:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Update 17/04/2020  ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

--- Z-Depth pass render ---
--- near plane (close distance to the camera) in white ---
--- far  plane (far distance to the camera)      in black ---

I was scared that a few of users decrement the "Near Clipping Plane" until the clipping started; and these users weren't clever enough to increase the near plane until the clipping disappears.


:::::::: The new patch limit now the minimum for the "Near Clip Plan" to 0.01 (1mm in front of the camera). https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/622259042/4826661605
:::::::: Dangerous near plane values ​​are now displayed in red text (The same for the FoV values; eq "Perspective distortion")
:::::::: By starting XPS, the "Near Plane" and "Far Plane" values are now reseted to the default values (0.05m ... 150m).
:::::::: Models saved as xps.xps in this patch, that have not more than 4 "bone weights per vertex" are now saved in the XPS 2.x format and can be loaded in older XPS versions and in Blender 7.x or 3D Max. Only if the model has more than 4 weights per vertex, then the model must be be saved as XPS Format 3.x ( and required 11.8.9 or higher to support up to 32k bones per vertex) . https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/837550838/4834286760
:::::::: New Shader to render Onion Skinning "File-->Render animation as Background image" to make it easy to adjust "between" poses


:::::::: More accuracy (0.01) for all values in Light dialog and for the "Height" value in the Control-Gui. The values ​​can be typed in or changed with the mouse wheel.

:::::::: XPS 11.8.9 supports now up to 4 GB RAM (LAA). A lot of models per scene and 800% of Full HD images.
:::::::: Values for "User Written Shaders" are now saved in the .scene file

  --- Z-Depth pass (near plane in white; far plane in black) ---
:::::::: "Save UV map" changed to supports models with "grouped" ('|') "Optional Items"
::::::: Bug "Light 3 horizontal - the effect of changing angles isn't displayed by moving the slider, changes only by hitting enter." is fixed 17/04/20
::::::::
:::::::: I thinks ... that was everthing


:::::::::::::::::::::: Update 05/03/20 to fix the "load scene" BUG :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Yes, 11 years ago XNALara was born..
Now, the 189 version of XNALara/XPS 11.8.9 will support
"Pose Mode Keys"
"switching between orthographic and perspective"
"More than 4 bone weights per vertex"
"Near Clipping plane"
"WYSIWYG mode for Save Image"
"Mask shader to cut out the background"
"Normals are now displayed in pose"
"Normals can now be scaled (Preferences-->General-->Normal scale)"
"Pose sequence files are now also sorted by dictionary order for non-NTFS file systems"
"File->load scene, and check "use different model(s)" works now also for texture pack models (double dash notation). It just required a (even empty) file named 'Placeholder.mesh'  inside the double--dash data folder"
"BUG fixing for the Material Editor if a texture is removed and then added again"
"Hotkeys to roll the camera ('y' and 'x' keys)"
"Lock bone groups (nodes) -- Ctrl+L"
"Display only locked bones" under "Config" menu
...
not enough time for that
next time more informations
