[v0.0.7] - 2026-02-12

Fixed

• Pack: enable autopack before pack_all; force-load images and run pack_all twice; pack remaining images so textures are embedded (fixes "Failed to create GPU texture from Blender image" when rendering headless).
• Remap: print actual paths in warnings (not placeholders); normalized path lookup and reverse copy_map so library blend image paths resolve.
• pack_linked: catch PermissionError on library path checks so inaccessible (e.g. NAS) libs don’t abort; remove missing/inaccessible library refs from blend before save.

---

[v0.0.6] - 2026-01-27

Fixed

• Config import in utils.compat: use from .. import config (config is at addon root)
• Output panel: no longer write to scene in draw(); Blender 5.0 forbids ID writes in draw; operators already fall back to prefs when output_path empty

---

[v0.0.5] - 2026-01-30

Added

• Project size limit (GB) in Output panel: per-pack int (0 = no limit, default 2), max 32-bit int

Fixed

• USD/cache file paths remapped: bpy.data.cache_files[].filepath remapped to packed location; .usd/.usdc/.usda added to copy_map

---

[v0.0.4] - 2026-01-27

Added

• ZIP pack: option to exclude video and audio files from archive
• Default output path in preferences
• NLA enable for animation layers (moved to UI panel; only runs on objects with anim layers)

Fixed

• Physics/point cache included in ZIP pack (robocopy fallback when Python copy fails on network paths)
• Cache truncated to frame range (Blender bphys name_frame_index naming; safeguard if no files match)
• External cache paths remapped to relative (cache dirs in copy_map; prefix matching in remap script)
• Frame range applied only to top-level target blend, not dependent blends
• Recursion issue in all three pack ops; send-current-blend path handling
• Removed packed-suffix behavior

---

[v0.0.3] - 2026-01-22

Changed

• Removed all website functionality per SheepIt developer request
• Operators now save packed files to user-specified locations instead of uploading
• All authentication and website interaction code has been removed
• Users must manually upload and configure projects on the SheepIt website

---

[v0.0.2] - 2026-01-22

Fixed

• Fixed Blender extension policy violations related to batter.asset_usage module import
• Removed sys.path manipulation to comply with Blender extension policies
• Changed from top-level module import to submodule import (registered as ops._asset_usage)
• Fixed dataclasses __module__ resolution issue when loading modules via importlib

Internal

• Refactored batter.asset_usage import to use importlib without violating extension policies
• Module now properly registered in sys.modules as a submodule before execution

---

[v0.0.1] - 2026-01-21

Features

• Initial release of SheepIt Project Submitter
• Three submission workflows:
  • Submit Current: Direct submission of current blend file
  • Submit as ZIP: Automatic asset packing with ZIP archive creation
  • Submit as Packed Blend: Automatic asset packing directly into blend file
• Frame range configuration (full range or custom)
• Automatic asset packing for linked blend files, textures, images, and videos
• Cache truncation to match selected frame range
• Real-time progress tracking with cancellable operations
• File size validation (2GB limit) with optimization suggestions
• Automatic path remapping for all asset types
• Missing file detection and reporting
• Oversized file detection (>2GB linked files)
• Automatic backup file cleanup (.blend1 through .blend32)
• Compressed blend file saves
• Username/password authentication
• Browser redirect to project configuration page after submission
• Works with unsaved blend files (operates on in-memory state)

Internal

• Based on asset usage detection from Batter project
• Modal operator architecture for responsive UI
• Incremental packing system for large projects
• Subprocess-based asset processing for stability
• Comprehensive error handling and user feedback
