exists but does not contain a bl_info version dict - this project uses the newer Blender 4.x extension manifest format (blender_manifest.toml) instead of the legacy add-on format.

CHANGELOG.md

Found CHANGELOG.md with the following recent entries:

Version	Date	Highlights
