Fixed broken references in Spine animation package.
1.6.3 - 2024-11-12
New Features
Local Time Scope: Isolate tracks and keyframes for editing and playback in local time relative to the selection. This focuses the entire timeline view on the selected objects until the mode is exited.
This feature mimics the behavior of nested Timeflows (or precomps) without any extra setup or overhead.
When prefab objects are opened, they are automatically displayed in Local Time Scope.
Users can quickly switch between global time and Local Time Scope for any selected tracks, keyframes, markers, or prefabs using the keyboard shortcut S, or clicking the icon in the menu bar, or double-click on any selected track to display the selection in an isolated timeline.
Hold the Alt key to also isolate the selected objects in Solo Mode.
Double-click in any empty area in the track view to exit Local Time Scope and return to the global time view.

New Features
Auto keyframing now detects material property changes.
Added 'Auto Fit Graph' setting. Use the keyboard shortcut Control + F, or hold Control while clicking the Fit View button to toggle auto mode on or off. While auto fit is active, any time a channel is selected to view in the graph, it automatically adjusts the vertical size to fit the channel curve.
Graph View now remembers the vertical zoom and scroll for each channel, so when a channel is selected the graph automatically resizes to it, reducing the need to fit the view every time.
Added new preference setting 'Display Scrollbar On Left' - when enable, the vertical scrollbar is displayed on the left side of the timeline area, otherwise it is displayed on the right side by default.
Fixes
Improved auto keyframing detection to only listen for direct changes on selected game objects.
Dragging and panning in the Graph View is now separate from the object hierarchy panel scroll.
Improved behavior of locking objects and channels by keeping the selection until deselected by the user.
Channels are implicitly locked when their parent objects are locked. When a channel is not directly locked itself, a half-opacity lock icon is displayed.
1.6.1 - 2024-10-26
New Features
Auto keyframing has been extended to detect most property changes on components. This automatically adds the object to the Timeflow view, creates an animation channel for the property, and sets an initial keyframe at the current time.
The preference 'New Channel Attribute Mode' has been added determining whether new auto-keyframed channels are created using combined values (XYZ), or separate attribute channels (X, Y, Z) for each value modified. The default is Auto mode which treats Color and Rect fields as combined, and vectors and other types as separate.
Hold the Alt key when changing a property to force combined attributes, or hold the Control key to force separate attributes.
Note: Auto keyframing cannot detect changes to materials or assets, however Timeflow can animate most properties when mapped explicitly from the property select menu or using a script to map to custom properties.
PlaceOnPath now supports a PathProvider to implement custom path interpolation. A sample has been added to demonstrate using Unity Splines - see the scene 'PlaceOnPath_UnitySpline'.
TimeflowObject now exposes events in the editor for Track On, Track Off, and Track Visibility Changed - to execute custom behaviors when tracks in Timeflow start and end.
Added Vertical Tangents button to the graph view to align selected keyframe tangents vertically.
Bezier curve tangents in the graph view now support time and value snapping, either toggled using the snap buttons or by holding the Alt key (after drag start).
Hold the Shift key while adjusting tangents to constrain them flat or vertical, depending on the direction of drag.
Added support for UnityEngine.Object types to animate any object property.
Texture properties can now be animated. See the sample scene 'TextureAnimation'
Added the option 'Always Show Values' in the channel context menu. When enabled, keyframe value labels are always shown for that channel regardless of whether 'Show Keyframe Values' is enabled or not in the Timeflow view.
Added Go to Start/End and Set Start/End commands to the tracks context menu.
Fixes

Fixed bug with Vector4 keyframes losing w attribute value.
Fixed errors that occur when disabling the main Timeflow component.
Fixed bug with a new Game View window sometimes being spawned when entering play mode.
Fixed bug with marquee selection and editing keyframes in a locked Graph View affecting selected channels not visible in the view.
Fixed null reference error using 'Destroy All Timeflow Behaviors'.

Use Alt + Shift + S for 'Solo Mode (Append)' to add selected objects to the current solo state.
Changed keyboard shortcut for 'Save Scene Backup' to Control + Alt + S to resolve conflict with 'Solo Mode (Append)'
Fixed 'Set End of Selected Tracks' - was mapped incorrectly to set the in point.

Added the Auto Play setting 'Startup Frame Buffer'. This improves animation playback when a scene starts up at runtime by waiting for the scene to fully initialize before Timeflow is started.
Added a new button in the lower toolbar to fit the graph or track view. This works the same as using the keyboard shortcut key F. Hold Shift to fit the time of the selected keyframes (or full duration if none selected).
When holding the Shift key, the prev/next frame buttons (or Page Up/Page Down) now go to the prev/next keyframe displayed. Previously, it only navigated to selected keyframes and channels, but now ignores the selection and includes all displayed objects and channels.
Double-clicking an Animation Clip channel in Timeflow now opens the clip in the Animation window.
Improved object and channel selection highlighting.
Fixes
Improved channel height adjustment controls

1.5.5 - 2024-07-09
New Features
The Timeflow Preference 'Show Key Values In Graph' has been removed and replaced with a toggle switch in the Timeflow window toolbar, next to the grid time display. This allows keyframe values to be toggled on/off in both the graph and track views as needed.
Noise behavior now has an Override Output option. This allows each attribute (XYZW) of the final noise to be set to a fixed value or controlled by animation.
A new preference setting 'Draw Linked Channel Data' has been added to display ghosted keyframes or animation curve for linked channels to help visualize how the data is being replicated. The ghosted channel data is view-only and can only be edited in the original channel.
'Expand Looped Keyframes' is now available from the context menu for selected channels. This replicates the keyframes in the looped area to fill the work area or duration of the timeline. Use this to quickly replicate and then edit looped keyframes.
A preference setting has been added 'Expand Looped Keyframes Overwrite' to specify whether you wish to overwrite keyframes in the target time range, or keep them.
Linked channels now show ghosted keyframes to visually depict where animation from the linked channels is being replicated. This also aids in visualizing the time offset.
When working with the Time Offset column, any channels with active links show the link's time offset rather than the channel's time offset.
A new interface ITimeflowPlayback has been added to implement basic playback events for custom scripts without having to use any of the Timeflow base classes. This allows any script to receive events to Play, Stop, Rewind, and Update in sync with a Timeflow instance.
